[Verse 1]
She carries the ocean inside her chest,
Tends to everyone else before she rests,
A mind that moves like wind through open doors,
Asking questions the quiet world ignores,
She feels the room before she speaks a word,
The deepest things she holds go long unheard,

[PreChorus]
But there's a fire underneath that still,
A horizon-chasing, unstoppable will,

[Chorus]
Dawn, you are the tide and the shore,
The shelter that others keep coming back for,
Written in light the cosmos won't erase,
Dawn, you were made to take up this space,

[Verse 2]
She loves like something ancient and slow,
Patient as the roots that nobody shows,
Gives before she's asked, gives past the seam,
Holds the ones she loves like a recurring dream,
And when she feels too much, she folds it in,
Calls it weakness where the world calls it medicine,

[PreChorus]
She built her worth with both her hands,
And still she wonders if anyone understands,

[Chorus]
Dawn, you are the tide and the shore,
The shelter that others keep coming back for,
Written in light the cosmos won't erase,
Dawn, you were made to take up this space,

[Verse 3]
She's been the one who held the falling apart,
Who turned ancestral storms into art,
Who questioned every answer, searched every seam,
And walked the line between the real and the dream,
That restlessness inside is not a flaw,
It's a compass meant to lead her somewhere more,

[PreChorus]
She doesn't have to earn the right to stay,
She was always, always meant to take her place,

[Chorus]
Dawn, you are the tide and the shore,
The shelter that others keep coming back for,
Written in light the cosmos won't erase,
Dawn, you were made to take up this space,

[Verse 4]
She doesn't need to fix what isn't broken,
Some of the most sacred things go unspoken,
The world she carries quietly in her hands,
Is richer than it knows, deeper than it plans,
Let the seeking lead her somewhere she can breathe,
Let the giving circle back and come to her as peace,

[PreChorus]
Everything she's been through carved her into this,
Someone rare and real that the universe won't miss,

[Chorus]
Dawn, you are the tide and the shore,
The shelter that others keep coming back for,
Written in light the cosmos won't erase,
Dawn, you were made to take up this space,

[Bridge]
She's the calm that holds when everything breaks,
She's the dawn that rises after sleepless aches,
Not a footnote, not a shadow in the hall,
She's the whole wide sky, she's enough, she's all,

[Outro]
The stars that shaped her knew what they were doing,
Every scar, every search, every quiet renewing,
Dawn, you are already everything you've sought,
You are the light you always thought you weren't,
