Washed up on the shoreline

A fragile shell alone

The tide that brought me here

Has left me on my own

Scratched and worn by waves

That tossed me carelessly

I'm just another fragment

On this vast and endless beach

But you found me where I lay

Between the sand and foam

You lifted me so gently

Like you knew I was your own

When you held me to your ear

You heard what no one else could hear

The song I've always sung

But no one stopped to listen to

The storms that shaped my edges

The currents cold and deep

Left me hollow, left me silent

With secrets I would keep

I thought my voice was lost

Beneath the ocean's roar

Just another broken treasure

Abandoned on the shore

But you found me where I lay

Between the sand and foam

You lifted me so gently

Like you knew I was your own

When you held me to your ear

You heard what no one else could hear

The song I've always sung

But no one stopped to listen to

Now I'm singing

No longer just surviving

In your hands I found my purpose

In your eyes I see my worth

The world inside me

That I thought was just a whisper

You showed me was an ocean

You showed me was a universe

You found me where I lay

Between the sand and foam

You lifted me so gently

Like you knew I was your own

When you held me to your ear

You heard what no one else could hear

The song I've always sung

The song that led you right to me
