[Verse 1]
There's a tide in you that nobody sees
Calm on the surface, deep undertow beneath
You carry the weight of everyone's need
Then fold yourself small so that others can breathe
You've mapped every storm before it arrives
An ocean of feeling you keep locked inside

[PreChorus]
But the current knows the way it's always known
And the deepest water never moves alone

[Chorus]
Loreli, you are the shore and the sea
Every scar you carry is part of the beauty
You don't have to earn what was yours from the start
Loreli, there's a whole world living inside your heart

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves quick like light through a prism
Every color at once, every question a vision
You love like a conversation that never grows old
Like a warm open hand and a story untold
You give before you're asked, you feel before you speak
That's not a flaw in you — that's how the rivers reach

[PreChorus]
The roots went deep before the branches grew tall
And everything you've carried made you stand through it all

[Chorus]
Loreli, you are the shore and the sea
Every scar you carry is part of the beauty
You don't have to earn what was yours from the start
Loreli, there's a whole world living inside your heart

[Verse 3]
You've stood at the door of belonging before
Left your hand on the frame but not walked through the door
The communities, the circles that didn't hold right
Weren't worthy of the lantern you were carrying at night
That longing to be known and not need to explain
Is a compass pointing somewhere past the ordinary plain

[PreChorus]
You were never lost, just further on the road
And the truth you carry lightens every load

[Chorus]
Loreli, you are the shore and the sea
Every scar you carry is part of the beauty
You don't have to earn what was yours from the start
Loreli, there's a whole world living inside your heart

[Verse 4]
There's a kind of strength that looks like staying still
That holds the line through seasons, bending but not spilled
You've broken patterns that were never yours to keep
And rebuilt something quieter and honest and deep
The world you're walking toward has always known your name
You were written in the sky before you even came

[PreChorus]
The stars don't ask the moon to shine a different way
And the cosmos carved you carefully to be exactly this

[Bridge]
You are not too much, you were never too wide
What felt like too tender was a gift in disguise
The stillness, the yearning, the fire and the tide
Were always the map — they were always inside

[Chorus]
Loreli, you are the shore and the sea
Every scar you carry is part of the beauty
You don't have to earn what was yours from the start
Loreli, there's a whole world living inside your heart

[Outro]
The tide comes in, and the tide goes free
Loreli, you were always meant to be
Rooted in the earth, held by the sky
Enough, completely, in this one life
