[Verse 1]
There's a current underneath you that the surface doesn't show,
A mind that reads between the lines of everything you know,
You carry whole oceans inside a quiet room,
Born between the dying light and the pull of a new moon,
The world sees composure, they don't see the tide,
All those fathoms running deep, all that fire you hide

[PreChorus]
But the depth in you was never meant to stay below,
There's a reason you feel everything — it's how you grow

[Chorus]
You are the still water and the storm that it conceals,
The kind of soul that understands what no one else can feel,
You don't have to surface just to prove that you're alive,
You were written in the dark so you could teach yourself to shine

[Verse 2]
You love like someone searching for the truest thing on earth,
Spontaneous and fearless, but it's never been for worth,
You've pulled back from the table when the stakes felt too unkind,
Built a wall around the tenderest chambers of your mind,
But love that asks for freedom is the only kind that's real,
And the way you give when you feel safe — that's everything to heal

[PreChorus]
You don't need permission to take up the space you fill,
Every scar you carry quiet is a testament to will

[Chorus]
You are the still water and the storm that it conceals,
The kind of soul that understands what no one else can feel,
You don't have to surface just to prove that you're alive,
You were written in the dark so you could teach yourself to shine

[Verse 3]
You've done the work in silence, where no audience could see,
Turned your shadow into lanterns, turned your questions into keys,
There's a place inside you ancient as the bedrock of the ground,
Where the wisdom you were born with just keeps quietly being found,
You've questioned every structure that was handed to you whole,
Not to burn the world down — just to build it from your soul

[PreChorus]
The world needs what you carry, don't let smallness talk you out,
You were never meant to shrink — you were meant to reach and shout

[Chorus]
You are the still water and the storm that it conceals,
The kind of soul that understands what no one else can feel,
You don't have to surface just to prove that you're alive,
You were written in the dark so you could teach yourself to shine

[Verse 4]
They may never crown the work you do inside the unseen hours,
But the roots go deep regardless of the credit given flowers,
You define what matters, you rewrite what winning means,
And the most authentic version of you is better than it seems,
So let the tide come fully in, let all of it be true,
The cosmos didn't waste a star when they were building you

[PreChorus]
You are guided by something older than a name can hold,
Let it carry you — you've always been exactly what you're told

[Chorus]
You are the still water and the storm that it conceals,
The kind of soul that understands what no one else can feel,
You don't have to surface just to prove that you're alive,
You were written in the dark so you could teach yourself to shine

[Bridge]
Every wound became a compass pointing somewhere true,
Every time you disappeared, you came back more as you,
The deepest kind of light is forged where no one else can see,
You are whole, you are enough — you are exactly where you need to be

[Outro]
So rest in what you are, let the current take the weight,
The universe was patient — it has never been too late,
You are held, you are home, you are the tide and you're the shore,
You were never less than everything — you couldn't have been more
