[Verse 1]
Still water runs deep beneath a patient face,
A mind that maps the hidden, a heart that holds its place,
You carry what most people never dare to find,
The weight of ancient knowing living quiet in your mind,
They see the calm, they miss the tidal pull inside,
The roots that reach down deeper than the ones you let them find,

[PreChorus]
You were built for the long haul, the slow and steady flame,
Every scar you've gathered has a purpose and a name,

[Chorus]
You are the oak that bends but doesn't break,
The still deep water no one's crossed but can't mistake,
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
You were written by the cosmos, and the work is complete,

[Verse 2]
You love like a conversation that could last through any night,
A warm and curious reaching toward the edges of the light,
But walls go up like architecture, measured, made to last,
Protection built so carefully from ghosts inside the past,
You give before you're asked and then you quietly retreat,
And wonder why the ones you love don't meet you there complete,

[PreChorus]
You don't have to stand alone to prove that you are strong,
The depth you've always hidden is exactly where you belong,

[Chorus]
You are the oak that bends but doesn't break,
The still deep water no one's crossed but can't mistake,
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
You were written by the cosmos, and the work is complete,

[Verse 3]
There's a quiet fire burning in a room no one has seen,
A discipline that carries you through everything between,
You've wrestled doubt into a muscle, turned the dark to coal,
To press it into diamonds somewhere deep inside your soul,
The world will always need the truth you've lived the hardest way,
What you call your burden is the gift you're here to give away,

[PreChorus]
You are not too much and you have never been too small,
Every rising took a falling and you've risen after all,

[Chorus]
You are the oak that bends but doesn't break,
The still deep water no one's crossed but can't mistake,
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
You were written by the cosmos, and the work is complete,

[Bridge]
The stars aligned with patience when they shaped the life you live,
Every wound became a language, every loss became a gift,
You are held inside a story older than your oldest doubt,
And the light that's always found you knows exactly where you are,

[Outro]
Rest here in the knowing you were never just enough,
You were more than that already, you were made of stronger stuff,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
You are held, you are whole, you are home,
