[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface, but the depths are running wide,
A mind that reads the room before you've even stepped inside,
You carry other people's storms like they belong to you,
And quietly rebuild yourself when no one has a clue,
You've mapped the hidden corridors that most refuse to face,
And turned each shadow into something steady, something grace

[PreChorus]
They see the warmth, the open arms, the light you give away,
But not the work it takes to meet yourself at end of day

[Chorus]
Ann, you are the tide that moves beneath the still,
You are the quiet fire burning steady on the hill,
Every depth you've fallen through has made you who you are,
Ann, you were written carefully, like a November star

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, wide, and hungry for the true,
You need the ones who give you room to be the whole of you,
Not a love that shrinks the horizon or clips the restless sky,
But one that lights the path ahead and doesn't question why,
You've second-guessed your heart before, you've wavered on the edge,
But every time you chose to trust, you kept your sacred pledge

[PreChorus]
The world has felt your absence when you've hidden what you know,
There is a gift in how you see — it's time to let it show

[Chorus]
Ann, you are the tide that moves beneath the still,
You are the quiet fire burning steady on the hill,
Every depth you've fallen through has made you who you are,
Ann, you were written carefully, like a November star

[Verse 3]
You've carried worth like something borrowed, waiting to return,
As if belonging had conditions you were left to earn,
But everything you've held together, every line you've crossed,
Was never proof of not enough — it was the price of what you've taught,
The ones who call you too intense have never seen the cost,
Of feeling everything this deeply and refusing to be lost

[PreChorus]
You are not too much, not too little, not a work in progress here,
You are already the answer to the questions you most fear

[Chorus]
Ann, you are the tide that moves beneath the still,
You are the quiet fire burning steady on the hill,
Every depth you've fallen through has made you who you are,
Ann, you were written carefully, like a November star

[Bridge]
The cosmos placed its trust in you with something rare to hold,
A soul that heals by telling truths the timid leave untold,
You don't need to earn your place here, you were always meant to stay,
The stars have known your name since long before your very first day

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you were never here by chance,
You are rooted, you are held, you are enough to dance
