[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold your ground,
Like deep roots underneath without a sound,
You carry what the world has never seen,
The wilderness of everything you mean,
A hunger in you pointed at the sky,
Always reaching for the reason why

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, calm and sure and bright,
They don't see all the miles you've walked at night

[Chorus]
You are ancient and you're burning all at once,
A quiet fire that the cold world undercuts,
You don't need to prove the depth of what you are,
The sky already knows you by your scars

[Verse 2]
You love like someone throwing open doors,
Then wonder if the love was really yours,
You've built a careful distance around your heart,
Not from coldness but from falling apart,
You give before you're asked and ask too late,
You soften at the edges you protect with weight

[PreChorus]
The trust you guard so closely cost you dear,
But every boundary holds the proof you're here

[Chorus]
You are ancient and you're burning all at once,
A quiet fire that the cold world undercuts,
You don't need to prove the depth of what you are,
The sky already knows you by your scars

[Verse 3]
Your mind absorbs what others walk straight past,
You hold what's real and let the shallow last,
You've questioned every map and creed and sign,
Still built a truth that's beautifully yours and mine,
The world calls loud but you were built for more,
A compass pointing somewhere worth searching for

[PreChorus]
The wandering was never wasted time,
Every road you've walked has led you to this climb

[Chorus]
You are ancient and you're burning all at once,
A quiet fire that the cold world undercuts,
You don't need to prove the depth of what you are,
The sky already knows you by your scars

[Bridge]
You were written in a language made of light,
Every wound a door that opened something wide,
You were never too much, never not enough,
The cosmos built you tender and it built you tough

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you are whole,
The stars have always recognized your soul
