[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the surface that you've learned to hold
A depth you rarely show them, soft as silver, strong as gold
You carry everyone's weather like it's written in your hands
And still you stand so graceful where the ordinary stands
They see the calm, the kindness, the composure that you wear
They don't see all the oceans you've been quietly keeping there

[PreChorus]
But the moon knows what the daylight doesn't say
That still water runs the deepest anyway

[Chorus]
Jocelyn, you were written in the waves and the wild
Every scar a sacred story, every wound has been filed
Into something close to wisdom, something ancient and true
Jocelyn, the cosmos built no one quite like you

[Verse 2]
You love like it could cost you and you give it anyway
Grand in all your gestures, fiercely loyal come what may
You light up when you're wanted, when the warmth comes back your way
But you've learned to dim the longing when the silence starts to weigh
There's a hunger to be truly seen beneath the grace you give
Not just loved for what you offer, but for every way you live

[PreChorus]
And the ache of feeling unseen is real, it's true
But it grew you into someone that the world needs more of too

[Chorus]
Jocelyn, you were written in the waves and the wild
Every scar a sacred story, every wound has been filed
Into something close to wisdom, something ancient and true
Jocelyn, the cosmos built no one quite like you

[Verse 3]
You've spent years trying to earn it, the belonging and the rest
Always giving more than asked for, always quieting your chest
There's a mind in you that tunnels through the layers and the dark
That refuses any surface when it's hunting for the heart
That's not overthinking, love, that's just how diamonds form
In the pressure of the questions that you've carried through the storm

[PreChorus]
You don't have to solve the whole world to deserve a place in it
You were always whole enough, before you even knew it

[Chorus]
Jocelyn, you were written in the waves and the wild
Every scar a sacred story, every wound has been filed
Into something close to wisdom, something ancient and true
Jocelyn, the cosmos built no one quite like you

[Verse 4]
There's a calling at the edge of you that's wider than the road
A compass pointing forward through the questions and unknown
You are someone who reforms things not by burning but by building
Who rebuilds what has broken into something more fulfilling
The world you've always dreamed of isn't somewhere far from here
It lives inside the choices that you make when no one's near

[PreChorus]
You are guided in the spaces that you cannot always see
You are held by something ancient, you were always meant to be

[Chorus]
Jocelyn, you were written in the waves and the wild
Every scar a sacred story, every wound has been filed
Into something close to wisdom, something ancient and true
Jocelyn, the cosmos built no one quite like you

[Bridge]
You don't need to be unbroken to be worthy of the light
You don't need to keep on proving you've been doing it all right
The stars wrote you with intention, every edge, every seam
You are more than you've been showing, you are more than you've believed

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing that you've always been enough
The tide will keep returning, and so will you, beloved
