[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that nobody gets to see,
A quiet ocean running underneath the easy
You feel everything before the room has spoken a word,
Carry everyone's weather like it's yours to absorb
They see the warmth, they don't see the weight you hold,
A heart that wide takes courage, and that kind takes bold

[PreChorus]
But you were built for depth, not for the shallow end,
Every wave that's broken you has shaped you in the bend

[Chorus]
You are the moon on a restless river,
The steady flame inside the winter,
You don't need to prove what you already are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, you're every kind of star

[Verse 2]
You love like a conversation you never want to end,
Something light and something ancient, something honest as a friend
You need the room to roam before you settle in close,
And the ones who understand that, they're the ones you love most
There's a hunger in you searching for the meaning in the miles,
A soul that reads the sky for signs and walks ten thousand miles

[PreChorus]
The longing and the landing, they both live in you,
A heart that seeks the horizon and a home to return to

[Chorus]
You are the moon on a restless river,
The steady flame inside the winter,
You don't need to prove what you already are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, you're every kind of star

[Verse 3]
You've learned to guard your softness like it might be used against you,
Built careful walls around the parts that feeling nearly wrenched through
But everything you've carried that you thought you shouldn't show,
That's the very kind of depth that only rare souls know
You speak with fire when you trust, and that trust is hard to earn,
Every word you've swallowed whole became a lesson you could turn

[PreChorus]
The wound that made you careful is the same wound that made you wise,
There's a kind of quiet power living just behind your eyes

[Chorus]
You are the moon on a restless river,
The steady flame inside the winter,
You don't need to prove what you already are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, you're every kind of star

[Verse 4]
You were made to lead by loving, made to mend what others miss,
To see the broken underneath and offer more than this
You dream of something better for the world and not just you,
That's not naïve, that's holy, and it's finally coming true
There's a compass in your chest that always knows the way back home,
You were never really lost, love, you were growing on your own

[PreChorus]
The world needs what you carry, so don't give those gifts away,
You've earned the right to rest now and to take up all your space

[Chorus]
You are the moon on a restless river,
The steady flame inside the winter,
You don't need to prove what you already are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, you're every kind of star

[Bridge]
You are enough without the armor, enough without the proof,
Enough inside the stillness and the searching for the truth,
The universe has held you from the moment you began,
And every scar, a thread of gold in everything you am

[Outro]
So rest inside the knowing you were written in the light,
Every tide that pulls you under makes you luminous at night,
You are enough, you always were, you always will remain,
Every kind of beautiful, through every kind of rain
