[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you rise before the dawn,
A quiet kind of sovereign who was forged to carry on,
You wear your warmth like armor and your laughter like a crown,
But the tide that moves inside you never fully settles down,
You've memorized the needs of every room before you speak,
While the ocean underneath you runs relentless and runs deep

[PreChorus]
They see the light, they miss the weight you hold,
The whole of who you are is more than they've been told

[Chorus]
You are the calm, you are the tide,
The softest war that burns inside,
Every scar a kind of gold,
A story only you could hold

[Verse 2]
You've built your worth on solid ground with bare and careful hands,
But there's an ache that lives below the surface of your plans,
The voice that whispers not enough when everything is still,
A wound that wore the shape of love before you learned your will,
You gave before they asked for it, you stayed when staying cost,
And all that tender loyalty was never truly lost

[PreChorus]
That devotion isn't weakness, it's a depth they rarely find,
A heart that loves like shelter is a one-of-a-kind mind

[Chorus]
You are the calm, you are the tide,
The softest war that burns inside,
Every scar a kind of gold,
A story only you could hold

[Verse 3]
You hunger for the real thing, not the surface and the shine,
You'd rather break through darkness than survive on something fine,
The way you love is ancient, like a current, like a root,
A shelter no one earned yet still you gave it absolute,
But healing doesn't ask you to give everything away,
There's a home inside your own chest and it's yours to finally claim

[PreChorus]
The walls you built were wisdom, not a sentence you must serve,
You are allowed to soften now and take what you deserve

[Chorus]
You are the calm, you are the tide,
The softest war that burns inside,
Every scar a kind of gold,
A story only you could hold

[Verse 4]
Something vast has always known you, written you in light and salt,
Mapped your contradictions and declared there was no fault,
The Leo in you blazes with a dignity and grace,
The Aries in you charges toward a fiercer, freer place,
And when the sky begins to soften as new currents find their way,
Even the stars are learning to reflect your healing days

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the right to rest inside your worth,
You were already holy when they named you at your birth

[Chorus]
You are the calm, you are the tide,
The softest war that burns inside,
Every scar a kind of gold,
A story only you could hold

[Bridge]
Let the old weight sink to the riverbed below,
You were never less than everything you longed to know,
The world keeps all the gifts you thought you gave in vain,
You are not what happened, you are what remained

[Outro]
So rest inside the fullness of the life you've always been,
Held by something older than the places you have seen,
You are guided, you are rooted, you are finally enough,
You were always made of something deep and strong and full of love
