[Verse 1]
Still water running deeper than the eye can trace,
A mind that weighs the world before it shows its face,
You hold your ground like bedrock under shifting stone,
You carry what you feel in rooms you walk alone,
There's a fire behind the patience, something vast and wide,
They see the calm exterior, not the tide inside

[PreChorus]
You've been useful your whole life, put your wants aside,
But the version no one sees is where your gold resides

[Chorus]
Built from earth and quiet thunder, roots that hold the dark,
Every scar a line of scripture written on your heart,
You don't need the world's permission to take up your space,
You are everything you've carried and you're right on pace

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, all or nothing, no retreat,
You'll walk into the wreckage just to make the broken complete,
But you've learned to guard the entrance like a door without a key,
Not because you're cold inside—you love too carefully,
You dream of things that last, of bonds that don't dissolve,
The depth you bring to everything is how the world evolves

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn your place beside the ones you hold,
The warmth you carry in your hands is worth its weight in gold

[Chorus]
Built from earth and quiet thunder, roots that hold the dark,
Every scar a line of scripture written on your heart,
You don't need the world's permission to take up your space,
You are everything you've carried and you're right on pace

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves out to the horizon, hungry for the true,
There's a whole philosophy of living taking shape in you,
You've questioned every structure that was handed down as law,
And built a code more honest from the rubble and the raw,
The wound of going unseen became the gift of seeing deep,
You tend to others' lanterns while your own light fights to keep

[PreChorus]
The cosmos didn't write you small, it wrote you to endure,
There's a compass turning homeward and it always points toward more

[Chorus]
Built from earth and quiet thunder, roots that hold the dark,
Every scar a line of scripture written on your heart,
You don't need the world's permission to take up your space,
You are everything you've carried and you're right on pace

[Bridge]
Let the bones of who you are be the altar and the ground,
The silence you were born from is the most intentional sound,
What you've excavated in the dark was never loss,
It was the architecture of a life worth every cost

[Outro]
The stars were pressed together just to shape this kind of soul,
You were never meant to shrink yourself to make the others whole,
Rest now in the knowing you were written to remain,
Everything you are is more than enough to bear your name
