[Verse 1]
There's a tide that moves beneath the quiet you show,
A current running deep where most people don't go,
You carry everyone's weather like it's part of your skin,
While the storm you're navigating lives only within,
You were built to nurture, built to hold, built to give,
But there's a fire in your chest that needs room to live,

[PreChorus]
You feel it all before the words arrive,
That restless, tender pulse that keeps you alive,

[Chorus]
Come home to yourself, Jo, you've earned every mile,
The world sees the grace but not the cost of your smile,
You are tidal and blazing and steady and true,
There's no one on this earth quite like you,

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like water through the cracks of a thought,
Connecting the pieces that can't quite be taught,
You've searched distant places for the meaning in things,
Turned over philosophies to see what truth brings,
But the wisdom you've gathered on that long winding road,
Was always already yours — it was never owed,

[PreChorus]
Between the heart that leaps and the mind that waits,
You've learned to stand steady at impossible gates,

[Chorus]
Come home to yourself, Jo, you've earned every mile,
The world sees the grace but not the cost of your smile,
You are tidal and blazing and steady and true,
There's no one on this earth quite like you,

[Verse 3]
You love like a house with the porch light left on,
Like something that lingers long after you're gone,
But you've held so much tightly for fear it would leave,
Worn the armor of calm over all that you grieve,
The walls that you built were not weakness, not shame,
They were shelter you needed while learning your name,

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the love you freely give,
You were worthy before you knew how much you'd live,

[Chorus]
Come home to yourself, Jo, you've earned every mile,
The world sees the grace but not the cost of your smile,
You are tidal and blazing and steady and true,
There's no one on this earth quite like you,

[Verse 4]
The path you've been walking was never the wrong one,
Every turn was a thread in the life you've become,
There's a compass inside you that points to what's real,
Past the noise and the doubt to the things you can feel,
You were written by something that doesn't make mistakes,
Carefully and slowly through the choices it takes,

[PreChorus]
The stars that mapped your sky knew what they were doing,
There's purpose in every place you've been moving through,

[Bridge]
You are not the weight you've carried through the years,
You are not the cost of all those unwitnessed tears,
You are the one who stayed, who chose, who grew,
The whole wide world is richer just for having you,

[Outro]
So rest in the knowing that you are enough,
Jo, you were always more than enough,
