[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you meet the morning light,
A ram that charges forward, bold enough to fight,
But underneath the armor there's an ocean running still,
A quiet, rooted knowing that no force on earth can kill,
You feel before you reason, dream before you act,
And every wave you've weathered leaves your spirit more intact

[PreChorus]
They see the spark, they miss the depth below,
But both the flame and flood are how you grow

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the ember in one,
Ancient and unbroken, rising like the sun,
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that won't erase,
You are already whole, already held, already grace

[Verse 2]
You've carried homes in your chest for the ones you love,
Opened every door and asked for nothing back above,
There's a longing underneath it all to finally be received,
To rest inside connection, to be known and to be believed,
You love like something wordless, wide, and true,
All or nothing, soul to soul — that's what love means to you

[PreChorus]
You've given what you had and what you lacked,
Now let the love you offered find its way back

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the ember in one,
Ancient and unbroken, rising like the sun,
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that won't erase,
You are already whole, already held, already grace

[Verse 3]
You've stood where recognition never came to stay,
Poured your whole integrity into every day,
The ache of being unseen in a world you've served so well,
Is just the weight of gifts too large for language to compel,
But quiet authority grows where approval falls away,
And the world will feel the roots you laid in ways it cannot say

[PreChorus]
You don't need the throne to know your worth is real,
The ground beneath your feet is ground that you can feel

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the ember in one,
Ancient and unbroken, rising like the sun,
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that won't erase,
You are already whole, already held, already grace

[Verse 4]
Now something soft is shifting in the fabric of the sky,
A healing moving closer like a lullaby,
The old wound in your value, in your right to take up space,
Is finally, gently opening to receive its grace,
You don't need to earn the sweetness of a life that's yours,
The stars have always known what you were truly made for

[PreChorus]
Let the light that's coming find no door to close,
You are the garden and you are the one who grows

[Bridge]
Every scar became a story only you could tell,
Every storm you walked through was a deepening well,
You were never broken, only being made more true,
The universe spent lifetimes just arriving here at you

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you were never left behind,
You are the rarest kind of soul — the seeking, open kind,
The stars don't make mistakes, and neither, love, do you
