[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that no one gets to see,
A softness wrapped in armor, deep as any sea,
You read the room before you've crossed the door,
And carry everyone's weight like it's what hands are for,
The world sees steady ground, they don't see what it cost,
All the quiet battles won, all the wars you fought when lost

[PreChorus]
But still the moon inside you rises, full and wide,
Every scar just proof of something beautiful inside

[Chorus]
You are ocean, you are ember, you are root and rain,
Written in the sky long before you knew your name,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
You were always meant to be exactly in this place

[Verse 2]
You think before the thunder, feel before the word,
Your mind runs like a current, electric and unstirred,
You love through wit and wonder, through laughter and through light,
But you've held love at arm's length like a candle in the night,
The longing for connection and the need for room to breathe,
Isn't contradiction, it's the truest thing to be

[PreChorus]
The ones who've known you deeply know the fire that you keep,
A warmth that moves like sunlight through the places no one sees

[Chorus]
You are ocean, you are ember, you are root and rain,
Written in the sky long before you knew your name,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
You were always meant to be exactly in this place

[Verse 3]
There's a part of you that questions if your worth is real,
That measures what you offer by how much you help them heal,
But you were not assembled just to hold the pieces up,
You are not the one who pours until the well runs shut,
The courage in your searching is the truest kind of art,
You've always carried home inside the chambers of your heart

[PreChorus]
And now a new tide turns beneath a moonlit Cancer sky,
This is your awakening, this is your time to rise

[Chorus]
You are ocean, you are ember, you are root and rain,
Written in the sky long before you knew your name,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
You were always meant to be exactly in this place

[Bridge]
The cosmos did not write you small or faint or incomplete,
Every wound became the wisdom every stranger longs to meet,
Rest now in the knowing that the universe holds true,
Nothing in these endless skies was made more carefully than you

[Outro]
You are seen, you are whole, you are finally free,
The tide is coming home now, let it be, let it be
