[Verse 1]
You move through rooms like water reads a shore,
Feeling everything that others can't ignore,
Your mind speaks in metaphors, in tides, in light,
What looks like stillness is an ocean overnight,
You carry visions other people rarely find,
A quiet revolution running through your mind,

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, steady and composed,
They don't see the universe you hold,

[Chorus]
Terry, you were written in the deep,
Every truth you've gathered, yours to keep,
What they couldn't name in you was always true,
The stars spent years becoming someone just like you,

[Verse 2]
You've swallowed fire just to keep the peace,
Built your love like stone, slow-quarried, piece by piece,
Your heart gives without banners, without noise,
Behind the measured calm, a deep devoted voice,
You've loved like something ancient at its root,
Loyal to the bone before you ask for proof,

[PreChorus]
You've walked through rooms where no one knew your name,
And still you found a reason not to change,

[Chorus]
Terry, you were written in the deep,
Every truth you've gathered, yours to keep,
What they couldn't name in you was always true,
The stars spent years becoming someone just like you,

[Verse 3]
You've felt the pull of somewhere you can't see,
A distant horizon that keeps calling you to be,
The hunger in your chest is not a flaw to cure,
It's a compass pointing forward, pointing sure,
You've climbed through shadow just to understand,
And every fall was knowledge in your hand,

[PreChorus]
The world beyond the edge was always yours,
You were born already reaching for the door,

[Chorus]
Terry, you were written in the deep,
Every truth you've gathered, yours to keep,
What they couldn't name in you was always true,
The stars spent years becoming someone just like you,

[Verse 4]
You've asked yourself if you were ever quite enough,
If the tender parts of you should have been more tough,
But the wound that made you careful made you kind,
And the ache that kept you searching sharpened your design,
You don't need to earn the right to take up space,
The universe already wrote you into place,

[PreChorus]
The question was never whether you belong,
You were meant to carry all of this, and more,

[Bridge]
Let the tide in you be what it needs to be,
Every contradiction is a part of the complete,
You are not behind, you are not too much or small,
You were made for this, for all of it, all,

[Chorus]
Terry, you were written in the deep,
Every truth you've gathered, yours to keep,
What they couldn't name in you was always true,
The stars spent years becoming someone just like you,

[Outro]
The current always knew where it was going,
And so do you, and so do you,
Rest in what the water has been showing,
You are home, you always knew,
