[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the still you show the world,
Every feeling runs so deep it never gets unfurled,
You carry what you love like it's written in your bones,
You built your whole foundation from the things you've always known,
They see the quiet surface, they don't see the undertow,
The tides that move inside you are the deepest part of you to know

[PreChorus]
But the still water holds the most weight,
And everything you feel was never meant to wait

[Chorus]
Troy, you are the current and the shore,
The dreamer and the builder wanting more,
Written in the water and the night,
Troy, you were made exactly right

[Verse 2]
You think in metaphors where other people think in lines,
You reach for something sacred in the ordinary signs,
You've swallowed down your own desires just to keep the peace,
Held the weight of everyone and called it some release,
But that balance that you chase with every careful move,
Is the proof that you feel deeply, it's not something you need to prove

[PreChorus]
The walls you built were never made of stone,
They were built to buy you time until you found your home

[Chorus]
Troy, you are the current and the shore,
The dreamer and the builder wanting more,
Written in the water and the night,
Troy, you were made exactly right

[Verse 3]
You love like something ancient and unnamed,
Like a fire that forgives before it's blamed,
You've carried wounds so private that the dark became your friend,
But every hollow place inside you learned to hold and mend,
The world you want to change still hears you when you speak,
What you carry isn't burden, it's the power that you seek

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn the right to take up space,
Every scar you wear has always been a badge of grace

[Chorus]
Troy, you are the current and the shore,
The dreamer and the builder wanting more,
Written in the water and the night,
Troy, you were made exactly right

[Bridge]
The stars didn't write you as a question mark,
They wrote you as a lantern meant to burn into the dark,
You are held by something wider than the eye can see,
You are rooted, you are rising, you are already free

[Outro]
The cosmos carved you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
Troy, every part of who you are was purposefully made,
You are enough, you always were, you always will remain,
A rare and quiet thunder that the world is glad it can't contain
