[Verse 1]
She moves through the world like the tide through stone,
Carrying oceans the world has never known,
A face that is open, a heart running deep,
And a world beneath the surface she's learned to keep,
They see the stillness, they don't see the pull,
The quiet of a vessel running full

[PreChorus]
But the moon has always known your name,
The earth beneath your feet has felt your flame

[Chorus]
You are the water and the ancient shore,
You are the healer knocking at your own door,
A light that burns in spaces no one sees,
You were written in the roots of every tree

[Verse 2]
She weighs every word before it leaves her lips,
She maps out every kindness, measures every gift,
There's a mind like a river, quick and running clear,
And a voice she has silenced when the doubt draws near,
But every thought she questioned, every truth she held,
Was a compass being fashioned, not a story to be shelved

[PreChorus]
The stars have traced a path beneath your skin,
The wisdom that you doubt is medicine

[Chorus]
You are the water and the ancient shore,
You are the healer knocking at your own door,
A light that burns in spaces no one sees,
You were written in the roots of every tree

[Verse 3]
She loves like something older than the hills,
With a loyalty that lingers, deep and still,
She'll give before she's asked and ask for less,
She'll build her home in everything she blesses,
And the longing for a love that's real and true,
Is just proof of how much love was born in you

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn your right to rest,
You've always carried more than any test

[Chorus]
You are the water and the ancient shore,
You are the healer knocking at your own door,
A light that burns in spaces no one sees,
You were written in the roots of every tree

[Verse 4]
She has walked through rooms that never held her name,
She has tended other fires in the rain,
She has carried wounds as quietly as prayers,
And descended into darkness no one dares,
But every sorrow was a doorway, not a grave,
And the life she builds from now on she can claim

[PreChorus]
The world you carry heavy is your crown,
There's nowhere left to fall, only further down to ground

[Bridge]
Let the tides return you to yourself tonight,
Let the old moon hold you steady in her light,
What you cannot name, the deep earth understands,
You are held in something larger than your hands

[Outro]
You are the water and the ancient shore,
You were always, always worth the world and more,
Rest now, the roots are holding, you are home,
You were never, not for one moment, alone
