[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that no one gets to see
A whole ocean running quiet underneath
The warmth you wear is real, but it's only half the view
There's a universe of feeling they don't know lives in you
You've carried so much gently, in the dark and in the deep
The kind of soul that tends the light while others fall asleep

[PreChorus]
But the stars that wrote you didn't write you small
They mapped you like a sky that holds it all

[Chorus]
You are the calm and the current, the shore and the sea
More than anyone has asked you or allowed you to be
The cosmos drew you carefully with ink that never fades
You were never meant to dim yourself to fit inside their frames

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient that already knows the way
Grand and generous and loyal, you give before they say
But you've ached to be received the way you give it all away
To be celebrated, truly seen, and asked to come and stay
You've swallowed whole the question of whether you're enough
And answered it with effort when the answer lived in love

[PreChorus]
The wound that made you careful is the same that made you wise
There's a quiet kind of courage burning right behind your eyes

[Chorus]
You are the calm and the current, the shore and the sea
More than anyone has asked you or allowed you to be
The cosmos drew you carefully with ink that never fades
You were never meant to dim yourself to fit inside their frames

[Verse 3]
There's a pull toward something larger, toward a meaning yet to name
A philosopher and wanderer who never feels the same
Your mind moves fast as rivers while your heart runs vast and still
And the fire in you rises when the world says that it will
You've worked so hard to matter, but you mattered from the start
There's a compass pointing home and it was always in your heart

[PreChorus]
The world is not too big for what you came here to become
You don't have to earn your place here — you already are the one

[Chorus]
You are the calm and the current, the shore and the sea
More than anyone has asked you or allowed you to be
The cosmos drew you carefully with ink that never fades
You were never meant to dim yourself to fit inside their frames

[Bridge]
Let the tide come in, let the light come through
Every quiet thing you carried is a gift you never knew
The sky above remembers every version you have been
You are whole, you are held, you are finally seen

[Outro]
The stars have always known you, every shadow, every wave
You were never lost — you're exactly where you were made
