[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the stillness no one sees,
A dreamer who built order just to breathe,
The world sees warmth, it doesn't see the cost,
All the quiet ways you carry what you've lost,
You feel everything and swallow it like salt,
Then show up steady like it isn't hard at all

[PreChorus]
But the depth in you is not a burden to be tamed,
Every current you've been holding has a name

[Chorus]
You are the ocean learning how to trust the shore,
Ancient in your knowing, always reaching for more,
The softest and the strongest thing the universe could make,
You were written in the stars before you learned to break

[Verse 2]
You love like something lit by its own hand,
You dive in whole before you understand,
And yes, sometimes the fire moves too fast,
But courage dressed as instinct rarely lasts half as long as yours has,
Every heart you've opened, every risk you've taken twice,
That's not recklessness, that's someone who believes in life

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn your place inside the room,
You were born already full, already bloom

[Chorus]
You are the ocean learning how to trust the shore,
Ancient in your knowing, always reaching for more,
The softest and the strongest thing the universe could make,
You were written in the stars before you learned to break

[Verse 3]
There's a part of you that watches from behind the glass,
Keeping count of everything and holding to the past,
You measure what you're worth in what you do and give,
But you were not put here just to earn the right to live,
The work you do so quietly, the care that goes unseen,
That's not just who you are, that's what your love can mean

[PreChorus]
The structure that you built around your heart took grace,
Now let yourself be held inside the space you made

[Chorus]
You are the ocean learning how to trust the shore,
Ancient in your knowing, always reaching for more,
The softest and the strongest thing the universe could make,
You were written in the stars before you learned to break

[Verse 4]
You carry questions like a lantern through the night,
Searching for a truth that feels like home and light,
You've wandered through the edges of what faith could be,
And found that you belong to your own mystery,
The wound that left you seeking is the very thing that frees,
You don't need all the answers just to trust what you believe

[PreChorus]
The cosmos didn't make you lost, it made you wide,
There's a compass pointing inward, let it guide

[Chorus]
You are the ocean learning how to trust the shore,
Ancient in your knowing, always reaching for more,
The softest and the strongest thing the universe could make,
You were written in the stars before you learned to break

[Bridge]
You were never just a season passing through,
Every scar became the map that led you to the true,
Stop apologizing for the size of what you feel,
The world needs what you carry and it's real

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing you've always been enough,
Held by something older than the pain of growing up,
The stars that wrote you carefully don't make mistakes,
You are whole, you are loved, you are awake
