[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you move before the world wakes up,
A current running underground that never quite fills up,
You carry what you've built alone like stone beneath the snow,
Composed on the outside while the tides below still flow,
You've learned to wear your feelings like a coat against the cold,
But everything you've swallowed is what makes you made of gold

[PreChorus]
You think your need for stillness means you're somehow hard to reach,
But the depth in you is wider than the things that others teach

[Chorus]
Eli Anna, you were written in a language all your own,
A compass and a wildfire, a harbor and a stone,
You don't need the world to name you for the truth of you to stand,
Eli Anna, you are more than they will ever understand

[Verse 2]
You've searched the long horizons for a meaning you could trust,
A faith that wasn't handed down and covered over in dust,
The questions in your bones have driven you past every edge,
You've walked through your own shadows just to find you on the ledge,
Not lost — but learning how to trust the knowing in your chest,
That every road you've wandered was preparing you for rest

[PreChorus]
You love like something ancient, like a tide that won't run dry,
You give before you're asked to and you never question why

[Chorus]
Eli Anna, you were written in a language all your own,
A compass and a wildfire, a harbor and a stone,
You don't need the world to name you for the truth of you to stand,
Eli Anna, you are more than they will ever understand

[Verse 3]
Your mind cuts through the surface where most others never go,
You see the thing behind the thing, the undercurrent's flow,
There's beauty in the way you love — like water finding form,
Dissolving into someone's life and making cold feel warm,
But you have earned the right to ask for what you also need,
Your worth was never something you were born to have to prove

[PreChorus]
The universe has mapped a path that only you can walk,
And every scar has given you the deepest kind of talk

[Chorus]
Eli Anna, you were written in a language all your own,
A compass and a wildfire, a harbor and a stone,
You don't need the world to name you for the truth of you to stand,
Eli Anna, you are more than they will ever understand

[Bridge]
You are the seeker and the gift, the question and the ground,
The one who builds the quiet room where lost things can be found,
Stop measuring your light against the candles others hold,
Eli Anna, you were never meant to fit inside a mold

[Outro]
The stars that mapped your coming knew exactly what they'd make,
A soul of this much substance takes a lifetime to awake,
You are guided, you are held, you have always been enough
