[Verse 1]
There's a mind that moves like water, clear and fast,
Sorting through the details, making order last,
You notice what the others walk right past,
Every word you choose is weighed before it's cast,
Beneath the careful surface runs a current wide,
All that turbulent feeling kept so deep inside

[PreChorus]
You've learned to trust the logic more than what you feel,
But the ocean underneath you is completely real

[Chorus]
Denise, you are the calm and you're the tide,
You are the depth that no one else can find,
Written in the language of the night sky,
More than enough, exactly right, exactly right

[Verse 2]
You love in quiet gestures, in the things you do,
Showing up before they've asked, that's so like you,
You've built your worth in service, in the steady giving,
Forgotten that your presence alone is worth living,
You guard the door to trust like something rare and old,
But when you let them in, you love like hammered gold

[PreChorus]
You've carried other people's weight as if it's yours to keep,
The roots you've grown through all of it run fathoms deep

[Chorus]
Denise, you are the calm and you're the tide,
You are the depth that no one else can find,
Written in the language of the night sky,
More than enough, exactly right, exactly right

[Verse 3]
There's a hunger for the meaning underneath it all,
A fire that goes searching every time you hear the call,
You've questioned every answer, walked away and then returned,
Every wound became a lantern, every lesson something earned,
The world you've tried to make sense of has been cracked and wide,
But you were always whole enough to hold both dark and light

[PreChorus]
The new moon pulls the tide in you toward open ground,
An awakening already turning, homeward bound

[Chorus]
Denise, you are the calm and you're the tide,
You are the depth that no one else can find,
Written in the language of the night sky,
More than enough, exactly right, exactly right

[Bridge]
The stars mapped out your edges long before you had a name,
Every question you've been carrying was always part of the flame,
You don't have to earn the right to rest inside your skin,
The compass always pointed home, and home has always been within

[Outro]
Let the new moon find you open, let it find you still,
You were written in the heavens with extraordinary skill
