[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside you no one ever gets to see,
A current running deeper than they'd dare to believe,
You hold the room together with a quiet, steady hand,
While underneath the surface you're still learning how to stand,
You give before they ask you and you love before it's named,
A heart that keeps on tending every fire that you've claimed,

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they never see the wave,
All that you carry, all the lives you've saved,

[Chorus]
Oh Ashley, you are made of more than what they know,
An ocean full of thunder wrapped in a softer glow,
You don't have to hold the world to prove your worth is real,
Ashley, you are enough in everything you feel,

[Verse 2]
Your mind won't rest until it finds the thread beneath the knot,
You catalogue the chaos just to give it what it's not,
You've swallowed whole the worry and the weight of every flaw,
Mistaking your precision for a wound inside the wall,
But that relentless searching is the compass of your soul,
Every piece you tried to fix was moving you toward whole,

[PreChorus]
They see the mask the mountain made you wear,
They don't see what it cost you just to care,

[Chorus]
Oh Ashley, you are made of more than what they know,
An ocean full of thunder wrapped in a softer glow,
You don't have to hold the world to prove your worth is real,
Ashley, you are enough in everything you feel,

[Verse 3]
You've longed to be heard clearly in a language all your own,
And sometimes what you offered came back silence, came back stone,
That ache to be reflected in the eyes of someone true,
Became the very alchemy that carved the depth in you,
You're learning now that boldness doesn't mean you go alone,
That asking is the bravest kind of courage you've been shown,

[PreChorus]
The stars mapped out a soul both fierce and kind,
The rarest kind of heart and sharpest mind,

[Chorus]
Oh Ashley, you are made of more than what they know,
An ocean full of thunder wrapped in a softer glow,
You don't have to hold the world to prove your worth is real,
Ashley, you are enough in everything you feel,

[Bridge]
What you carry is not burden, it's a light that can't be spent,
Every transformation led you somewhere heaven-sent,
You were written into being with a purpose and a place,
The cosmos doesn't make mistakes, and neither does your grace,

[Outro]
So rest inside the knowing you were always meant to be,
Ashley, you are held by something greater than you see,
The tide will turn, it always does — it turns for you,
