[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the quiet that nobody gets to see,
A whole ocean holding steady while you pour out endlessly,
You map out every detail, every angle, every crack,
You hold the world together but you rarely get that back,
You've felt it since the beginning, that your worth was theirs to give,
But the depth inside you, darling, is the reason that you live,

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the current running deep,
They see the open arms, they miss the wounds you never speak,

[Chorus]
Kristi, you are more than all the giving that they've known,
You are ancient, you are steady, you are worthy on your own,
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades,
You were made to move like water, finding light through darkened caves,

[Verse 2]
You think in feeling more than words, in memory and in song,
You've always known exactly where you don't and do belong,
The warmth you give is effortless, a fire with open hands,
But somewhere underneath it all, you need someone who understands,
You've built your walls from something real, from love that didn't stay,
And every stone became a doorway to a stronger, truer way,

[PreChorus]
They see the warmth you offer, but they don't see what it cost,
They see you holding everything, not all the times you felt lost,

[Chorus]
Kristi, you are more than all the giving that they've known,
You are ancient, you are steady, you are worthy on your own,
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades,
You were made to move like water, finding light through darkened caves,

[Verse 3]
You love like something rooted, like a thing that doesn't bend,
You give before you're asked to, you stay faithful to the end,
But you've swallowed down your hunger just to keep the table full,
You've mistaken your own softness for a weakness, and it's not,
That loyalty you carry is the rarest thing you've got,
You were never too much feeling, you were always just too true,

[PreChorus]
The questions that have haunted you were never signs of wrong,
They were the compass finding north and turning doubt to song,

[Chorus]
Kristi, you are more than all the giving that they've known,
You are ancient, you are steady, you are worthy on your own,
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades,
You were made to move like water, finding light through darkened caves,

[Verse 4]
There's a call inside you that was placed there long before,
A quiet kind of knowing that you've always been meant for more,
Not more than you already are, but more than you believe,
More than every version of yourself you'd never let them see,
You carry depth like scripture, you were built to understand,
That the world needs what you're holding, and it's time to open hands,

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the right to rest inside your own skin,
The tide was always in you, and the tide was always win,

[Bridge]
Every wound you've carried became wisdom in disguise,
Every time you nearly broke, you learned to recognize,
The strength was never somewhere else, it lived inside your bones,
You were never really lost, you were just finding your way home,

[Chorus]
Kristi, you are more than all the giving that they've known,
You are ancient, you are steady, you are worthy on your own,
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades,
You were made to move like water, finding light through darkened caves,

[Outro]
The stars held you before you knew you needed to be held,
You are not the story others wrote, you're every word yourself,
You are guided, you are rooted, you are finally, fully, free,
You were always, always enough, exactly as you breathe,
