[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside you nobody gets to see,
A current running quiet underneath the peace,
You feel the world before the words arrive,
A heart that holds the ocean and still stays alive,
You carry what you love like it's carved in bone,
A fire at the center, even when you feel alone,

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, calm and strong and sure,
They don't see how deep you've had to learn to endure,

[Chorus]
Patricia, you are written in something that lasts,
A soul made of tidewater, built for the vast,
The careful, the tender, the ones who hold on,
You are all of that quietly, fiercely, and strong,

[Verse 2]
You've worked like the ground itself, steady and low,
Planted your worth in the dark so the roots could grow,
You've given your loyalty before you were asked,
Put your own needs in a drawer, kept a smiling mask,
But every hour you spent building someone else's ground,
Was teaching you the kind of strength that never makes a sound,

[PreChorus]
You built more than you know from the rubble you survived,
Every wall you ever raised was proof you stayed alive,

[Chorus]
Patricia, you are written in something that lasts,
A soul made of tidewater, built for the vast,
The careful, the tender, the ones who hold on,
You are all of that quietly, fiercely, and strong,

[Verse 3]
You love like a house that keeps the light on late,
Like something ancient leaning patient at the gate,
You want the real thing, not the version dressed for show,
You need a love that stays when all the easy feelings go,
You've learned to trust in measured steps and earned your ground,
You deserve a love as steady as the one you've found in yourself now,

[PreChorus]
The way you give is a language not everyone speaks,
But the ones who hear it are the ones your whole heart seeks,

[Chorus]
Patricia, you are written in something that lasts,
A soul made of tidewater, built for the vast,
The careful, the tender, the ones who hold on,
You are all of that quietly, fiercely, and strong,

[Verse 4]
There's a healing coming in the way the light bends new,
Something long unspoken finally breaking through,
The world you've been building wasn't built in vain,
Every scar became a lantern in somebody else's rain,
You don't need to earn the right to rest inside your own skin,
You were always enough before the work began,

[PreChorus]
The stars don't make mistakes when they write a soul like yours,
You were shaped for something lasting, not just what the world rewards,

[Chorus]
Patricia, you are written in something that lasts,
A soul made of tidewater, built for the vast,
The careful, the tender, the ones who hold on,
You are all of that quietly, fiercely, and strong,

[Bridge]
The cosmos built you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
Every wound a kind of wisdom, every gift deliberately made,
You don't have to keep on proving what was always, always true,
You are held, you are guided, the universe sees you,

[Outro]
So let the tide come easy now, let the current carry home,
Patricia, you were never meant to carry this alone,
You are enough, you have always been enough,
Written in something that lasts,
