[Verse 1]
You move like water but you burn like a flame,
A soft exterior that few could ever tame,
Your mind moves faster than your heart can speak,
You lead with fire when you ought to sleep,
The ocean doesn't ask permission to be deep —
And neither do you, though you seldom let them see.

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those currents you've been running deep inside.

[Chorus]
Dorothy, you were written in the deep,
A soul too vast for ordinary sleep,
The stars don't make them like you every age —
You are the ocean and you are the wave.

[Verse 2]
You've loved like something ancient and wide,
Diving headfirst with your whole heart inside,
But somewhere between the giving and the fall,
You built quiet walls and called them standing tall,
You've wondered if your worth would hold the weight —
Every door you earned, you thought came just too late.

[PreChorus]
You've carried so much more than you have shown,
You've been your own foundation, built alone.

[Chorus]
Dorothy, you were written in the deep,
A soul too vast for ordinary sleep,
The stars don't make them like you every age —
You are the ocean and you are the wave.

[Verse 3]
There's a wound you keep beneath the polished seams,
The gap between the life you live and what it means,
You've worked until your hands forgot to rest,
Convinced that love required you at your best,
But every scar you carry tells the truth —
Nothing forged this wisdom more than you.

[PreChorus]
You don't need to be perfect to belong,
The depth you're standing in has been your strength all along.

[Chorus]
Dorothy, you were written in the deep,
A soul too vast for ordinary sleep,
The stars don't make them like you every age —
You are the ocean and you are the wave.

[Verse 4]
A new moon rises over everything you've known,
A tide returning to a place that feels like home,
The universe has kept your place within its plan,
Your becoming was the blueprint all along,
What you carry into this awakening light —
Is not a burden, it's a compass burning bright.

[PreChorus]
This is not an ending, this is not a fall,
This is you arriving, finally, into all.

[Chorus]
Dorothy, you were written in the deep,
A soul too vast for ordinary sleep,
The stars don't make them like you every age —
You are the ocean and you are the wave.

[Bridge]
You are held by something older than your doubt,
The cosmos wrote you carefully throughout,
Let the moon remind you what you've always been —
Enough, before the world could intervene.

[Outro]
Rest now in the truth that you have earned,
Dorothy, you are everything you've learned,
The tide comes home, the deep calls out your name —
You are the ocean, and you are the wave.
