[Verse 1]
There's a fire underneath the still water you show
A tide that runs deeper than anyone knows
You carry your family like roots in your chest
The ones who shaped you, the ones you protect
They see the surface, the calm and the grace
They don't see the ocean behind your face

[PreChorus]
You've held the weight of the world like it's yours alone to keep
But the strongest hearts are the ones that learned to go deep

[Chorus]
Zarah, you were written in the dark and the light
A soul too wide for the edge of the night
Every hidden tide, every scar that you bear
Is the proof of a life too alive not to care

[Verse 2]
You love like it costs you, and sometimes it does
You give before asking, because that's what love was
You reach for the balance, the beautiful and fair
You build it so carefully, lay it out bare
But when the scales tip heavy and nobody sees
You're still holding steady in the evening breeze

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn what was always already true
There is nothing left to prove — the world was made for you

[Chorus]
Zarah, you were written in the dark and the light
A soul too wide for the edge of the night
Every hidden tide, every scar that you bear
Is the proof of a life too alive not to care

[Verse 3]
You question the meaning, you sit with the ache
Of a world that keeps asking how much you can take
But that restlessness in you is not something to fix
It's a compass that's learning which truths you should pick
The wound you kept quiet became its own door
And what broke you open let in something more

[PreChorus]
The things you couldn't say became the light you finally found
And the silence you survived became your sacred ground

[Chorus]
Zarah, you were written in the dark and the light
A soul too wide for the edge of the night
Every hidden tide, every scar that you bear
Is the proof of a life too alive not to care

[Verse 4]
You weren't built for the box they were handing around
You were built for the kind of love that stays found
You move before the world has finished its thought
You trust what you feel more than anything taught
The path doesn't follow the shape of the crowd
And that's exactly why you were made this loud

[PreChorus]
Let the stars that mapped you speak the thing you feared to say
You were never lost — you were always on your way

[Bridge]
You are ancient and new, you are tender and whole
There's a universe turning inside of your soul
You don't need to be perfect — just present, just real
The cosmos wrote you carefully with something that heals

[Outro]
Zarah, let the night hold what the day couldn't keep
You are known, you are loved, you are finally free
