[Verse 1]
You came here on a cross of your own design
Four directions pulling, and you walk the line
Not to suffer, but to learn the weight of form
To hold the human ache and still transform
You chose the tension long before your birth
A soul that wanted friction with the earth

[PreChorus]
And the war inside was never meant to break you
It was meant to make you whole

[Chorus]
You're not here to hide inside the harbor walls
You're here to be the tide that answers every call
The cross you carry isn't punishment or fate
It's the door you built yourself to incarnate
To incarnate

[Verse 2]
There's a pull between the self and something vast
Between the one you are and all that you've amassed
You feel the edges of a thousand other lives
Something in you holds them, something in you strives
To dissolve the walls that keep you standing small
To remember you were never just one soul at all

[PreChorus]
And the ache you feel for strangers and for seas
Is the compass pointing toward what wants to be

[Chorus]
You're not here to hide inside the harbor walls
You're here to be the tide that answers every call
The cross you carry isn't punishment or fate
It's the door you built yourself to incarnate
To incarnate

[Verse 3]
The warrior in you doesn't fight to win
It fights to turn the blade of doubt back in
To conquer not the world but what you crave
To master every hunger, every wave
Your heart's a vessel for a larger light
You came to hold the many through the night

[PreChorus]
So when the four directions tear at who you are
Remember—you're the center, you're the star

[Chorus]
You're not here to hide inside the harbor walls
You're here to be the tide that answers every call
The cross you carry isn't punishment or fate
It's the door you built yourself to incarnate
To incarnate

[Bridge]
Let go of small belonging, let go of only "mine"
You were built to hold the collective in your spine
The cross was never broken—it was always whole
A compass for the journey of your soul

[Outro]
Before the body, before the name, before the doubt
Your soul already knew what this was all about
All about
