[Verse 1]
You hold the tide behind your eyes where no one gets to go
A whole ocean underneath the surface no one seems to know
You carry everyone like harbor, shelter in a storm
Then fold yourself to something smaller just to keep things warm
They see the calm, they never catch the undertow at night
The way you hold the world together while you hold yourself tight

[PreChorus]
But the weight you bear in silence was never yours to keep
You were built to feel this deeply, not to lose yourself in sleep

[Chorus]
Allison, you are the shore and you are the sea
You are the quiet kind of power that they never see
Allison, every tide you've turned has carved this sacred ground
You are already everything you've been searching to be found

[Verse 2]
You've learned to make yourself useful when you wanted to be loved
To earn the space you were already worthy to be enough
Your mind goes down to where it's dark and brings the lantern low
A thinker who refuses to let hidden things stay so
You speak with fire when you trust yourself, when someone earns the key
And when you do, the room leans in to hear what you can see

[PreChorus]
The walls you built were never weakness, they were how you learned to last
You're moving toward the life you want, not running from your past

[Chorus]
Allison, you are the shore and you are the sea
You are the quiet kind of power that they never see
Allison, every tide you've turned has carved this sacred ground
You are already everything you've been searching to be found

[Verse 3]
You love like something ancient, patient, steady as the earth
You give before you're asked to give and never count your worth
You long for someone rooted, who can hold you without fear
Who doesn't need you to be less so they can feel more clear
And what you offer, God, it's rare — the kind of love that stays
That builds its beauty slowly through the ordinary days

[PreChorus]
You deserve the same devotion that you pour into the world
The same soft place to land at night that you've been someone else's girl

[Chorus]
Allison, you are the shore and you are the sea
You are the quiet kind of power that they never see
Allison, every tide you've turned has carved this sacred ground
You are already everything you've been searching to be found

[Verse 4]
There's a compass in your chest that doesn't answer to the crowd
You've questioned every sky above and every god out loud
That restless hunger isn't emptiness, it's how you grow
A pilgrim of the deeper things that only seekers know
The world will need the bridges only you were born to build
And every open wound you've carried quietly gets filled

[PreChorus]
Leo season lights the sky and something in you stirs awake
This is the year you stop asking for permission you can take

[Chorus]
Allison, you are the shore and you are the sea
You are the quiet kind of power that they never see
Allison, every tide you've turned has carved this sacred ground
You are already everything you've been searching to be found

[Bridge]
The stars wrote you in careful hands, in ink that doesn't fade
A Cancer who has held her moon and not been once afraid
You didn't need to earn your place, you never needed less
You were made for this — the depth, the fire, all of it, yes

[Outro]
So let the tide come in, let the light come through
Allison, this life was always leaning into you
