[Verse 1]
You carry the ocean behind your eyes
A tide that runs deeper than anyone tries
The calm on your face is a practiced art
There's a whole weather system inside your heart
You feel everything first before it has words
A language of knowing that lives in the nerves

[PreChorus]
You've poured yourself out in a thousand quiet ways
Still wondering if your worth shows through the haze

[Chorus]
But Patty, you were written in the water and the light
Every current in you moving with a reason and a right
You don't have to earn the love that's always been your own
You are rooted, you are real, you are already home

[Verse 2]
You love like someone tending a flame in the wind
You notice the small things — a kindness, a grin
You remember what others forgot to hold dear
You speak with your hands before words appear
But you've kept the best chapters locked in your chest
Afraid your own story might not be expressed

[PreChorus]
The world that you've carried was never too much
It was always a gift — this depth, this touch

[Chorus]
Oh Patty, you were written in the water and the light
Every current in you moving with a reason and a right
You don't have to earn the love that's always been your own
You are rooted, you are real, you are already home

[Verse 3]
You've wrestled with whether your best was enough
You've built things with tenderness, not just with tough
Your wounds became windows — you learned how to see
The kind of connection most people can't reach
You walk in two worlds and you've learned how to stand
One foot in the tide and one foot on the land

[PreChorus]
The stars didn't make you to shrink or to hide
They mapped out a soul with an infinite tide

[Chorus]
Sweet Patty, you were written in the water and the light
Every current in you moving with a reason and a right
You don't have to earn the love that's always been your own
You are rooted, you are real, you are already home

[Bridge]
The moon that shaped you never asks the sea to be less
Every scar you carry is a compass, not a test
You were made for something steady, something true and wide
There's a whole universe that's always been on your side

[Outro]
So rest in what you are beneath the undertow
You were always worth the love you were afraid to know
Rooted, real, and held — you are already home
