[Verse 1]
She carries the tide in a place no one sees,
A whole ocean running beneath her still breeze,
She speaks through her heart, every word feels like home,
The most crowded room and she's quietly alone,
She reads every room like a page she has known,
A mind built of memory, poetry, bone

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the pull,
All that tenderness, fierce and full

[Chorus]
Rise up, Denise, let the light find your name,
You were written in something that doesn't have shame,
Every current inside you is proof you are real,
You are more than enough — you are more than you feel

[Verse 2]
She loves like she's keeping a candle alive,
In the wind, in the dark, just to help others thrive,
She notices everything nobody said,
The ones who need saving, the words left unread,
She gives before asking, she stays through the night,
But somewhere she learned she must earn her own light

[PreChorus]
The doubt was a debt that was never her own,
She's been strong long enough to come home

[Chorus]
Rise up, Denise, let the light find your name,
You were written in something that doesn't have shame,
Every current inside you is proof you are real,
You are more than enough — you are more than you feel

[Verse 3]
There's a restlessness burning behind her composed,
A hunger for meaning she's never disclosed,
She questions the maps and rewrites what she finds,
One foot in the mystery, one in the vines,
She's searching for something that lives past the page,
A truth she can hold at the end of the stage

[PreChorus]
The wandering wasn't a wound, it was worth,
It was tracing the outline of her place on this earth

[Chorus]
Rise up, Denise, let the light find your name,
You were written in something that doesn't have shame,
Every current inside you is proof you are real,
You are more than enough — you are more than you feel

[Verse 4]
The summer is turning and calling her near,
A season that mirrors the gold she holds here,
She's built something slow from the rubble of doubt,
A life made of staying when others walked out,
The world she imagined is starting to breathe,
And it looks like the person she always could be

[PreChorus]
The sky didn't write her in pencil or sand,
Every part of her story was perfectly planned

[Bridge]
She doesn't need to prove it, it was always true,
The cosmos kept a place that only she could fill,
She is held by something ancient, steady, still,
And the light coming is the light she always knew

[Outro]
Rise up and rest, you have carried enough,
The tide knows the shore, and the shore knows your love,
Denise, you are home in the sky and the sea,
You were always, already, exactly set free
