[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the bones that the surface won't show
A current running deep where the still waters flow
The world sees the steady, the calm and the cool
But underneath that silence is a hurricane's pull
You feel everything harder than most ever will
Then fold it into patience, hold it perfectly still

[PreChorus]
You've carried what was handed down before you knew the weight
And turned it into wisdom at the door of something great

[Chorus]
Cody, you were written in a language older than the sky
Every scar became a compass, every question was a why
The roots go deeper than the darkness, than the doubt you've known
You are not the things that hurt you — you have always been your own

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, slow and sure as the earth
Not a spark that flares and fades but a fire that knows its worth
You give before you're asked, you stay when others leave
You pour yourself out quietly and rarely ask to receive
But the heart that holds the world still needs somewhere to land
Someone close enough to see you, gentle enough to understand

[PreChorus]
You think in images and rivers, not in straight clean lines
And every truth you've ever found came dressed in signs

[Chorus]
Cody, you were written in a language older than the sky
Every scar became a compass, every question was a why
The roots go deeper than the darkness, than the doubt you've known
You are not the things that hurt you — you have always been your own

[Verse 3]
The hunger that you carry for something true and real
Isn't restlessness or recklessness — it's a gift you're meant to feel
You've stood inside the wreckage of the life you thought you'd build
And found a kind of courage there that no one else could fill
There's a mind behind the quiet that cuts straight to the bone
A rare and holy stillness that you've never been shown

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn your place or prove that you belong
The thing you've called a weakness was your strength all along

[Chorus]
Cody, you were written in a language older than the sky
Every scar became a compass, every question was a why
The roots go deeper than the darkness, than the doubt you've known
You are not the things that hurt you — you have always been your own

[Verse 4]
The universe built you careful, with intention in each seam
A dreamer with a backbone, a realist with a dream
You'll leave a mark worth leaving in the places that you go
Not by burning bright for others but by letting yourself glow
The story isn't over, not the best parts anyway
There's a version of tomorrow that was made for you to claim

[PreChorus]
So rest inside the knowing, let the striving fall away
Everything you are right now is already enough today

[Bridge]
You were held before you knew it, you were loved before the start
The cosmos carved a map of purpose deep inside your heart
Let the lion in you lead now, let the tide inside you breathe
You are guided, you are grounded — you are more than you believe

[Outro]
Cody, you were written in a language built to last
Present in the future, never buried in the past
The stars that made you knew exactly what they'd find
Someone rare and worth remembering — one of a kind
