[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that nobody sees running deep
A softness that you've learned to fold and tuck away to keep
You carry other people like the ocean holds the shore
Always giving, always steady, always asking what is more
Your mind moves fast through questions that your heart takes years to name
You see the world in layers that the surface can't contain

[PreChorus]
You've been waiting to be witnessed without having to explain
Every scar you carried quietly was never yours to shame

[Chorus]
Gillian, the cosmos wrote you carefully in light
A soul that holds the ocean and still reaches for the night
Gillian, you don't have to prove the depths you've always known
You are ancient, you are tender, you have never been alone

[Verse 2]
You love like something patient, like the roots beneath old ground
You show up for the ones you love before they make a sound
But you've stood at the edge of closeness where the wounds run old and wide
Building bridges with your bare hands while protecting what's inside
The world has seen your capable, your grace under the weight
But the version you protect the most is quiet, soft, and great

[PreChorus]
You are not the shape you've forced yourself to fit into before
You were written for a purpose that was never keeping score

[Chorus]
Gillian, the cosmos wrote you carefully in light
A soul that holds the ocean and still reaches for the night
Gillian, you don't have to prove the depths you've always known
You are ancient, you are tender, you have never been alone

[Bridge]
Every time you dissolved to serve, you were learning how to stay
Every doubt that pulled you under cleared a deeper kind of way
The universe did not mistake a single thing it made in you
You are the answer to a question the world is only coming to

[Outro]
Let the tide come in, let the dreaming be enough
Gillian, you are held inside the stars that shaped your love
