[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold the world at bay,
A quiet kind of knowing in the things you never say,
They see the steady surface, they don't see the tide,
All those oceans running deep, all that current held inside,
You carry what you feel like roots beneath the ground,
The kind of strength that doesn't need to make a sound

[PreChorus]
But the fire in you rises when the ones you love need light,
You move the whole earth sideways when you're fighting for what's right

[Chorus]
You are rooted and you're radiant, ancient and alive,
Built from everything that broke you, every way you learned to thrive,
The world is held a little warmer when you're in the room,
You were written by the cosmos and they wrote you to bloom

[Verse 2]
You've wrestled with the question of whether you belong,
Tried to prove your worth through doing, worked to carry on so strong,
But the way you love is evidence enough of who you are,
You don't have to earn your place beneath the light of every star,
You give before you're asked, you feel before they speak,
That tenderness you carry is the rarest thing to keep

[PreChorus]
Some read you as unshakeable and never stop to ask,
What it costs to be the shelter when you're hurting behind the mask

[Chorus]
You are rooted and you're radiant, ancient and alive,
Built from everything that broke you, every way you learned to thrive,
The world is held a little warmer when you're in the room,
You were written by the cosmos and they wrote you to bloom

[Verse 3]
There's a longing in you reaching past the edges of belief,
A restless kind of searching underneath your sense of peace,
You've questioned every story that was handed to you young,
Rebuilt your own cathedral from the ruins of someone's tongue,
That hunger for the truth of things, that deep refusal to pretend,
Is the very thread of light that guides you forward in the end

[PreChorus]
You were made to stand where certainty runs dry,
To find the sacred in the questions, not the answer, not the why

[Chorus]
You are rooted and you're radiant, ancient and alive,
Built from everything that broke you, every way you learned to thrive,
The world is held a little warmer when you're in the room,
You were written by the cosmos and they wrote you to bloom

[Bridge]
Every scar became a compass, every wound became a well,
Every wall you built to hold you has a story worth to tell,
You are not too much, you're not too soft, you're not too deep,
You are exactly what the world was meant to keep

[Outro]
So rest inside the knowing you were always enough,
The stars don't make them steady if they weren't made of love,
You are guided, you are held, you are whole
