[Verse 1]
There's a fire that walks in before you speak,
A lion's calm that makes the floorboards creak,
You hold the room without raising your voice,
The loudest presence is sometimes a choice,
But underneath the gold, beneath the crown,
There's a tide that no one sees pulling down

[PreChorus]
You feel everything deeper than they'll ever know,
A current running black and still below

[Chorus]
They see the light, they don't see the flood,
The ancient knowing running through your blood,
You are the flame and the ocean floor,
Already whole, already more

[Verse 2]
You love like someone who has memorized the small,
The quiet details no one else recalls,
You show up steady, you show up true,
With careful hands and a heart that follows through,
But you've asked yourself if the love you give so well
Is the kind you'd let yourself receive as well

[PreChorus]
You've built a home inside your chest for everyone,
Left the back room empty, left the light undone

[Chorus]
They see the light, they don't see the flood,
The ancient knowing running through your blood,
You are the flame and the ocean floor,
Already whole, already more

[Verse 3]
There's a wound that lives where belonging used to be,
A door you held wide open for community,
And when it didn't mirror what you knew was true,
You swallowed the confusion and you carried through,
That ache you felt for something real, refined,
Was never weakness — it's the sharpest kind of mind

[PreChorus]
The world doesn't build enough rooms for souls like you,
So you learned to build your own and call it truth

[Chorus]
They see the light, they don't see the flood,
The ancient knowing running through your blood,
You are the flame and the ocean floor,
Already whole, already more

[Verse 4]
You've gone to places most would not have dared to go,
Descended into dark to find the undertow,
And every time you surfaced, you came back with more,
A lantern and a language and a quiet roar,
The things that tried to break you only carved the space,
For something only you could carry, only you could face

[PreChorus]
You don't have to prove the depth of what you are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully — you are the star

[Chorus]
They see the light, they don't see the flood,
The ancient knowing running through your blood,
You are the flame and the ocean floor,
Already whole, already more

[Bridge]
Let the moon bear witness to the weight you've kept,
All the lives you tended while the whole world slept,
You are not a footnote in somebody else's song,
You are the whole refrain — you have been all along

[Outro]
The stars don't burn to prove they light the sky,
And neither do you — neither do you,
You were written in the deep before the dawn,
Already whole, already home
