[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the stillness that nobody gets to see,
A mind that moves through shadows, finding what the surface can't be,
You read the room before you speak, you feel the weight of every word,
You carry oceans quietly, convinced they go unheard,
The world sees calm, composed, put-together, mountain-steady and sure,
But you've mapped the depths of everything, and still you ask — am I enough?

[PreChorus]
You've learned to hold it all together when the walls came crashing through,
But even anchors need a harbor, and that harbor lives in you,

[Chorus]
Cal, you are the tide and the stone,
The fire that moves and the deep undertone,
Built from water and will and a spark that won't fade,
Cal, you were never lost — you were always being made,

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, slow to trust but built to last,
You keep your tenderest hopes close, shielded from a harder past,
Not cold — just careful, like a door that opens inward slow,
And when you let someone inside, they feel it all the way down to bone,
You give before you're asked and carry more than you would ever say,
The ones who've felt your love know it doesn't look away,

[PreChorus]
There's a longing underneath the armor, quiet and achingly true,
That the way you love so deeply is the gift that defines you,

[Chorus]
Cal, you are the tide and the stone,
The fire that moves and the deep undertone,
Built from water and will and a spark that won't fade,
Cal, you were never lost — you were always being made,

[Verse 3]
You've wondered if your voice cuts through or lands the way you mean,
If the version of you speaking is the version that gets seen,
But every word you've offered up has carried more than weight,
A mind that cuts to truth like that was never meant to wait,
Your presence is the kind that shifts a room without a sound,
And the world needs what you carry — stop burying it in the ground,

[PreChorus]
There's a compass sewn into your chest pointing past where you've been,
And the path ahead is calling out to everything you've seen,

[Chorus]
Cal, you are the tide and the stone,
The fire that moves and the deep undertone,
Built from water and will and a spark that won't fade,
Cal, you were never lost — you were always being made,

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to rest or prove what you deserve,
The cosmos wrote you carefully — not one note off the curve,
Every scar became a lantern leading somewhere worth the climb,
You are held, you are whole, and you were right on time,

[Outro]
So let the stars do what they do,
They've always, always been mapping you,
Cal, you are the tide and the stone —
And you have never once been alone,
