[Verse 1]
People meet you laughing, quick with every word,
Two thoughts ahead before the first one's even heard.
But underneath the sparkle there's an ocean, wide and slow,
Feeling things for strangers that they'll never even know.
And your heart's a restless rider, always needing somewhere new,
A reason and a horizon, something big enough to be true.
The dreamer and the fighter never quite agree inside —
One wants to soften, one won't let a wrong thing slide.

[Pre-Chorus]
So who ever told you, Sandy, that you had to choose
Between the deep, still water and the lit-up fuse?

[Chorus]
You were born on the edge where one thing ends and one begins,
With a moon already letting go and the sea beneath your skin.
Sandy, you're the water, and the arrow, and the flame —
Nobody's ever carried all three quite the same.
And the sky that watched you open up your eyes that very first day
Has never stopped keeping watch, not once along the way.

[Verse 2]
There was a house that never stayed the same for long,
Where you learned to read the room before you learned the song.
You were quick and you were clever, but too often talked across,
So you swallowed half your sentences and counted up the cost.
Now you work like every room requires a reason you belong,
Like you'd disappear the moment that you stopped being strong.
And that quiet voice inside you, picking every flaw apart —
It was never telling truth, love. It was guarding your heart.

[Pre-Chorus]
But I watched you lose the ground and pour a new one, stone by stone,
And the strength you think you borrowed was entirely your own.

[Chorus]
You were born on the edge where one thing ends and one begins,
With a moon already letting go and the sea beneath your skin.
Sandy, you're the water, and the arrow, and the flame —
Nobody's ever carried all three quite the same.
And the sky that watched you open up your eyes that very first day
Has never stopped keeping watch, not once along the way.

[Verse 3]
You love like a best friend first, and then you love all the way down,
You need a love that's free, but one that chooses to stick around.
You'd fight the world for anyone you've let inside your door,
And you've given people more than they were ever asking for.
You're drawn to someone with some thunder, someone fierce enough to match,
And it's beautiful, and sometimes it's a battle — that's the catch.
But somewhere early, someone taught you love would come with a bill,
So you keep one hand upon the latch — and you're keeping it there still.

[Pre-Chorus]
Picture it: the latch let go, the door left open wide,
And all the love you've given finally walking back inside.

[Chorus]
You were born on the edge where one thing ends and one begins,
With a moon already letting go and the sea beneath your skin.
Sandy, you're the water, and the arrow, and the flame —
Nobody's ever carried all three quite the same.
And the sky that watched you open up your eyes that very first day
Has never stopped keeping watch, not once along the way.

[Verse 4]
You were never built to stand at the back and wait your turn,
You walk in first so those behind you have somewhere to learn.
Haven't you noticed how people always find their way to you,
To make sense of what they're carrying, to hear what's really true?
You turn the hardest chapters into something they can use,
A story with a door in it, a lesson, not a bruise.
The very voice they talked across is the one they're needing now —
The place that hurt the most is where you show the rest of them how.

[Pre-Chorus]
No more proving. No more shrinking down to fit.
Sandy, you were the answer — you just had to grow into it.

[Chorus]
You were born on the edge where one thing ends and one begins,
With a moon already letting go and the sea beneath your skin.
Sandy, you're the water, and the arrow, and the flame —
Nobody's ever carried all three quite the same.
And the sky that watched you open up your eyes that very first day
Has never stopped keeping watch, not once along the way.

[Bridge]
Here's the secret that the sky's been keeping just for you:
The second half belongs to all the things you didn't dare to do.
You'll find your people — strange and loyal, wild and true,
A circle full of misfits who see the world like you.
And love won't be a bargain or a debt you have to pay,
It'll be the deepest water, and you'll let it carry you away.
Everything you let go of will come back a different shape —
The ending you were born on was a doorway, not an escape.

[Chorus]
You were born on the edge where one thing ends and one begins,
With a moon already letting go and the sea beneath your skin.
Sandy, you're the water, and the arrow, and the flame —
Nobody's ever carried all three quite the same.
And the sky that watched you open up your eyes that very first day
Has never stopped keeping watch, not once along the way.

[Outro]
Take your hand off the latch, Sandy. Let the water in.
You were born at the edge of an ending — and this is where you begin.
