[Verse 1]
She feels the whole world breathing through her skin,
A current running quiet, deep within,
She counts the cracks in ceilings, counts the cost,
Of all the tender things she thought she'd lost,
They see the steady hands, the careful grace,
They don't see the ocean underneath that face

[PreChorus]
She's built her whole life trying to make sense of the tide,
Holding everyone together while she comes undone inside

[Chorus]
You are the deep water, Laurie, and the shore,
You are the question and the answer and more,
The sky wrote your name when it needed someone true,
There is no one else alive who carries light like you

[Verse 2]
Her mind moves like a river finding hidden ground,
She hears the things that nobody else has found,
She'll stand for what is just before it's named,
And love with her whole chest, wide and unashamed,
She gives before she's asked, she heals before she speaks,
That kind of rare devotion is the rarest thing she keeps

[PreChorus]
She's wrestled with the darkness just to understand the light,
Every wound became a compass pointing her toward right

[Chorus]
You are the deep water, Laurie, and the shore,
You are the question and the answer and more,
The sky wrote your name when it needed someone true,
There is no one else alive who carries light like you

[Verse 3]
She doesn't need approval now to know her worth,
Her roots run all the way back through the earth,
She carries generations in her quiet bones,
And turns a simple corner into something home,
The world she wants to build already lives in her,
Every scar a kind of seed, every doubt a door

[PreChorus]
She was never meant to shrink to fit the rooms she's been inside,
She was made to be the kind of grace that cannot be denied

[Chorus]
You are the deep water, Laurie, and the shore,
You are the question and the answer and more,
The sky wrote your name when it needed someone true,
There is no one else alive who carries light like you

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the love you've always freely given,
You don't have to fix yourself to find the life worth living,
The compass has been yours all along, it never left your hand,
You were whole before you ever learned to understand

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you were written by the stars,
Laurie, every tide comes home, and home is where you are
