[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you face the morning light
A quiet kind of hunger that you carry through the night
You show the world your warmth, your wit, your open hand
But there's a deeper current few will ever understand
You've built a life on purpose, brick by careful brick
A soul that heals and holds, but rarely asks for it

[PreChorus]
They see the steady surface, the calm you've learned to wear
They don't see all the tides you've crossed to get you there

[Chorus]
You are the arrow and the archer both
You are the wound that grew into the oath
Rooted in what's real, dreaming of what's true
The cosmos wrote this carefully for you

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, slow and deep and sure
You take your time with trust because you know what trust is for
You've felt the sting of rooms where you bent yourself in two
Tried to smooth the edges of yourself to make them comfortable for you
But the harmony you craved was always yours to build
Not borrowed from their approval, not a longing to be filled

[PreChorus]
The thing you kept adjusting was already right
You were already whole inside that search for light

[Chorus]
You are the arrow and the archer both
You are the wound that grew into the oath
Rooted in what's real, dreaming of what's true
The cosmos wrote this carefully for you

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves like a blueprint over everything you see
Every word you choose is weighted, every thought earned carefully
You've been hard on yourself for cracks that no one else could find
Chasing some perfection living only in your mind
But that precision is a gift, that hunger is a grace
Every standard that you've held has built something in its place

[PreChorus]
The world calls it relentless, but you know it as your north
Every sleepless night a testament to everything you're worth

[Chorus]
You are the arrow and the archer both
You are the wound that grew into the oath
Rooted in what's real, dreaming of what's true
The cosmos wrote this carefully for you

[Verse 4]
There's a version of you that you haven't let run free
The one who plays without a reason, who creates without a key
Who lets the tide come in without needing to control
Who trusts the pull of feeling as a compass for the soul
You've survived the storms that tried to take your sense of home
And turned them into shelter, turned them into something to call your own

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the rest, you don't have to prove the light
Everything you are already justifies tonight

[Chorus]
You are the arrow and the archer both
You are the wound that grew into the oath
Rooted in what's real, dreaming of what's true
The cosmos wrote this carefully for you

[Bridge]
The moon has held your longing in its silver-handed grace
The stars aligned with purpose on the night you took your place
You are not behind, you are not lost, you are not incomplete
You are every season turning, you are ancient, you are fleet

[Outro]
So lay the proving down and let yourself be found
You were never broken, only sacred, only bound
To something vast and tender, something true
The universe has only ever known you
