[Verse 1]
She carries the ocean beneath a quiet face,
A dreamer who maps the world from her inner space,
She feels what the room holds before words are said,
A thousand unspoken currents run through her head,
They see the stillness, they don't see the tide,
All that sacred wildness living deep inside

[PreChorus]
She's been giving since before she learned to keep,
Pouring out her depths while the world falls asleep

[Chorus]
Alethea, you are the sea and the shore,
Every wave that broke you only opened a door,
Alethea, you were written in light,
The cosmos mapped you carefully, and got you right

[Verse 2]
There's a fire in her that moves before the world can name it,
An original mind too bright for boxes meant to claim it,
She reads the unspoken, the buried, the unseen,
Thinks in shades of meaning others haven't been,
She's chased the bigger picture past the edge of where it ends,
And every wound she's carried quietly became the way she mends

[PreChorus]
She's been building her own shelter, stone by stone,
Learning safe is something she can make her own

[Chorus]
Alethea, you are the sea and the shore,
Every wave that broke you only opened a door,
Alethea, you were written in light,
The cosmos mapped you carefully, and got you right

[Verse 3]
She loves like something ancient with no ceiling and no floor,
Sees the hidden gold in people, gives and then gives more,
There's a place in her that's longed to be received the way she gives,
To rest inside belonging and believe that she deserves to live,
Not just for everyone whose pain she holds at night,
But for the one inside who never asked to fight

[PreChorus]
She defines the world as worthy of her care,
Now let her turn that tenderness and breathe it for herself right there

[Chorus]
Alethea, you are the sea and the shore,
Every wave that broke you only opened a door,
Alethea, you were written in light,
The cosmos mapped you carefully, and got you right

[Verse 4]
There's a quiet kind of power in the way she holds her ground,
The roots that go the deepest rarely make the loudest sound,
She is learning that her purpose isn't proven by her pain,
That the gift she came here carrying deserves to have her name,
Let the world receive the beauty of a heart that dares to stay,
She was never lost, just finding her own way

[PreChorus]
She was made for more than holding others up to light,
She is luminous enough to be her own tonight

[Chorus]
Alethea, you are the sea and the shore,
Every wave that broke you only opened a door,
Alethea, you were written in light,
The cosmos mapped you carefully, and got you right

[Bridge]
Let the tides release what no longer holds you,
You are more than every story that controlled you,
Every scar became a compass, every doubt a door,
You were always, always, always worth the shore

[Outro]
Alethea, rest now in the truth of what you are,
Not a footnote to the world, but its own quiet star,
You are held, you are whole, you are finally home,
You were never, ever, ever meant to be alone
