[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the steady ground you show,
A tide that pulls at midnight that nobody else will know,
You carry warmth like sunlight filtered through a shell,
Holding everyone's secrets, keeping yours too well,
The world sees someone certain, calm and sure and bright,
But you're a depth of water running quiet through the night

[PreChorus]
You were born to feel it all — that's not a wound, that's a gift,
Every current moving through you is what makes the whole world shift

[Chorus]
You are the calm, you are the tide,
The fire and the stillness held inside,
Ancient and unfolding, rooted and true,
There's a whole universe written into you

[Verse 2]
You speak with something burning, words that land with weight,
A mind that moves like lightning through an open gate,
You love the way a conversation blooms and bends and flies,
And you've learned to keep the deepest things behind your eyes,
But the ones who've earned your stillness know what hides in there,
A loyalty that borders on something like a prayer

[PreChorus]
You've given more than asked of you and asked for less than due,
But the love you keep on offering — it belongs to you too

[Chorus]
You are the calm, you are the tide,
The fire and the stillness held inside,
Ancient and unfolding, rooted and true,
There's a whole universe written into you

[Verse 3]
You've built a life from fragments no one thought would hold,
Pressed frustration into patience, turned your wounds to gold,
There's a healer in your silence and a rebel in your mind,
A hunger for the sacred in the truth you're called to find,
You've stood at every threshold wondering if you're enough,
But the doubt that keeps you honest is itself a kind of love

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn your place here, you were made to belong,
What you've carried as a burden is the chorus of your song

[Chorus]
You are the calm, you are the tide,
The fire and the stillness held inside,
Ancient and unfolding, rooted and true,
There's a whole universe written into you

[Verse 4]
The roots you've grown in quiet are reaching into light,
Every scar a seed you planted in the middle of the night,
You're not behind the schedule that the fearful part believes,
You're exactly where the season asks — like late September leaves,
A healing is arriving like a slow and golden dawn,
What was broken in the winter is what you were built upon

[PreChorus]
Let the tides come in and take what you've been holding for so long,
You were written by the stars themselves — and they don't get things wrong

[Chorus]
You are the calm, you are the tide,
The fire and the stillness held inside,
Ancient and unfolding, rooted and true,
There's a whole universe written into you

[Bridge]
You don't have to shine for them to prove that you are light,
You were born already luminous, already right,
The world needs what you carry in the places no one sees,
Let yourself be held now — by the earth, the stars, the breeze

[Outro]
You are guided, you are grounded, you are held,
A story that was carefully and beautifully spelled,
Rest in what you are — it has always been enough
