[Verse 1]
There's a tide that moves beneath the still of what they see,
A mind like open water, asking what things ought to be,
You weigh every word before it lands, you feel before you speak,
You carry more than anyone could guess behind that calm mystique,
The scales inside you never rest, you're always searching fair,
A grace they take for granted 'cause you make it look like air,

[PreChorus]
But the balance you keep giving out, you rarely give yourself,
All that beauty on the surface hides an ocean on the shelf,

[Chorus]
Sam, you are the harmony and the hidden undertow,
The moonlight on the water and the depths nobody knows,
You don't have to hold the world together to belong,
Sam, you were written in the stars before you had to be strong,

[Verse 2]
You love in quiet gestures, in the detail and the care,
In the way you read a room before you even know you're there,
You've felt the pull between your heart and everything you think,
You've stood alone inside that gap too afraid to let them in,
But the walls you built were wisdom once, protection for the flame,
And every time you guarded it, the fire stayed the same,

[PreChorus]
The tenderness you carry like a wound is not a flaw,
It's the reason you can reach someone that no one else could draw,

[Chorus]
Sam, you are the harmony and the hidden undertow,
The moonlight on the water and the depths nobody knows,
You don't have to hold the world together to belong,
Sam, you were written in the stars before you had to be strong,

[Verse 3]
There's a compass built inside you pointing somewhere past the noise,
Past the ones who never noticed and the doubt that steals your voice,
You came here with a purpose that your bones already know,
A hunger for the meaningful, a need to watch things grow,
The world won't always see it when you're doing all the work,
But the legacy you're building lives in everything you worth,

[PreChorus]
You are not behind, you are not too much, you are not too late,
Every careful step you've taken has been clearing something great,

[Chorus]
Sam, you are the harmony and the hidden undertow,
The moonlight on the water and the depths nobody knows,
You don't have to hold the world together to belong,
Sam, you were written in the stars before you had to be strong,

[Bridge]
Let the Cancer moon remind you that your softness is your core,
Let the tide come in and find you standing solid at the shore,
You don't have to earn the love that you were always meant to hold,
The cosmos wrote you carefully in deep and lasting gold,

[Outro]
Sam, you are enough in every version that you are,
The universe kept nothing back the night it made your star,
