[Verse 1]
There's a tide that runs beneath the still of your smile
A current pulling deep that no one's mapped for a while
You feel every room before you walk through the door
Carrying everyone's weather like it's yours to restore
The world sees the calm, they don't see the undertow
All that ocean inside you, the parts you don't show

[PreChorus]
But that depth isn't a burden, it's the truest thing you own
Every wave that moves through you has carried seeds you've sown

[Chorus]
Sweet Joy, you are the moonlight on the river
The kind of quiet strength that makes the whole world feel it
You don't have to earn your place beneath this sky
Sweet Joy, you were written in the stars, born to shine

[Verse 2]
You've sat with your own silence when the words wouldn't come
Holding all your tenderness when the world left you numb
There's a fire at your edges when you know what is right
A steady, patient burning that can outlast the night
You give before you're asked and love without a map
And every soul you've sheltered always finds their way back

[PreChorus]
What you've carried wasn't weakness, it was wisdom being made
Every scar became a story that no distance could fade

[Chorus]
Sweet Joy, you are the moonlight on the river
The kind of quiet strength that makes the whole world feel it
You don't have to earn your place beneath this sky
Sweet Joy, you were written in the stars, born to shine

[Verse 3]
You've wrestled with your worth in the quiet of the night
Wondering if the work you do will ever feel quite right
But the way you love is ancient, like a deep-rooted tree
Like a prayer that holds the ground for everyone it frees
You were never meant to shrink, never meant to hide
There's a compass pointing home that lives and breathes inside

[PreChorus]
The world needs what you carry, every tender, fearless part
You were made for more than proving what was always in your heart

[Chorus]
Sweet Joy, you are the moonlight on the river
The kind of quiet strength that makes the whole world feel it
You don't have to earn your place beneath this sky
Sweet Joy, you were written in the stars, born to shine

[Bridge]
The universe placed something rare inside your chest
Not to be explained or tested, just to be expressed
You are held by something deeper than you'll ever understand
Sweet Joy, the cosmos shaped you with a careful, loving hand

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing you are whole and you are free
Sweet Joy, you are exactly who this world was meant to see
