[Verse 1]
You carry the tide inside your chest where no one sees,
A Cancer soul that bends like water through the trees,
You feel the room before you enter, read the air,
You give so much of what you need but call it care,
The world sees steady hands and thinks you're made of stone,
But only you know how deep those waters go alone

[PreChorus]
You've shaped yourself around the ones you love the most,
And somewhere in that giving, lost a little of your coast

[Chorus]
Mary Beth, you are the ocean and the shore,
You are the keeper and the door,
You were written by the moon in careful light,
You are enough, you are enough, you're doing right

[Verse 2]
You've earned your confidence the hardest way there is,
Through rooms that didn't see you and the weight of all of this,
There's fire in your quiet and a will behind your calm,
A restless, bright originality that rings like psalm,
You walked the unconventional and called it your own road,
You broke what didn't fit you down and carried what you chose

[PreChorus]
You've worked so long to prove a worth that never needed proof,
The evidence was always there, just look at what you've moved

[Chorus]
Mary Beth, you are the ocean and the shore,
You are the keeper and the door,
You were written by the moon in careful light,
You are enough, you are enough, you're doing right

[Verse 3]
You love like something ancient, like a conversation held,
You give the ones beside you something words have never spelled,
You long for depth in union, for a bond that truly stays,
You've learned to guard your heart some through the harder days,
But love was never meant to cost you every tender part,
The right ones know the privilege of your open heart

[PreChorus]
The world ahead still needs the things that only you can bring,
There's purpose in your gentleness, a resonance, a ring

[Chorus]
Mary Beth, you are the ocean and the shore,
You are the keeper and the door,
You were written by the moon in careful light,
You are enough, you are enough, you're doing right

[Bridge]
The universe laid down your bones with something rare and true,
Every wound became a lantern lighting others through,
You don't have to hold it all or prove you have the right,
You were always someone's answered prayer, already burning bright

[Outro]
So rest here in the knowing that you're held by something wide,
Mary Beth, the tide comes home, and you're the reason for the tide
