[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the surface no one sees
A heart that holds the whole world while it quietly bleeds
You've mapped the mess of others and you've sorted every storm
You need the world around you clean before you feel at home
But in the silence after midnight, something ancient stirs
An ocean full of knowing that belongs to her

[PreChorus]
They see the grace, they miss the weight you carry
They see the calm, not the current underneath

[Chorus]
Mikaela, you were written in the deep
A soul too vast for shallow water, too alive for sleep
You don't need to earn the love that's always been your own
Mikaela, you were never meant to carry this alone

[Verse 2]
You love like something that the world can't quite explain
Grand in how you give it, though you've loved through so much pain
You've stood at the edge of connection with the door half in your chest
Wanting to be chosen while you've quietly proved the rest
But every wall you've ever built was just a lighthouse in disguise
And the ones worth keeping found their way beneath your skies

[PreChorus]
They see the poise, they miss the transformation
They see the strength, not the fire that forged it clean

[Chorus]
Mikaela, you were written in the deep
A soul too vast for shallow water, too alive for sleep
You don't need to earn the love that's always been your own
Mikaela, you were never meant to carry this alone

[Bridge]
The stars etched purpose in the marrow of your bones
What you carry for the world you never have to hold alone
Your roots go deeper than the pain that tried to keep you small
You were built for something beautiful through every rise and fall

[Outro]
Rest now in the truth the universe already knows
You are held, you are whole, you are enough as you go
The cosmos wrote you carefully, and every word is true
There has never been, and never will be, anyone like you
