[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the stillness, a current no one names,
A mind that burns like kindling while the outside stays the same,
You lead with fire, you feel with ocean, you hold the whole world's weight,
You've been building something solid while the others couldn't wait,
The words you choose so carefully carry more than they let on,
You think in depth and color while the surface carries on

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they miss the storm inside,
All that feeling you've learned how to hide

[Chorus]
You are the shore and you are the sea,
Too vast for anyone to fully read,
The contradiction is the gift you bring,
You don't have to choose between the wild and the disciplined

[Verse 2]
You've carried weight like it was born into your hands,
Made yourself useful when you couldn't make demands,
You love through conversation, through a joke, a knowing look,
You give before you're asked and take so little back,
But somewhere underneath the structure and the plan,
There's a voice that's asking if you're loved for who you are, not what you can

[PreChorus]
The mountain and the moon have always known your name,
You were written into something more than what you claim

[Chorus]
You are the shore and you are the sea,
Too vast for anyone to fully read,
The contradiction is the gift you bring,
You don't have to choose between the wild and the disciplined

[Bridge]
You've descended into darkness just to bring somebody light,
Every wound became a lantern burning steady through the night,
The universe was careful when it carved you into place,
You are not too much, you're not too little, you are not a mistake

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing that the cosmos wrote you true,
There is nothing left to prove, the world already needs you,
You are guided, you are held, and you are more than enough,
You are the tide coming home
