[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that nobody gets to see,
A softness like the summer wrapped in complexity,
She reads the room before she's even crossed the door,
Feels everything so deeply, then she asks if she felt more,
The world sees someone steady, calm and sure,
But oceans don't show everything they're holding at their floor

[PreChorus]
She's been carrying the weight of what she can't explain,
But every drop of that water is what keeps her sane

[Chorus]
She is the shore and the storm and the in-between,
The most alive that anyone has ever been,
She doesn't need to prove what she already is,
The universe wrote her carefully, and all of this is hers

[Verse 2]
Her mind moves like a current, fast and full of light,
She finds the words for things that others can't recite,
She loves like something ancient, wide and unafraid,
Grand in how she gives it, loyal in the shade,
She built a home from stories, from the things she's learned,
And every wound she carried is a lantern she has earned

[PreChorus]
She spent so long just proving she deserved a seat,
But she was always worthy of the ground beneath her feet

[Chorus]
She is the shore and the storm and the in-between,
The most alive that anyone has ever been,
She doesn't need to prove what she already is,
The universe wrote her carefully, and all of this is hers

[Verse 3]
She dreams of something bigger than the walls around her past,
A truth she keeps on reaching for, a peace she wants to last,
There's fire in the way she moves when something calls her forward,
A boldness that ignites before her doubts can get a word in,
She's learning that belonging starts with being her own ground,
That the community she's searched for first lives in what she's found

[PreChorus]
The roots ran deep and tangled but they held her all along,
What she thought was breaking her was only making her strong

[Chorus]
She is the shore and the storm and the in-between,
The most alive that anyone has ever been,
She doesn't need to prove what she already is,
The universe wrote her carefully, and all of this is hers

[Bridge]
She is guided by the pull of something older than her fear,
Every scar became a story, every storm made the sky clear,
She can rest now in the knowing she was never incomplete,
She was always the beginning of the world she's here to meet

[Outro]
Let the tide come in, let the moonlight stay,
She was always enough at the start of every day,
The cosmos kept a place for her — she's home
