[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that no one sees running deep
A current underneath the calm you learned to keep
You feel the weight of every room before you speak
And carry what the world has lost, what others seek
You think in colors, not in lines, you feel in waves
Your mind a lantern burning bright through narrow caves
They see the surface and they call it composed
But there's an ocean in you, always half-exposed

[PreChorus]
You've held so much for so long without a word
The quietest kind of brave is still being heard
And everything you've swallowed whole, every doubt you've known
Has only carved you deeper, turned your bones to stone

[Chorus]
Maureen, you are the tide and the shore
You are the question and what the question is for
The fire that moves before the world can catch up
You don't have to be perfect, you just have to show up
Maureen, the cosmos wrote you carefully
With depth that most will never have the grace to see
You are not too much, you've never been too small
You are exactly, precisely, enough for it all

[Verse 2]
You love like something patient, like the roots of old trees
You give before you're asked, like a hand in the breeze
You've built your worth in silence, afraid it wouldn't stand
Then offered it to others with an open hand
You've searched for balance in the places between
The space where you stop performing and just get to be
The harmony you crave is not a weakness at all
It's the reason every room feels warmer when you call

[PreChorus]
You've longed for the kind of love that doesn't leave a mark
You've stood at the edge of closeness and stepped back in the dark
But every scar you're carrying is a map of what survived
Every wall you ever built just proves how hard you've tried

[Chorus]
Maureen, you are the tide and the shore
You are the question and what the question is for
The fire that moves before the world can catch up
You don't have to be perfect, you just have to show up
Maureen, the cosmos wrote you carefully
With depth that most will never have the grace to see
You are not too much, you've never been too small
You are exactly, precisely, enough for it all

[Verse 3]
There's a purpose in the way you refuse to stay still
A compass pointing forward through every climb and hill
You were made to move in circles that grow wide and true
To lead by being honest, by being fully you
The world needs what you carry and the way you translate pain
Into something others lean on like the ground after rain
You've descended into darkness and returned with light
That's not a wound, that's the whole reason for the fight

[PreChorus]
So rest now in the knowing that your path was mapped in stars
The universe built you on purpose, with every single scar
You don't need to keep proving what has always been true
There's nothing left to earn, it was already you

[Chorus]
Maureen, you are the tide and the shore
You are the question and what the question is for
The fire that moves before the world can catch up
You don't have to be perfect, you just have to show up
Maureen, the cosmos wrote you carefully
With depth that most will never have the grace to see
You are not too much, you've never been too small
You are exactly, precisely, enough for it all

[Bridge]
Let the current take the weight of what you've carried alone
Every storm that tried to break you only sharpened the stone
You were never lost, you were finding the shape of your name
And the light you keep on giving will come back to you the same

[Outro]
The tide goes out and it always finds its way back to land
You were written in the water, you were held in a steady hand
You are guided, you are grounded, you are held, you are home
Maureen, you have never, not once, been alone
