[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the calm you show the world,
Tides that no one else has seen, a depth that won't be heard,
You feel everything at once and hold it like a secret kept,
A heart so full of knowing it has barely ever slept,
You've built a life worth looking up to, steady in the light,
But the truest version of you lives in the in-between of night,

[PreChorus]
They see the grace, they don't see the weight you carry home,
They see the warmth, they don't see how long you've stood alone,

[Chorus]
But Laurel, you are more than what you've had to hold,
You are the tide, the turning, and the untold,
Every current running through you carved you deep and true,
The whole sky wrote itself around someone just like you,

[Verse 2]
You love the way the sea loves shore — without condition, without end,
Giving warmth before it's asked for, tending wounds before they mend,
You read the room before you enter, feel the weight before it falls,
You'd rather carry someone else's storm than leave them to the squalls,
But somewhere in the giving you've been waiting to be found,
To be the one who's held for once, not just the solid ground,

[PreChorus]
The heart that pours the most is often poured for last,
But all that depth inside you is your future, not your past,

[Chorus]
Oh Laurel, you are more than what you've had to hold,
You are the tide, the turning, and the untold,
Every current running through you carved you deep and true,
The whole sky wrote itself around someone just like you,

[Verse 3]
There's a fire in you that doesn't ask for anyone's permission,
A quiet revolution burning underneath the surface tension,
You've walked the road less certain with a dignity that shines,
Rewriting what was handed down between your family lines,
The wounds that came from early on became the very tools,
You used to build a shelter out of everything that broke the rules,

[PreChorus]
What felt like loss was learning, what felt like lack was light,
You were never being broken — you were building something right,

[Chorus]
Sweet Laurel, you are more than what you've had to hold,
You are the tide, the turning, and the untold,
Every current running through you carved you deep and true,
The whole sky wrote itself around someone just like you,

[Verse 4]
The sun is stepping into Leo and the season starts to burn,
A golden door is opening for everything you've earned,
Not the kind that asks you to perform or shrink or shine on cue,
But the recognition long deserved — the world reflecting you,
Your voice was always worth the air, your presence worth the room,
You were never meant to orbit light — you were always meant to bloom,

[PreChorus]
The stars have kept your story safe across a thousand turns,
Now the sky confirms what you already know but rarely trust you've earned,

[Bridge]
You don't need to be louder to be real,
You don't need to bleed to prove you feel,
Everything you are is more than enough,
The moon always knew you were made of this stuff,

[Outro]
Laurel, rest inside the knowing now,
The tide comes home — it always knows how,
You were written in the sky before your name,
And nothing in the world can make you less than what you came,
