[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that no one sees running,
A current deep beneath the calm you're becoming,
You feel the room before you cross the door,
You carry what the world has asked and still give more,
The quietest ones are often holding the most light,
You've been that kind of quiet — burning out of sight,

[PreChorus]
But there's a fire in the way you rise each day,
A lion's heart that refuses to fade away,

[Chorus]
This is your season, Lori, let the light come in,
Every wall you've built was just a place you've been,
You are the tide, the flame, the open door,
You were never less — you were always more,

[Verse 2]
You love like a conversation that never quite ends,
With wit and warmth and all the ways a heart bends,
You give your care in details others would miss,
In every thoughtful word, in every act like this,
But love has left some doorways cracked and cold,
You've learned to wait for someone worthy of your gold,

[PreChorus]
Still you rise with that precision and that grace,
A force the world is just beginning to embrace,

[Chorus]
This is your season, Lori, let the light come in,
Every wall you've built was just a place you've been,
You are the tide, the flame, the open door,
You were never less — you were always more,

[Verse 3]
The cosmos drew you carefully, line by line,
With something fierce and something tender in the design,
You've walked through depths that asked too much too long,
And turned the weight of all of it into a song,
The world is changed by people who feel this wide,
And you were built for more than keeping it inside,

[PreChorus]
The stars have held your name since the very start,
Leo rising, Cancer soul, and a lion's heart,

[Chorus]
This is your season, Lori, let the light come in,
Every wall you've built was just a place you've been,
You are the tide, the flame, the open door,
You were never less — you were always more,

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to take up space,
You don't have to fix every broken thing you face,
The universe wrote you with deliberate care,
And everything you are — it was always meant to be there,

[Outro]
So step into the light you've long deserved to know,
Lori, you are everything the stars said you would grow,
The tide is turning — let it carry you home,
You were never lost, you were never alone,
