[Verse 1]
You carry depths that run like ancient rivers
While wearing masks the world expects to see
A gentle heart that holds and holds and gives
But guards its own needs carefully
You love like fire that moves before it thinks
With courage blazing in your honest eyes
Yet feel the weight of every choice you make
Between the earth and endless skies

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they miss the tide
All those currents running deep inside

[Chorus]
Susan, you're the ocean and the shore
The dreamer with her feet upon the ground
Susan, you're worth so much more
Than all the ways you try to make no sound
You don't need permission to be whole
You're exactly who you're meant to be, Susan

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves through the mysteries like lightning
Seeing patterns others never find
But when the words come flooding through your spirit
You second-guess your brilliant mind
You build your world with careful, steady hands
Each stone placed with intention and with care
While your imagination paints the blueprint
Of castles floating in the air

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they miss the tide
All those currents running deep inside

[Chorus]
Susan, you're the ocean and the shore
The dreamer with her feet upon the ground
Susan, you're worth so much more
Than all the ways you try to make no sound
You don't need permission to be whole
You're exactly who you're meant to be, Susan

[Verse 3]
You've learned to hold your fire when it matters
To choose your battles with a warrior's grace
The universe has mapped your contradictions
As beauty written on your face
Your path leads through the questions to the answers
Through service into understanding deep
You're meant to teach what can't be taught in textbooks
The wisdom that your searching soul will reap

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they miss the tide
All those currents running deep inside

[Chorus]
Susan, you're the ocean and the shore
The dreamer with her feet upon the ground
Susan, you're worth so much more
Than all the ways you try to make no sound
You don't need permission to be whole
You're exactly who you're meant to be, Susan

[Bridge]
Every wound became a window
Every doubt became a door
You're not broken, you're not failing
You're becoming something more

[Outro]
The cosmos wrote you carefully
With ink that never fades
You are guided, you are held
You are enough in all your ways
