[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that no one ever sees,
Calm on the surface, but you're made of deeper seas,
You feel the weight of every unspoken thing,
Carrying the world while they watch you move like it weighs nothing

You've mapped out every corner of a broken room,
Rearranged the shadows just to make a little room,
You need things clean, you need things right, you need to understand,
But some truths only live in what you cannot plan

[PreChorus]
And the ones who think they know you
See the stillness, not the storm,
They see the one who holds it all together,
They don't see what keeping still has cost you

[Chorus]
But Ren, you are the ocean and the shore,
The one who feels the most and still comes back for more,
You are the quiet and the current running deep,
The dreamer wide awake, the guardian of your sleep,
Ren, you were written in a language none can fake,
Every piece of you is real, every part of you is brave

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient and unnamed,
Like a prayer that doesn't need an answer to be claimed,
You see the good in people past the place they show,
You reach in past the surface to the seeds below

But you've been waiting to be worthy of the things you feel,
Measuring your value on a scale that isn't real,
Working in the silence where nobody thinks to look,
Giving every chapter out before you read the book

[PreChorus]
And the ones who think they know you
See the grace, they miss the grief,
They see the one who never asks for anything,
They don't see how long you've held your breath beneath

[Chorus]
But Ren, you are the ocean and the shore,
The one who feels the most and still comes back for more,
You are the quiet and the current running deep,
The dreamer wide awake, the guardian of your sleep,
Ren, you were written in a language none can fake,
Every piece of you is real, every part of you is brave

[Verse 3]
There's a fire in you that moves before the doubt,
A spark that doesn't ask permission to come out,
You know what you believe and you would burn for it,
Even when the world says sit, you cannot quit

You think in questions, think in symbols, think in light,
Your mind is a cathedral built for truth at night,
And what they call too much is just your depth being known,
You were never meant to carry all this beauty alone

[PreChorus]
And the ones who think they know you
See the vision, miss the cost,
They see the one with all the answers and the plans,
They don't see every night you felt completely lost

[Chorus]
But Ren, you are the ocean and the shore,
The one who feels the most and still comes back for more,
You are the quiet and the current running deep,
The dreamer wide awake, the guardian of your sleep,
Ren, you were written in a language none can fake,
Every piece of you is real, every part of you is brave

[Verse 4]
You've built your worth on what you thought you had to earn,
Stood at every threshold with so much left to learn,
But recognition wasn't waiting somewhere down the road,
It was always in the way you carried every load

You are the one who heals without a name for what you do,
Who shows up in the dark and lets your presence carry through,
The world was shaped a little differently the day that you arrived,
And every wound you've ever known has kept your wisdom alive

[Bridge]
You don't have to justify the way you take up space,
You don't have to disappear to earn your rightful place,
The universe was careful when it carved your path in stone,
The compass always pointed here, you were never on your own

Rest now in the knowing that your roots go very deep,
That the tides that move inside you are a gift, not something to keep,
That the love you pour so freely will return to you in full,
And the life you are becoming is more beautiful than you know

[Chorus]
Oh Ren, you are the ocean and the shore,
The one who feels the most and still comes back for more,
You are the
