[Verse 1]
She carries the ocean underneath her skin
Soft on the outside, all tidal pull within
She'll give you her shelter before she asks for rest
Put everybody's hurt inside her own chest
There's a quiet kind of courage in the way she holds the line
A whole world running deep beneath a surface that looks fine

[PreChorus]
She's felt the pull between her heart and what her mind knows
A wild free current caught inside a place nobody goes

[Chorus]
Hold on, Renee, the tide always turns back home
You were written in the water and you'll never be alone
Hold on, Renee, every scar you wear is proof
That the deepest kind of strength was always living inside you

[Verse 2]
She loves like an old house with the porch light left on
Tender as a lullaby, steady as a song
She guards her truest feelings like a letter no one's read
But lord the things she carries in the silence left unsaid
She'll fight like a fever for the ones she calls her own
And never let a soul suspect how much she needs a home

[PreChorus]
She's searched for where she belongs in this wide open sky
Her compass pointing toward a truth she couldn't name or deny

[Chorus]
Hold on, Renee, the tide always turns back home
You were written in the water and you'll never be alone
Hold on, Renee, every scar you wear is proof
That the deepest kind of strength was always living inside you

[Verse 3]
She thinks in poetry and moves in mystery
A mind that won't let anything stay ordinary
She's known the kind of dark that changes what you're made of
Come out the other side with even more to give in love
The world keeps trying to define her by the weight she's known
But she was forged from something ancient, something of her own

[PreChorus]
She don't have to earn her place beneath this endless sky
The stars already wrote her name the night she came alive

[Chorus]
Hold on, Renee, the tide always turns back home
You were written in the water and you'll never be alone
Hold on, Renee, every scar you wear is proof
That the deepest kind of strength was always living inside you

[Bridge]
She don't have to be perfect, just present and real
Every wound she's carried was teaching her to feel
The moon knows her name and the river knows her road
She was never lost, just learning how to carry what she's owed

[Outro]
So rest now, Renee, you have always been enough
You were made for this life and this life was made for love
