[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the calm you wear
A tide that pulls at everything you hold most dear
You feel the world before it speaks a word to you
A heart that carries more than anyone else knew
You show up soft, but there's a current running deep
The kind of feeling only you have learned to keep

[PreChorus]
You've poured yourself into the lives of everyone around
But who has ever stopped to ask what makes your heart pound

[Chorus]
Goldye, you are written in the deep and ancient tide
Every storm you've weathered left a lantern on inside
Goldye, all the tenderness you've held without a name
Is the very thing that sets the whole wide world aflame

[Verse 2]
You think in rivers, always circling back to feel
You hold a memory like a wound that's meant to heal
Your words are quiet lightning, graceful in their reach
You've always known the things that language cannot teach
And when you love, you love the way the shoreline loves the rain
Not because it's easy, but because it eases pain

[PreChorus]
You've built the home for everyone except the one inside
There's a room that's been left waiting, with the windows open wide

[Chorus]
Goldye, you are written in the deep and ancient tide
Every storm you've weathered left a lantern on inside
Goldye, all the tenderness you've held without a name
Is the very thing that sets the whole wide world aflame

[Verse 3]
You've hidden all the places where your edges crack and fray
The inner fire that moves you before reason finds a way
There's a spark behind your stillness that the world has never caught
A wild and restless searching woven into every thought
You've tried to make yourself small enough to not take up too much room
But you were always meant to rise and let yourself bloom

[PreChorus]
The work you've done in silence, oh it matters more than you've been told
You carry something rare and bright, the kind that doesn't dim with cold

[Chorus]
Goldye, you are written in the deep and ancient tide
Every storm you've weathered left a lantern on inside
Goldye, all the tenderness you've held without a name
Is the very thing that sets the whole wide world aflame

[Verse 4]
You've questioned if your presence counts, if what you give is real
If the ones you open up your heart to know the depth you feel
But you were mapped before you breathed, each thread of you designed
The cosmos wrote you carefully with something hard to find
You don't have to prove the worth of what you carry and you hold
You were always more than enough, exactly as you go

[PreChorus]
The light is shifting now and something new is breaking through
Leo season rises and it rises just for you

[Bridge]
Let the warmth of what is coming find the marrow of your bones
You were never lost, you were just learning your way home
Everything you are is needed, everything you feel is true
The stars did not make anyone quite like they made you

[Outro]
Rest in this, let it be enough to breathe and stay
Goldye, you were always meant to take up space this way
The tide comes in, the tide comes in, and it comes home to you
You are held, you are whole, and every part of you comes through
