[Verse 1]
She carries the ocean like it's nothing new,
A current that runs deeper than the ones she shows to you,
She tends to every heart in the room before her own,
A warmth that builds a shelter, making everywhere a home,
There's a fire underneath the surface, quiet but alive,
A mind that turns the world over before it says goodnight,
She feels the weight of everything the way the deep sea feels the tide,
And she holds it with a grace that she has never tried to hide

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those fathoms running deep inside,
Every room she enters, she is giving more than light,
She's holding up the moon and making it look light

[Chorus]
Beth, you are the still water and the wave,
You are every quiet promise that the turning season gave,
You are rooted like the earth beneath the sky,
You are ancient, you are open, you were written in the light,
Beth, let your stars decide

[Verse 2]
She has built her worth in hours, in the doing, in the proof,
As though being isn't enough without a reason to be true,
She has questioned her own presence like a candle doubts its flame,
But the room would not be warm without her carrying that name,
She reads between the lines of everyone she loves,
A fluency in feeling that no one ever taught,
She remembers what was tender, she remembers every thread,
The kind of love she carries doesn't die when it goes unsaid

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those fathoms running deep inside,
Every room she enters, she is giving more than light,
She's holding up the moon and making it look light

[Chorus]
Beth, you are the still water and the wave,
You are every quiet promise that the turning season gave,
You are rooted like the earth beneath the sky,
You are ancient, you are open, you were written in the light,
Beth, let your stars decide

[Verse 3]
There is a voice inside her that was born to say the true thing,
Bold enough to hold a room, warm enough to make it sing,
She has searched across the wide world and the world of deeper thought,
For a truth that wasn't given, for a faith that could be caught,
And the ache of not yet knowing became wisdom in disguise,
Every question she has carried is the compass, not the prize,
She does not need to earn the ground she walks on every day,
The world already needs the gifts she quietly gives away

[PreChorus]
She is both the steady earth and the undertow,
The kind of soul that changes you and doesn't even know,
Every scar became a story, every doubt became a door,
She was always who she needed, she was always something more

[Chorus]
Beth, you are the still water and the wave,
You are every quiet promise that the turning season gave,
You are rooted like the earth beneath the sky,
You are ancient, you are open, you were written in the light,
Beth, let your stars decide

[Verse 4]
She has wrestled with the pull between the self she wants to show,
And the version of herself she tends in places no one goes,
Between the fire of the moment and the long and patient road,
Between the need to carry and the need to set it down,
But that tension is not something she needs to overcome,
It is the very engine that has driven her this far,
She is the balance and the breaking, she is tenderness and fight,
She is exactly who the universe intended, burning bright

[Bridge]
She does not need to be perfect, just present and alive,
She does not need to prove herself to anyone tonight,
The cosmos wrote her carefully with ink that never fades,
She is held in something vast that knows her name

[Chorus]
Beth, you are the still water and the wave,
You are every quiet promise that the turning season gave,
You are rooted like the earth beneath the sky,
You are ancient, you are open, you were written in the light,
Beth, let your stars decide

[Outro]
The universe has mapped this path before your first breath fell,
And everything you are right now is more than you can tell,
You are guided, you are held, you are enough,
