[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the surface that nobody else can see,
A mind that moves like mercury and roots like an old tree,
You carry warmth like shelter, like a door that's always wide,
But the ocean that you're made of — God, the depth you hold inside,
You charm the room so effortlessly, then slip behind the veil,
A light that burns in private while the world just sees the sail

[PreChorus]
They see the calm and never see the current running deep,
You've held so many hearts afloat while yours was yours to keep

[Chorus]
Shannon, you were written by a careful hand,
A home inside a hurricane, a sea inside the land,
Every part of you that hides is still a part that's whole,
You are known, you are held, you were born with a full soul

[Verse 2]
You've tried a thousand ways to make your meaning understood,
Rearranged your words like furniture and smiled like you should,
And when the love inside you sparked, you gave it without guile,
You dove in like it mattered, like it was always worth the while,
There's a place where grief and beauty share the same address,
You've lived there long enough to know that depth is not distress

[PreChorus]
The walls you built were never flaws — they're proof of what survived,
Every time you chose to feel again is how you stayed alive

[Chorus]
Shannon, you were written by a careful hand,
A home inside a hurricane, a sea inside the land,
Every part of you that hides is still a part that's whole,
You are known, you are held, you were born with a full soul

[Verse 3]
The new moon holds its breath tonight the way you sometimes do,
A darkness that is not an end but just a shift in view,
Something in you is awakening that doesn't need a name,
A version of yourself arriving, quietly, not the same,
You are not behind, you are not lost, you're not too much, not less,
You're the kind of rare that takes a lifetime just to fully bless

[PreChorus]
The stars don't make mistakes in what they choose to bring to earth,
And everything you carry now is moving toward its worth

[Chorus]
Shannon, you were written by a careful hand,
A home inside a hurricane, a sea inside the land,
Every part of you that hides is still a part that's whole,
You are known, you are held, you were born with a full soul

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the quiet, you don't have to prove the light,
The world already needs exactly what you are tonight,
Let the moon do what it came to do and open what was sealed,
You were never really broken — you were always being healed

[Outro]
Let the tide come in, let the tide come in,
Shannon, this is where your becoming begins,
You are known, you are held, you are enough as you are,
You were never lost — you were always a star
