[Verse 1]
She learned to hold it all before she learned to cry
Built a home inside her chest where no one gets inside
Every room has a lock, every window has a view
Of a girl who kept on moving like the hurting wasn't true
She's the one they call on when the ground begins to shake
Never shows the trembling underneath all she makes

[PreChorus]
But the ocean doesn't lie about the depth it holds
And the fire in her bones is not the half of it untold

[Chorus]
Hold on, Tina, you don't have to be the stone
The bravest thing you've done is carry this alone
Hold on, Tina, let the tide come in to stay
You were built for more than just surviving every day

[Verse 2]
She loves like something ancient, like the first arriving rain
Dives in with both hands open, comes back changed again
They see the calm she carries, they don't see what it cost
All those years of tending others while her own needs got lost
She fights for those she shelters like the roots fight for the ground
A quiet revolution never making too much sound

[PreChorus]
But the horizon keeps on calling and the arrow knows its flight
There's a restless, searching something burning steady in her light

[Chorus]
Hold on, Tina, you don't have to be the stone
The bravest thing you've done is carry this alone
Hold on, Tina, let the tide come in to stay
You were built for more than just surviving every day

[Verse 3]
The wounds she wore like armor are the very things that healed
Every loss became a language, every scar became revealed
She comes from tangled roots and rooms that didn't feel like home
But somewhere in the wreckage she found ground to call her own
She's tired, yes, but breathing, and that breathing is enough
The stars wrote her with purpose, wrote her tender, wrote her tough

[PreChorus]
She's not done, she's never done, the ember's still alive
What looks like just surviving is the rarest kind of drive

[Chorus]
Hold on, Tina, you don't have to be the stone
The bravest thing you've done is carry this alone
Hold on, Tina, let the tide come in to stay
You were built for more than just surviving every day

[Bridge]
The cosmos didn't write you just to watch you disappear
Every scar a constellation, every grief a turning year
You don't have to earn the right to finally lay it down
Rest is not surrender, it's the place where you are found

[Outro]
You are tired, you are tender, you are whole
And the sky has always held you, even when you couldn't know
