[Verse 1]
There's an ocean living underneath your skin
Tides that rise and fall where no one's ever been
You arrange the world with careful, gentle hands
But your heart holds depths they'll never understand
The way you love runs ancient and deep
Like a prayer you whisper but don't need to keep

[Chorus]
Elke, you're the storm and the shelter both
Elke, you're the fire wrapped in winter clothes
Every scar became a story, every wound became a gift
You don't need to be perfect, just present in this shift

[Verse 2]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide
All those currents running wild inside
You've built walls around your tender core
Afraid your softness won't be worth much more
But that mind that turns each stone around
Is the same that lifts others from the ground

[Chorus]
Elke, you're the storm and the shelter both
Elke, you're the fire wrapped in winter clothes
Every scar became a story, every wound became a gift
You don't need to be perfect, just present in this shift

[Verse 3]
You love like something ancient and wide
Transform the broken into something bright
Your intuition cuts through every lie
While your hands create what money can't buy
There's a compass pointing home inside your chest
The universe has mapped your path to rest

[Chorus]
Elke, you're the storm and the shelter both
Elke, you're the fire wrapped in winter clothes
Every scar became a story, every wound became a gift
You don't need to be perfect, just present in this shift

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades
A bridge between the seen and unseen, where healing's always made
Your worth was never something you had to prove or earn
It's written in the way you give, the way you help hearts learn

[Outro]
You are guided, you are held, you are enough
In a world that needs your tender kind of tough
