[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the still you show the world,
A tide that pulls at midnight, deep and soft and full,
You feel what others carry before they say a word,
The quiet ones, the broken ones — you've always heard
You built your fortress out of love, not out of fear,
And every room inside it holds the ones you hold most dear

[PreChorus]
But who holds you when the current gets too strong?
Who sees the weight you've carried all along?

[Chorus]
Mattie, you are more than what you give away,
More than the calm you wear to keep the storm at bay,
Written in the deep and in the dark and in the light,
Mattie, you were made for more than holding on so tight

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, wide and unafraid,
Loyal to the bone but needing room to breathe and chase,
Your mind chases horizons no one else can see,
Stories spilling out of you like rivers to the sea,
You've learned to speak with beauty, every word a careful gift,
Every conversation something meant to build and lift

[PreChorus]
You've been the steady ground beneath so many feet,
Now let yourself be held — that wholeness is complete

[Chorus]
Mattie, you are more than what you give away,
More than the calm you wear to keep the storm at bay,
Written in the deep and in the dark and in the light,
Mattie, you were made for more than holding on so tight

[Verse 3]
There's a fire in you that moves before the world can blink,
Courageous in the doing, too proud to show the brink,
You've wrestled with the roots of places, wounds that hid below,
Turned ancestral weight to wisdom, let the old ones go,
You've stared into the shadows and you didn't look away,
That's not destruction, that's the alchemy of braver days

[PreChorus]
The worth they didn't name in you was always there,
No recognition owed you what you already bear

[Chorus]
Mattie, you are more than what you give away,
More than the calm you wear to keep the storm at bay,
Written in the deep and in the dark and in the light,
Mattie, you were made for more than holding on so tight

[Verse 4]
You don't need to be perfect, you don't need to be small,
You don't need to earn your place by giving all,
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
A Scorpio soul and a Cancer heart, a life so bravely made,
You are the healer and the seeker and the light between the lines,
The world needs what you carry — every rare and real design

[PreChorus]
So rest inside the knowing that you've always been enough,
The stars have always seen you, even through the rough

[Chorus]
Mattie, you are more than what you give away,
More than the calm you wear to keep the storm at bay,
Written in the deep and in the dark and in the light,
Mattie, you were made for more than holding on so tight

[Bridge]
Every wound became a window, every storm became a door,
You've been finding your way home to who you were before,
Not who the world decided, not who the silence named,
But every fearless, feeling, luminous part of you, unchained

[Outro]
The tide in you is not a flaw — it's where your power lives,
You are held, you are whole, you are all of this,
Mattie, come home to you
