[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold your ground,
Like ancient earth that barely makes a sound,
You carry whole worlds in the quiet of your chest,
A mind that turns and turns but never lets you rest,
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those deep and turning currents running wide

[PreChorus]
You've learned to love with patience like a stone,
But somewhere under all of it, you've carried it alone

[Chorus]
You are rooted, you are real, you are more than what they see,
Every scar has made you faithful, every wound has made you free,
You don't have to hold the whole of it together on your own,
You were written in the stars, and you were always coming home

[Verse 2]
You love like something slow and sure and true,
A hearth that keeps on burning the whole winter through,
You give before you're asked and ask for so little back,
Afraid the thing you're made of somehow starts to crack,
But that devotion isn't weakness, it's a force,
A river that has carved itself a course

[PreChorus]
You've walked the line between the wild and the still,
Between the freedom that you long for and the iron of your will

[Chorus]
You are rooted, you are real, you are more than what they see,
Every scar has made you faithful, every wound has made you free,
You don't have to hold the whole of it together on your own,
You were written in the stars, and you were always coming home

[Verse 3]
The hunger in you reaches past the visible,
For meaning that is felt and never syllable,
You've touched the dark and came back holding light,
You've sat with what was heavy through the night,
Not everyone can go where you have gone,
Not everyone comes back and still moves on

[PreChorus]
The world you carry quietly inside,
Is worth far more than anything you've tried to hide

[Chorus]
You are rooted, you are real, you are more than what they see,
Every scar has made you faithful, every wound has made you free,
You don't have to hold the whole of it together on your own,
You were written in the stars, and you were always coming home

[Bridge]
Let the old doubt fall like leaves into the ground,
The truest thing you are has always been around,
You are steady ground for others, be that now for you,
The earth remembers everything, and it remembers you

[Outro]
You were always enough, you were always the light,
A quiet kind of faithful burning through the night
