[Verse 1]
There's a fire in you that learned to keep its distance,
A warmth that shines but guards its own existence,
You read the room before you've crossed the threshold,
You carry more than anyone has been told,
They see the confidence, the calm, the steady glow,
They don't see the ocean churning down below.

[PreChorus]
You've loved so hard in silence, given more than you received,
And still you showed up whole for everyone who needed to believe.

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the shore and the turning,
The depth and the flame and the quiet burning,
Every scar you carry is a map, not a wound,
You are ancient light, you were written in the moon.

[Verse 2]
You notice everything the careless eye passes by,
The word behind the word, the truth beneath the lie,
Your mind is a cathedral, every corner swept clean,
You feel the weight of worlds in the spaces between,
And when you pour yourself into the work, into the care,
That isn't just devotion — that's a rare and sacred rare.

[PreChorus]
You've stood at the edge of yourself more than once and held the line,
What looked like hesitation was a soul refining over time.

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the shore and the turning,
The depth and the flame and the quiet burning,
Every scar you carry is a map, not a wound,
You are ancient light, you were written in the moon.

[Verse 3]
You love like something older than the language of love,
Like a contract signed before the stars knew what they were made of,
You want what's real — the unflinching, unfiltered kind,
Not the version edited for someone else's peace of mind,
And when they couldn't hold the depths you brought to the table,
That was never your fault — you were always more than able.

[PreChorus]
The world needs what you carry but you've kept it under lock and key,
A Cancer moon is waking now — it's come to set that tenderness free.

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the shore and the turning,
The depth and the flame and the quiet burning,
Every scar you carry is a map, not a wound,
You are ancient light, you were written in the moon.

[Verse 4]
You were built for transformation, not for standing still,
You've walked through chambers no one else would have the will,
And somewhere in the rubble of the versions you've outgrown,
You found a self more sovereign than the ones that you were shown,
You don't need to prove the worth that runs beneath your skin,
The cosmos wrote you carefully — it's time to let them in.

[PreChorus]
Stop asking if you're too much — you were always just exactly right,
You are not here to dim yourself, you are here to be the light.

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the shore and the turning,
The depth and the flame and the quiet burning,
Every scar you carry is a map, not a wound,
You are ancient light, you were written in the moon.

[Bridge]
Let it open, let it soften, let the old walls find their rest,
What was buried in the deep end is the truest of your best,
You were always held by something wider than your fear,
The sky has known your name since long before you arrived here.

[Outro]
You are the tide and the turning and the flame,
The universe was careful when it made you — nothing's left to prove or claim,
Rest now in the knowing you were never incomplete,
You were always, only, wholly — your own kind of complete.
