[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath that steady face you wear
A tide that moves through everything, a weight you rarely share
You think in feelings first, in memory and in light
A mind that reads the room before the words come out right
The warmth you give comes easy, but you guard what's yours alone
You've built a whole world inward — and it's where you feel most home

[PreChorus]
But the fire in you won't stay quiet underground
There's a horizon calling and it will not be ignored

[Chorus]
You are the still water and the open road
The keeper of the flame and the one who lets it go
You carry more than anyone has stopped to ask you why
You were written in the deep — you were mapped across the sky

[Verse 2]
You love like conversation, like a door that's left ajar
You need the room to wander but you always find the star
And when you give your trust it isn't given light or thin
It's ancient, it's deliberate — it costs you something genuine
You've felt the sting of longing for a place you can't quite name
A family of the chosen kind that loves you all the same

[PreChorus]
The wound you carry quietly became the thing you know
And what you thought was broken turned to everything you've grown

[Chorus]
You are the still water and the open road
The keeper of the flame and the one who lets it go
You carry more than anyone has stopped to ask you why
You were written in the deep — you were mapped across the sky

[Verse 3]
The world has seen the confidence, the boldness in your stride
Leo rising, lion-faced, but Cancer on the inside
You've learned to move before the moment catches up to you
A fire that acts on instinct and a heart that follows through
But somewhere in the in-between of dreaming and the ground
You're building something lasting out of everything you've found

[PreChorus]
You don't have to keep proving that you're worthy of the light
What the cosmos carved into you was already made right

[Chorus]
You are the still water and the open road
The keeper of the flame and the one who lets it go
You carry more than anyone has stopped to ask you why
You were written in the deep — you were mapped across the sky

[Bridge]
Every scar became a doorway, every doubt became a tool
The universe was patient while it shaped you something true
You are not a work in progress waiting to be done
You are already whole — you were whole before you'd begun

[Outro]
So rest inside the knowing, let the searching finally breathe
Everything you're looking for has always lived in you
The stars don't make mistakes — and they didn't make one here
