[Verse 1]
You carry contradictions like a prayer
Steady roots in earth but reaching for the air
They see your careful words, your measured grace
But miss the lightning storm behind your face
There's fire in your soul that burns so bright
Yet you're the one who dims your own light

[PreChorus]
All those walls you've built to keep you safe
Every doubt you wear like armor plate
You think you have to earn what's already yours

[Chorus]
But Sunniva, you're the ocean and the shore
Sunniva, you're everything and so much more
The world needs what you carry deep inside
Stop waiting for permission to shine, Sunniva

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient running deep
Guard your heart like treasures that you keep
The way you hold back pieces of your soul
Afraid that showing all might break the whole
But every scar became a work of art
Every wound just proved your tender heart

[PreChorus]
All those dreams you whisper in the dark
Every truth you're scared to let them mark
You think you need to prove what's already true

[Chorus]
But Sunniva, you're the ocean and the shore
Sunniva, you're everything and so much more
The world needs what you carry deep inside
Stop waiting for permission to shine, Sunniva

[Verse 3]
You feel too much, they say you think too hard
Like depth and caring leave you battle-scarred
But your intensity's a sacred gift
The way you move through shadows, how you shift
Between the practical and mystical
You make the ordinary magical

[PreChorus]
All those times you doubted your own worth
Every fear about your place on earth
You are exactly who you're meant to be

[Chorus]
Sunniva, you're the ocean and the shore
Sunniva, you're everything and so much more
The world needs what you carry deep inside
Stop waiting for permission to shine, Sunniva

[Verse 4]
There's wisdom in the way you take your time
A thousand thoughts arranged in perfect rhyme
You see the patterns others can't perceive
Know when to hold on, when to let them leave
The universe conspired to make you whole
Every piece essential to your soul

[Bridge]
You don't have to be perfect, just be true
The cosmos wrote you carefully through and through
Every contradiction makes you strong
You've been enough this whole time, all along

[Outro]
You're guided, you are held, you are enough
Made of starlight and the stronger stuff
The path ahead is calling out your name
You were born to burn with your own flame
