[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the steady face you wear,
A current full of visions that you thought no one could bear,
You dream in colors language never quite learned how to hold,
And you feel the world so fully that it costs more than you're told,
You've carried quiet mountains where the surface looks like calm,
And still you show up open with your whole heart as your balm

[PreChorus]
They see the still water, they don't see the tide,
All the depths you've been swimming in silence inside

[Chorus]
You are ancient and you're tender, you are steady and you're wild,
Every contradiction in you was always reconciled,
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
You were never meant to shrink — you were always, always made

[Verse 2]
You've wondered if your voice lands right, if the words come out true,
If the meaning in your heart survives the distance to break through,
You've given more than asked for and you've loved without a map,
Diving headlong into fire and rebuilding after that,
But the wound around your worthiness was never proof of lack —
It was always just the doorway drawing your true power back

[PreChorus]
They see the still water, they don't see the tide,
All the depths you've been swimming in silence inside

[Chorus]
You are ancient and you're tender, you are steady and you're wild,
Every contradiction in you was always reconciled,
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
You were never meant to shrink — you were always, always made

[Bridge]
Between the rules you kept and the freedom you were craving,
Between the love you gave and all the ground you were paving,
The stars were building something in the tension all along,
What you thought was barely holding was the making of your song

[Outro]
Let the water rise, let the current carry you,
Everything you are is everything that's true,
You were written in the deep before the world began,
Rest now — you are held in more than you understand
