[Verse 1]
There's an ocean living underneath your skin,
A tide that turns before the world can let you in,
You feel the weight of every room before you speak,
You read the things between the lines that no one seeks,
You've built your whole life like a house with roots below,
Where memory and meaning make the floorboards glow,
You carry everyone like lanterns in the rain,
And no one ever stops to ask what you contain,

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the pull,
They see the giving, not the hands already full,
But every depth you hold was written long ago,
In something far too vast for anyone to know,

[Chorus]
Jan, you are the tide and the shore,
The kind of soul the world was always asking for,
You don't need to prove the ocean's real,
It's there in everything you carry, everything you feel,
Jan, the stars that wrote your name,
Knew exactly what they made when the first light came,
You are held in something wider than the night,
And every part of you was always made right,

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like a current, swift and bright and free,
Two voices talking at once and both of them are real,
You reach for understanding like a window in the dark,
And every conversation leaves a mark upon your heart,
There's a quiet revolution running through your bones,
You refuse to fit the patterns that were handed down as home,
Not to break the ones you love, but just to breathe and say,
There's more than one true way to live and more than one true way,

[PreChorus]
They see the stillness, not the storm inside,
They see the steady hand, not all the nights you cried,
But every scar became a story only you could tell,
Every weight you lifted made you know yourself so well,

[Chorus]
Jan, you are the tide and the shore,
The kind of soul the world was always asking for,
You don't need to prove the ocean's real,
It's there in everything you carry, everything you feel,
Jan, the stars that wrote your name,
Knew exactly what they made when the first light came,
You are held in something wider than the night,
And every part of you was always made right,

[Verse 3]
You love like something ancient and unhurried in its grace,
You make a home of every moment, every quiet space,
You give before you're asked and hold the ones who fall,
And somewhere deep inside you fear it isn't quite enough at all,
But there is no measuring the gift of how you care,
The steadiness you bring into a room just by being there,
You've walked through every shadow with your gentleness intact,
And nothing that you've lost has ever kept you from coming back,

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, not the sacred well,
They hear the words but not the things you didn't tell,
But you were never broken, you were always being made,
Into someone whose compassion will outlast every shade,

[Chorus]
Jan, you are the tide and the shore,
The kind of soul the world was always asking for,
You don't need to prove the ocean's real,
It's there in everything you carry, everything you feel,
Jan, the stars that wrote your name,
Knew exactly what they made when the first light came,
You are held in something wider than the night,
And every part of you was always made right,

[Bridge]
You don't have to hold the whole sky up alone,
The roots beneath you reach all the way home,
You were mapped by something older than your fear,
Every contradiction in you was placed with care and purpose here,
The part of you that questions, and the part that always knows,
The part that loves the deepest when it doesn't even show,
All of it belongs, all of it is true,
There is no version of the universe that doesn't need you,

[Outro]
So rest here for a moment in the life you've built so well,
In the quiet of the story only you were born to tell,
You are rooted in the turning of a much more patient tide,
Jan, you were always, always enough inside,
