[Verse 1]
She moves like water finding its way through stone,
Feeling everything deeply but carrying it alone,
A dreamer who can read the room before the words are said,
With a poetic mind that speaks the truths most people leave unsaid,
She holds the world together with a quiet, steady hand,
And still she wonders if she's doing enough to understand.

[PreChorus]
But the tide inside her tells a different kind of tale,
A current made of courage that was never meant to fail.

[Chorus]
Ruth, you are the ocean and the shore,
The open sky that always holds room for more,
Every scar you carry is a map of where you've been,
Ruth, the world is richer for the way you love and feel and live.

[Verse 2]
She needs her love to feel like friendship first and fire second,
A bond built on shared vision, every unspoken second,
She gives before she's asked, her heart already on its way,
But she guards her deepest longing like a prayer she's afraid to say,
She's learned to build a home from what was broken at the root,
And grown into a pillar where she once just bore the fruit.

[PreChorus]
The mirror she holds up for everyone she loves,
Has never once reflected all the light she's made of.

[Chorus]
Ruth, you are the ocean and the shore,
The open sky that always holds room for more,
Every scar you carry is a map of where you've been,
Ruth, the world is richer for the way you love and feel and live.

[Verse 3]
She's chased perfection like it owed her something back,
Catalogued every flaw and every crack,
But the same exacting grace she turns on everything in sight,
Has never once been softened for herself at night,
She is enough precisely as she stands today,
The stars wrote her too carefully to waste her light away.

[PreChorus]
A new moon rises slow above the summer tide,
Calling her to claim the life she's carried deep inside.

[Chorus]
Ruth, you are the ocean and the shore,
The open sky that always holds room for more,
Every scar you carry is a map of where you've been,
Ruth, the world is richer for the way you love and feel and live.

[Bridge]
Let the water hold you now, you don't have to hold it all,
The same grace you give so freely is the grace that breaks your fall,
You were written in the long and careful language of the deep,
And everything you are was always yours to keep.

[Outro]
Rest now, Ruth, the cosmos still holds you near,
Everything you've carried brought you here.
