[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the calm you show the world,
Tides that pull you under like a flag that won't unfurl,
You speak in feelings first before the logic finds its place,
A memory collector with a home inside your face,
They see the steady surface, not the current running deep,
You hold the ones you love like something precious while they sleep

[PreChorus]
You fight for everyone but leave your own name off the list,
There's so much of you the world has somehow always missed

[Chorus]
You are the tide, you are the turning of the stone,
You are the fire that protects the ones you call your own,
You carry more than most would dare to hold without a sound,
You are not too much, you are the whole of hallowed ground

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient that doesn't need a name,
Grand and generous and burning like a slow, devoted flame,
You crave a love that feels like somewhere you can finally land,
Someone who meets your depth and doesn't flinch to take your hand,
But you've been quietly shrinking in the spaces meant for you,
Afraid that what you carry might be more than love can hold you through

[PreChorus]
The truth is you were written wide enough to hold it all,
And every time you've broken, you've grown taller from the fall

[Chorus]
You are the tide, you are the turning of the stone,
You are the fire that protects the ones you call your own,
You carry more than most would dare to hold without a sound,
You are not too much, you are the whole of hallowed ground

[Verse 3]
A mind that reads the room before a word is ever said,
A dreamer made of discipline who walks where angels tread,
You've wrestled with the silence of a voice afraid to speak,
But every word you've swallowed was the bridge someone else needs,
The sky has always known your name written in its oldest ink,
You were never lost, just standing longer at the brink

[PreChorus]
The world is not too big for what you carry in your chest,
You were never meant to earn your worth, you were already blessed

[Chorus]
You are the tide, you are the turning of the stone,
You are the fire that protects the ones you call your own,
You carry more than most would dare to hold without a sound,
You are not too much, you are the whole of hallowed ground

[Bridge]
Let the roots go deeper, let the wide horizon hold,
What feels like wandering is just the making of your soul,
The grace you give so freely, learn to give it back to you,
You are the thing you've always been, returning, whole and true

[Outro]
The moon has marked your rootedness, the stars have marked your way,
You were made for something lasting, and it finds you every day,
Rest now in the knowing, you have always been enough,
You are loved in ways the light can barely carry up
