[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside you nobody gets to see,
A whole ocean running quiet underneath the easy
You feel everything first and ask questions after,
You hold the whole room up while swallowing disaster
They see the warmth you give, they miss the depth below,
The current underneath that only you will ever know

[PreChorus]
You've been building homes for everyone but you,
Pouring out the love you never let come through

[Chorus]
Sandy, you are more than what you carry for the rest,
You were written in the water and the fire in your chest
Sandy, let the stars remind you what has always been true,
The universe spent lifetimes getting perfectly to you

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like lightning chasing every open door,
A hunger for the story hidden just beneath the floor
You speak with careful hands but feel in waves too wide,
You've longed to be heard clearly more than once inside
That ache of being almost understood, almost seen,
Is the proof of everything you mean and everything you've been

[PreChorus]
You've learned to lead with giving when you're running low,
But the bravest thing you'll do is let someone else know

[Chorus]
Sandy, you are more than what you carry for the rest,
You were written in the water and the fire in your chest
Sandy, let the stars remind you what has always been true,
The universe spent lifetimes getting perfectly to you

[Verse 3]
You love like something rooted and ancient and wide,
A shelter that you build from the ache you hold inside
There's a place where your devotion meets the edge of fear,
Where you hold a little tighter when the ones you love draw near
But every scar you carry is a map, not a mistake,
Every wall you ever built was something you can take

[PreChorus]
The healing isn't distant, it's already begun,
You are not what broke you, you're what rose when it was done

[Chorus]
Sandy, you are more than what you carry for the rest,
You were written in the water and the fire in your chest
Sandy, let the stars remind you what has always been true,
The universe spent lifetimes getting perfectly to you

[Bridge]
You don't need to earn the right to take up all your space,
You were never meant to disappear to make room for grace
The world needs what you carry and the light behind your eyes,
You are already enough beneath these wide and open skies

[Outro]
Let your stars decide the direction, let your roots hold you here,
Every piece of who you are is exactly what is dear
Sandy, you were never lost, just finding your own way,
And the tide inside you always knew you'd meet this day
