[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath that steady gaze,
A quiet fire burning through the haze.
You hold your ground when the whole world shakes,
And you mend yourself from the cracks and breaks.

They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those currents running deep inside.
But you were made for the in-between,
The unseen weight and the unheard dream.

[Pre-Chorus]
And when the night gets long and the road feels strange,
You're not lost, you're just mid-change.

[Chorus]
So let the water rise, let the old things go,
There's a version of you that you're starting to know.
You don't need permission to finally be free,
The universe already knows who you'll be.

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient and wide,
Like a prayer you whisper but don't need to hide.
You're searching for someone who speaks your tongue,
Who sees the battles that you've already won.

Your heart wants truth, not a pretty show,
Someone willing to meet you where the deep things grow.
And the ones who match you will feel like home,
The kind of shelter you've built on your own.

[Pre-Chorus]
And when the night gets long and the road feels strange,
You're not lost, you're just mid-change.

[Chorus]
So let the water rise, let the old things go,
There's a version of you that you're starting to know.
You don't need permission to finally be free,
The universe already knows who you'll be.

[Verse 3]
You've been carrying more than you let them see,
A tender wound dressed in dignity.
But the scar's not a story of what went wrong,
It's the reason you're standing, the reason you're strong.

The stars don't promise an easy climb,
But they say you're exactly where you need to be this time.
So trust the part of you that knows the way,
The part that rises at the break of day.

[Pre-Chorus]
And when the night gets long and the road feels strange,
You're not lost, you're just mid-change.

[Chorus]
So let the water rise, let the old things go,
There's a version of you that you're starting to know.
You don't need permission to finally be free,
The universe already knows who you'll be.

[Bridge]
You were never meant for shallow ground,
You were made for the depths where meaning is found.
And every time you thought you'd fall apart,
You rebuilt yourself with a wilder heart.

[Outro]
The universe already knows who you'll be,
And she's someone worth waiting to see.
