[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the calm you show the world,
Every feeling deep and tidal, every thought a pearl,
You speak with careful words that carry more than meets the ear,
A mind and heart so tangled up it takes a while to clear,
You've spent a lifetime learning how to hold what others need,
While tucking your own hunger somewhere nobody can see.

[PreChorus]
But the current knows exactly where it's going,
And everything you carry keeps you growing.

[Chorus]
You are the tide that shapes the stone with patience,
You are the depth that holds the whole foundation,
The world sees still water and doesn't know the pull,
But still water runs the deepest when it's full.

[Verse 2]
You love like a conversation at two in the morning light,
Something bright and curious, something weightless, something right,
You give before you're asked and then you wonder if it's enough,
You've mistaken your own softness for a sign that you're not tough,
But the way you fight for everyone you love without a word,
Is the loudest kind of thunder that was ever, ever heard.

[PreChorus]
You were made to build the things that last forever,
And your worth was never tied to what you weather.

[Chorus]
You are the tide that shapes the stone with patience,
You are the depth that holds the whole foundation,
The world sees still water and doesn't know the pull,
But still water runs the deepest when it's full.

[Verse 3]
You've wrestled with the feeling that you still don't know your ground,
Like something just beyond the edge is waiting to be found,
You've questioned every instinct, second-guessed what you believe,
But a mind that never settles is a mind that won't deceive,
That restlessness inside you is a compass, not a flaw,
It points you toward a purpose wider than you've ever saw.

[PreChorus]
The bones of who you are are built for standing,
And what you're carrying is worth expanding.

[Chorus]
You are the tide that shapes the stone with patience,
You are the depth that holds the whole foundation,
The world sees still water and doesn't know the pull,
But still water runs the deepest when it's full.

[Verse 4]
You came into this world when summer cracked the sky in two,
And something in the cosmos took its time in making you,
The tension in your story is the tension of a bow,
Drawn back only so the arrow has somewhere it can go,
You don't need to be finished to be worthy of the light,
You were written by the universe and every word was right.

[PreChorus]
So let the tide come in and stop resisting,
You are proof that love and strength are not competing.

[Chorus]
You are the tide that shapes the stone with patience,
You are the depth that holds the whole foundation,
The world sees still water and doesn't know the pull,
But still water runs the deepest when it's full.

[Bridge]
Every scar is just the shoreline where the sea met the land,
Every doubt is just a wave that's breaking back to sand,
You were never meant to be easy to contain,
You were always meant to nourish, always meant to remain.

[Outro]
The stars were in agreement on the night that you arrived,
That the world would need your steadiness, your depth, and your drive,
You are held, you are mapped, you are already home,
You were never, not even once, moving through this alone.
