[Verse 1]
There's a tide in you that nobody names,
A heart full of shelter, a mind full of flames,
You speak through the quiet, you feel through the walls,
You catch everyone else before anyone falls,
The world sees the surface, the stillness, the poise,
But underneath all of it — oceans of noise

[PreChorus]
You've been carrying rivers since before you knew how,
Pouring yourself into every vow

[Chorus]
You are ancient water and a lion's roar,
A curious spirit knocking at every door,
You hold the world gently, you hold yourself last,
But you are the treasure, not only the past

[Verse 2]
You love like a lighthouse on a moonless shore,
You tend to the wounded, then you tend some more,
You've swallowed the silence when the words wouldn't come,
You've built something steady from where you came from,
They never quite see how much courage that takes,
To be soft and unbroken through everything that breaks

[PreChorus]
You've turned every wound into something that glows,
That's the kind of power nobody else knows

[Chorus]
You are ancient water and a lion's roar,
A curious spirit knocking at every door,
You hold the world gently, you hold yourself last,
But you are the treasure, not only the past

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves like lightning, your roots go like stone,
You've learned that the deepest work is done alone,
You've wrestled with legacy, you've questioned your worth,
Dug into the silence to find your own earth,
And somewhere beneath all the fixing and striving,
There's a version of you that is perfectly thriving

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn what was yours all along,
The proof isn't in the work — it's in the song

[Chorus]
You are ancient water and a lion's roar,
A curious spirit knocking at every door,
You hold the world gently, you hold yourself last,
But you are the treasure, not only the past

[Verse 4]
There's a boldness arriving on the edge of your sky,
Something that's waited for the right time to rise,
The kind of becoming that asks you to dare,
To claim all the ground that was already there,
The stars didn't write you a story of small,
They wrote you for depth, for warmth, for it all

[PreChorus]
Let the tide in you finally reach the shore,
You were made for exactly this — nothing less, nothing more

[Chorus]
You are ancient water and a lion's roar,
A curious spirit knocking at every door,
You hold the world gently, you hold yourself last,
But you are the treasure, not only the past

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote your name in careful light,
Your roots hold the dark, your crown holds the bright,
You are the calm and the current and the call,
Enough in your wholeness — enough through it all

[Outro]
Let yourself be held the way you hold others near,
Everything you've carried has been leading you here,
You are guided, you are grounded, you are finally free,
The sky has always known exactly who you'd be
