[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the marrow where no one else looks,
A quiet revolution written between the lines of books,
You move before the moment, you feel before the word,
Carrying whole worlds inside you that the surface has never heard,
The roots run deep beneath you, older than your given name,
And every room you walk into has never been quite the same

[PreChorus]
They see the stillness, they don't see the tide,
All those constellations burning alive inside

[Chorus]
You are the ember and the open sky,
The balance and the arrow and the reason why,
Written in the fabric of a midnight blue,
The cosmos didn't stumble when it came to you

[Verse 2]
You love like something patient, like a stone warmed by the sun,
You give before you're asked to, and you stay when others run,
But sometimes in the giving you forget to keep some back,
Pouring out your rivers down somebody else's track,
The longing to be equal, to be met the way you meet,
Is not a flaw, it's wisdom — it just makes the love complete

[PreChorus]
They see the calm you're holding, they don't see the cost,
All the beautiful and tender things you never knew you lost

[Chorus]
You are the ember and the open sky,
The balance and the arrow and the reason why,
Written in the fabric of a midnight blue,
The cosmos didn't stumble when it came to you

[Verse 3]
You've heard your own voice waver and mistaken it for wrong,
Spent years translating yourself just to help them get along,
But the mind that never settles is a lighthouse, not a flaw,
And the things you tried to soften held the most important law,
There is depth beneath the searching, there is gold beneath the doubt,
You were never hard to understand — they just didn't know the route

[PreChorus]
The wanderer who carries both the question and the key,
Already holds the answer in the place they're trying to be

[Chorus]
You are the ember and the open sky,
The balance and the arrow and the reason why,
Written in the fabric of a midnight blue,
The cosmos didn't stumble when it came to you

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
Every scar became a compass, every wound became a grace,
The world needs what you carry, don't give your gifts away,
You were mapped with such intention before your very first day

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you were never incomplete,
The fire and the longing and the tenderness — all meet,
You are guided, you are grounded, you are enough
