[Verse 1]
She carries the ocean beneath a still face,
Feels everything deeply but holds her own grace,
Roots running down where nobody can see,
The warmest of havens, the wildest of seas,
She speaks through her kindness before she speaks words,
A mind full of futures the world hasn't heard

[PreChorus]
She moves like she's gentle but burns like a spark,
There's a fire that lives in the quiet and dark

[Chorus]
Jonica, you are the tide and the flame,
Every scar wrote your story, not your shame,
The stars drew you carefully, line after line,
Jonica, you were written to shine

[Verse 2]
She loves like she means it, she leads from the heart,
Dives headfirst into feelings before thinking to start,
She gives before asking, she holds before told,
There's a tenderness in her more precious than gold,
But she's guarded the parts that got broken before,
Built a room for her wounds and forgot there's a door

[PreChorus]
She's learning her borders are not her defeat,
That needing and giving can both be complete

[Chorus]
Jonica, you are the tide and the flame,
Every scar wrote your story, not your shame,
The stars drew you carefully, line after line,
Jonica, you were written to shine

[Verse 3]
She's restless in places that can't match her soul,
Too alive for the boxes that ask her to fold,
She questions the ceilings and reaches for more,
A visionary standing at yesterday's door,
The world tries to name her but she won't be defined,
There's a universe humming inside of her mind

[PreChorus]
She's not lost in the longing, she's learning to trust,
That the life she was made for is already just

[Chorus]
Jonica, you are the tide and the flame,
Every scar wrote your story, not your shame,
The stars drew you carefully, line after line,
Jonica, you were written to shine

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn what was always your right,
You don't have to shrink to belong in the light,
The cosmos wrote you with intention and care,
You are held, you are whole, you are already there

[Outro]
The tide keeps returning, the flame never dies,
You were mapped by the heavens before your first rise,
Jonica, rest now, you've always been enough,
The stars don't make anything less than love
