[Verse 1]
There's an ocean inside you no one else can see,
Two tides running together, wild and quietly free,
You feel everything first before the world has named it,
A compass built for others, quietly self-contained,
They see the stillness, they don't see the undertow,
The depths you carry gently everywhere you go

[PreChorus]
You've given more than anyone has thought to ask,
And worn composure like a second skin, a mask

[Chorus]
You are the tide and you are the shore,
Ancient and certain and worth so much more,
The sky wrote you carefully, nothing by chance,
You were always enough — you just forgot to glance

[Verse 2]
You love like a promise made before the words arrive,
Slow to open, but when you do, nothing won't survive,
You've held the weight of roots that needed breaking free,
Rebuilt the meaning of belonging on your own terms, patiently,
The wound around your worth was never yours to keep,
What looked like hesitation was just running deep

[PreChorus]
Your mind moves faster than the world gives you room,
A visionary planting seeds inside a borrowed tomb

[Chorus]
You are the tide and you are the shore,
Ancient and certain and worth so much more,
The sky wrote you carefully, nothing by chance,
You were always enough — you just forgot to glance

[Verse 3]
There's a fire in you that moves before the asking's done,
Hidden in the quiet hours, burning soft as a winter sun,
You've served without needing anyone to see,
Built cathedrals out of care, given them away for free,
Now healing's coming in like light through a closing seam,
It's time to let what you carry finally become your dream

[PreChorus]
The path was never lost, it only turned within,
Everything you need to find has always lived in your skin

[Chorus]
You are the tide and you are the shore,
Ancient and certain and worth so much more,
The sky wrote you carefully, nothing by chance,
You were always enough — you just forgot to glance

[Bridge]
Let the water rise and wash the old weight clean,
You were built for more than holding what has been,
The stars aligned their quiet work the day that you were born,
Every scar a doorway, not a wound to mourn

[Outro]
You are the tide and you are the shore,
Go gently now — you don't have to prove anymore,
The cosmos holds your name in something that won't fade,
You were always the light, not just the light you made
