[Verse 1]
There's a tide behind the warmth that people see
An ocean underneath that runs too deep to speak
You carry everyone before you carry you
You give the light away and sit alone in blue
The world applauds the gold but misses all the current
The way you hold the room while quietly enduring

[PreChorus]
You've learned to build your worth from what you give away
But the river doesn't ask permission just to flow and stay

[Chorus]
Shauni, you were written by the moon and the fire
Every wall you built is proof of how you've climbed higher
You don't need the world to finally hand you your crown
You were born already whole, not waiting to be found

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, grand, and unafraid
You'll give a thousand times before you ask to be repaid
But underneath the warmth there lives a quiet hunger
To be seen the way you see, to hear your name in wonder
You've swallowed so much silence just to keep the peace
And every scar you carry holds a truth you chose to keep

[PreChorus]
The part they never reached is not a place that's broken
It's the room inside you full of things not yet spoken

[Chorus]
Shauni, you were written by the moon and the fire
Every wall you built is proof of how you've climbed higher
You don't need the world to finally hand you your crown
You were born already whole, not waiting to be found

[Bridge]
You are the map and also the one learning how to read it
The wound inside your worth was always there to help you free it
There's a horizon only you were shaped to walk toward
You carry something rare that no one else can bring to the world

[Outro]
Let the stars hold what you're too tired to carry tonight
You are guided in the dark, you are enough in the light
The cosmos wrote you carefully, and nothing was by chance
Shauni, you were always meant to be exactly this
