[Verse 1]
There's a stillness that runs through the marrow of the earth,
A patience that was planted long before your birth,
You carry what the world can't see, a tide beneath the ground,
A mind that chases every truth, a soul that must be found,
The calm they see is just the shore, the ocean runs much deeper,
You've always been your own best map and your own secret keeper

[PreChorus]
But some nights the fire rises faster than the morning,
A restless heart beneath the quiet, beautiful and burning

[Chorus]
Ethan, you were written in a language old and true,
The universe took its time and poured its best into you,
You are rooted and you're reaching, you are ancient and alive,
Every version of you ever was enough to thrive

[Verse 2]
You love like someone who has read the last page and still stayed,
All or nothing, no half-measures, no devotion half-displayed,
You've felt the ache of wondering if your presence leaves a mark,
You've fought for everyone around you in the silence and the dark,
But every wall you ever built was just a door that hadn't turned,
And every road you walked alone was a lantern that you earned

[PreChorus]
The world needs what you carry, what you give before you're asked,
The depth behind your steady eyes, the gold beneath the mask

[Chorus]
Ethan, you were written in a language old and true,
The universe took its time and poured its best into you,
You are rooted and you're reaching, you are ancient and alive,
Every version of you ever was enough to thrive

[Bridge]
You don't have to prove your worth by the weight of what you've done,
You were never just the distance, you were always where you're from,
The horizon keeps on calling and your compass always knows,
You are home inside yourself, and that is where the whole world goes

[Outro]
You are guided, you are held, you are woven into light,
Ethan, you were always, always worth the whole long night
