[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold a room
Like deep water running quiet underneath the moon
You see everything — the weight behind the words unsaid
A mind like still fire, a heart that maps the dead ends and the threads
They see the poise, they don't see the tide
All those fathoms you've been carrying inside

[PreChorus]
But every current you've survived has made you wise
You were written in the dark and you still rise

[Chorus]
Safiya, you are ancient and you're new
The cosmos carved its finest work in you
Every scar became a compass, every ache a door
You don't have to prove a thing, not anymore

[Verse 2]
You love in whispers, in the small remembered things
In showing up before they ask, in noticing
You've kept so much devotion in a hidden place
A whole cathedral built in silence, full of grace
Sometimes the fear of not being enough
Has made you quiet when you should have called the bluff

[PreChorus]
But the wound was never weakness — it was school
And everything it taught you made you whole

[Chorus]
Safiya, you are ancient and you're new
The cosmos carved its finest work in you
Every scar became a compass, every ache a door
You don't have to prove a thing, not anymore

[Verse 3]
You've chased the horizon like it owed you truth
Fueled by conviction, always asking what's the use
Your mind thinks in symbols, reads the room before the knock
Turns philosophy to music, turns the grief to rock
There's a vision inside you wider than the sky
That the ordinary world has never quite supplied

[PreChorus]
So you rebuilt the definition of your worth
Planted something permanent deep in the earth

[Chorus]
Safiya, you are ancient and you're new
The cosmos carved its finest work in you
Every scar became a compass, every ache a door
You don't have to prove a thing, not anymore

[Verse 4]
Your life was never meant to fit a borrowed frame
You've broken cycles that were handed down with someone else's name
The circles that you keep are few but forged in fire
You lead without a throne and you inspire
There is a legacy already in your hands
Not written in applause — in how you understand

[PreChorus]
The universe has known you from before your name
And nothing that you've been through was in vain

[Bridge]
You are enough in the stillness and the storm
You are enough exactly as you're formed
The light you've always given — give some back to you
Safiya, every part of you is true

[Outro]
The stars that shaped you haven't finished yet
You carry what the world won't soon forget
Rest in knowing — you were always meant to be
Whole, and loved, and completely free
