[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside you no one ever sees,
A house built on memory, a heart like the deep freeze,
You hold the whole world gently in your hands,
While quietly rebuilding on your own shifting sands,
You think in feelings, long before you think in words,
And the truest things you carry go mostly unheard

[PreChorus]
But the depth in you is not a flaw, it's a foundation,
Every wave you've weathered built your own constellation

[Chorus]
Mary Karsten, you were written by the tide,
Every current, every quiet, every storm you've survived,
Mary Karsten, the stars laid down your name,
You are not who broke you — you are what you became

[Verse 2]
You've worked so hard for rooms that never clapped,
Given everything you had and drawn the map,
You love like something ancient, wide, and rare,
Like a feast prepared for everyone but never shared,
You wanted to be seen the way you truly are,
Not the surface, not the service — all the way to the scar

[PreChorus]
But every wound you carry became a kind of knowing,
And the ones who feel it deepest are the ones worth showing

[Chorus]
Mary Karsten, you were written by the tide,
Every current, every quiet, every storm you've survived,
Mary Karsten, the stars laid down your name,
You are not who broke you — you are what you became

[Verse 3]
There's a fire in you that moves before the world can catch,
A dreamer who keeps order so that nothing falls through the cracks,
You've rebuilt what didn't hold, you've healed what couldn't bend,
The kind of strength that doesn't shout but shows up in the end,
The season turns and Leo rises warm and wide,
This is your becoming — let it pull you with the tide

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn your place beneath this sky,
The cosmos wrote you carefully — it's time to live that life

[Chorus]
Mary Karsten, you were written by the tide,
Every current, every quiet, every storm you've survived,
Mary Karsten, the stars laid down your name,
You are not who broke you — you are what you became

[Bridge]
You are rooted and you're rising, you are ancient and you're new,
There's a legacy inside you only you were built to move,
Let the light come in without demanding what it costs,
You were never really scattered — you were never really lost

[Outro]
The sky is turning golden, it was always meant for you,
Mary Karsten, you are whole, you are held, you are true
