[Verse 1]
She carries the tide in the quiet of her chest,
A softer kind of ocean under all the rest,
The world sees the surface, still and composed,
Never guessing the whole universe she holds,
She thinks in metaphors, she feels in waves,
A mind like open water, a heart built to save.

[PreChorus]
She's been the keeper of everyone's flame,
Learning slowly that her own light deserves the same.

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Alyse in a language of deep water and sky,
A Cancer soul with a wandering Aquarius mind,
She is the stillness and the storm on the same shoreline,
Wholly enough, exactly as designed.

[Verse 2]
She loves like a conversation that lasts through the night,
Something playful in her spirit, something ancient in her light,
She gives before she's asked, she heals before she speaks,
She's built whole worlds for others in the spaces of her weeks,
And somewhere in the giving she forgot to count the cost,
But nothing that she offered was ever truly lost.

[PreChorus]
Every wound she carried became a kind of knowing,
Every closed door left her clearer of where she's going.

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Alyse in a language of deep water and sky,
A Cancer soul with a wandering Aquarius mind,
She is the stillness and the storm on the same shoreline,
Wholly enough, exactly as designed.

[Verse 3]
She moves like water finding cracks in solid stone,
Not always loud about it, not always not alone,
There's a compass in her marrow pointing past the fear,
Toward the life that she was written for before she was here,
The things she's had to carry made her harder and more true,
And the light she learned in darkness is the rarest kind of view.

[PreChorus]
She was never broken, only ever becoming,
And the version she is now was a long time coming.

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Alyse in a language of deep water and sky,
A Cancer soul with a wandering Aquarius mind,
She is the stillness and the storm on the same shoreline,
Wholly enough, exactly as designed.

[Bridge]
She doesn't need to prove what the cosmos already knows,
She is the healing she's been searching for, and it shows,
The universe mapped her with intention and care,
Every scar a signature, every breath a prayer.

[Outro]
Let the tide come in, let the tide go free,
Alyse, you were always exactly who you were meant to be.
