[Verse 1]
There's a tide that runs beneath the quiet you show,
A depth of feeling only those held close will know,
You carry what you love like water carries shore,
Giving more than anyone could ever ask you for,
The world sees steady hands and a calm, unhurried face,
But there's an ocean underneath, a tender, boundless space.

[PreChorus]
You've held so much without a word, so long, so true,
And still you showed up, still you gave, that's the proof of you.

[Chorus]
You are rooted like the tide to the moon above,
A daughter sees your whole heart and calls it love,
Everything you built, everything you bore,
She's standing here to tell you she couldn't ask for more.

[Verse 2]
You think in images and feel before you speak,
Your mind runs wide and far, always chasing what words seek,
You've crossed your share of distances both outer and within,
Worn your wisdom quietly like a lantern held from wind,
There were seasons that demanded more than you should hold,
But every burden carried wrote the story of your soul.

[PreChorus]
You learned to be your own foundation, steady ground,
And in the silence you kept whole worlds safe and sound.

[Chorus]
You are rooted like the tide to the moon above,
A daughter sees your whole heart and calls it love,
Everything you built, everything you bore,
She's standing here to tell you she couldn't ask for more.

[Verse 3]
The light in you has always shone through something deep and real,
Not performed for any crowd but for the ones who feel,
You've transformed more than once beneath impossible weight,
And walked back into morning, walked right through the gate,
There are those who never got to say the thing they meant,
So this is every word of love a daughter ever meant.

[PreChorus]
The stars were placed with care the day that you arrived,
And everything you gave to us is why this love survived.

[Chorus]
You are rooted like the tide to the moon above,
A daughter sees your whole heart and calls it love,
Everything you built, everything you bore,
She's standing here to tell you she couldn't ask for more.

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn a thing, you never had to try,
You were enough the day she first looked in your eyes,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
And she would choose you every time through all her numbered days.

[Outro]
So rest inside this song, let every note be true,
From a daughter's heart directly, Papa, this is for you.
