[Verse 1]
There's a tide that runs beneath the still you show the world,
A mind like open water, and a heart that stays curled,
You speak in careful sentences, but feel in ancient waves,
The things you hold the closest are the ones you never say,
You've carried other people's weight like it was yours to bear,
A quiet kind of knowing lives in everything you share

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they miss the current running deep,
The ocean doesn't stop because the surface looks asleep

[Chorus]
You are more than what you've given and not yet given back,
You are every road you've traveled and the ones you didn't take,
The tide comes in, the tide goes out, and still you hold your ground,
You are whole in every season, you are found

[Verse 2]
You love the way a careful hand tends something small and true,
In every quiet gesture lives the depth of what you do,
You notice what the others miss — a word, a door, a need,
And still you wonder if your love is ever guaranteed,
You've searched for something solid in a world that shifts like sand,
The realest thing you ever touched was what you built by hand

[PreChorus]
You've earned your peace the long way through the fire and the doubt,
And everything you've built inside is what this song is about

[Chorus]
You are more than what you've given and not yet given back,
You are every road you've traveled and the ones you didn't take,
The tide comes in, the tide goes out, and still you hold your ground,
You are whole in every season, you are found

[Verse 3]
There's a freedom that you've longed for living just beneath the rule,
A version of yourself that knows exactly when to move,
You've worn the face of steady when the inside needed room,
You've lit the lamp for everyone and learned to love the dark too soon,
But every wall you've built was just a waiting place to stand,
Until you learned that needing rest is not the same as giving in

[PreChorus]
The wound around your worth was never yours to carry alone,
Every scar became the mortar in the house that you call home

[Chorus]
You are more than what you've given and not yet given back,
You are every road you've traveled and the ones you didn't take,
The tide comes in, the tide goes out, and still you hold your ground,
You are whole in every season, you are found

[Verse 4]
The sky wrote you in water signs and gave you wings to roam,
It built you to go farther while it anchored you to home,
Now something's clearing, like a word that finally lands right,
Like fog that lifts at morning and reveals the full tide,
What you've been trying to say is rising up to meet the air,
The truest version of yourself was always waiting there

[PreChorus]
The stars don't ask permission and they don't explain their light,
And neither should the part of you that knows you've always been right

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the room you take up in this world,
The meaning you've been chasing was inside you all along,
Let the current carry what you've held past its time,
What's clearing now is yours — and it was always meant to shine

[Outro]
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
You are held in something ancient, you are seen through all your days,
Rest now in the knowing — you have always been enough,
You are made of what endures
