[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the stillness that nobody ever sees,
A current running fathoms down, a depth that rarely speaks,
You carry what you've witnessed like a lantern in your chest,
The weight of every secret has become your quiet crest,
You built your world from roots and bone, from memory and ground,
A home inside your marrow where the lost go to be found,

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, calm and sure,
They don't know everything you've had to endure,

[Chorus]
But every scar has made you something true,
The ocean floor knows what the sky sees too,
You are the depth that steady water keeps,
You are the light that burns in what runs deep,

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like a surgeon's blade through everything that hides,
You read the room before you speak, you study underneath the tides,
And when you love, you love completely, like a season not a day,
You tend the fire in your house and keep the cold at bay,
You've worked for what you're worth a thousand times and still wondered if it's true,
But every careful thing you've built was testament to you,

[PreChorus]
The world received what you quietly gave,
More than it knew, more than it ever named,

[Chorus]
But every scar has made you something true,
The ocean floor knows what the sky sees too,
You are the depth that steady water keeps,
You are the light that burns in what runs deep,

[Verse 3]
You've felt the pull between the life you hold and something farther out,
That restless electric current underneath your settled doubt,
You were never made for shallow ground, though you've learned to stand it well,
The stories most worth hearing are the ones you rarely tell,
And love for you is not a word, it's architecture, art,
A room you build from silence and then hand someone the heart,

[PreChorus]
The universe has known your name since long before your birth,
It wrote you in the oldest ink, it measured what you're worth,

[Chorus]
But every scar has made you something true,
The ocean floor knows what the sky sees too,
You are the depth that steady water keeps,
You are the light that burns in what runs deep,

[Bridge]
You don't need to be anything you haven't always been,
The healing wasn't somewhere else, it lives in where you've been,
The cosmos placed its patience in the marrow of your days,
You were never lost, you were learning all your ways,

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing that the stars have held you whole,
There was never a version of you that was not enough,
You are the tide returning, you are ancient, you are loved,
