[Verse 1]
She was born with the ocean already inside her chest,
A tide that learned to stay quiet while she gave away the rest,
She lit the rooms she walked through without knowing that she shone,
Kept the warmth on for everyone and came home alone

[Pre-Chorus]
But somewhere underneath the surface, underneath the giving,
There's a voice that's been composing all the life she hasn't lived yet

[Chorus]
Go on, Barb, let the tide come in,
The fire you've been carrying was always meant to begin,
Every song you swallowed whole is yours to finally spend —
Barb, the ocean floor has treasure, and it rises in the end

[Verse 2]
She thinks in feeling first, then finds the words much later,
Her deepest truths have lived so long in the rooms nobody enters,
She held the emotional weather of every space she touched,
Loved by staying, loved by showing — never asked for much,
But the fire in her belly wasn't built to burn for show —
It was built to be the thing that lights the path before she goes

[Pre-Chorus]
She's been writing in the silence, in the place nobody sees,
Now the words are asking permission to be free

[Chorus 2]
Step into it, Barb — the voice that's been waiting,
The one who felt the world so deep has something worth creating,
Every quiet year of tending had a song inside its seam —
Barb, the north wind's calling Leo, and it's time to let it sing

[Verse 3]
She carries words that hold a weight she hasn't fully claimed,
A precision in her speaking that could set a room aflame,
She's walked between devotion and the life she'd call her own,
Between the spiritual longing and the seeds she hasn't sown,
There's a wound she carries gently about where she belongs —
But the healing always finds her in the making of the songs

[Pre-Chorus]
She came to scatter wisdom — it was written in her bones,
The teacher finds her students when she finally comes home

[Chorus 3]
Run with it, Barb — the light that's yours to own,
The creative soul that's lived inside the dark is fully grown,
The masterpiece was never lost, just waiting to be signed —
Barb, the star you were born under never stopped trying to shine

[Bridge]
She walked through rooms where no one named the gift she carried,
Felt the weight of other worlds, the ones she thought she'd married,
But the worth was always hers —
It lived beneath the doubt,
A Lilith light in Leo
That was never quite put out

[Outro]
Barb, the tide is finally turning now,
The voice inside the silence finally found its sound,
The brush is in your hand,
The north star says begin —
This is the soul you came here with,
And you're finally letting it in
