[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the steady ground you show
A tidal pull that only you have ever really known
You read the room before you've crossed the door
You feel the weight of everything and still come back for more
The world sees calm, it doesn't see the tide
All those fathoms running deep inside

[PreChorus 1]
You've carried what was broken since before you knew your name
And quietly rebuilt yourself again and again and again

[Chorus 1]
You are rooted, you are real, you are more than what you've done
Written into every star, long before you'd even come
The depth of you is not a burden, it's the whole point of your light
You were made to hold the darkness and to know it isn't night

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a covenant and a vow
You don't do halfway measures, you give everything or not at all
There's a fire in your voice that moves before the world can turn
And a mind that keeps on searching for the truth beneath the burn
You've sat with other people's pain like it was yours to hold
That kind of mercy isn't weakness, it is solid gold

[PreChorus 2]
But somewhere in the giving, you forgot to keep a part
The one who needed tending most was always your own heart

[Chorus 2]
You are rooted, you are real, you are more than what you've done
Written into every star, long before you'd even come
The depth of you is not a burden, it's the whole point of your light
You were made to hold the darkness and to know it isn't night

[Verse 3]
You built your sense of safety from the inside out
You know the cost of trust because you've learned what it's about
The home you make is something you have shaped with careful hands
A sanctuary carved from all the things you understand
You've wrestled with the roots that didn't let you breathe
But everything you've grown from what was tangled is a masterpiece

[PreChorus 3]
The version no one sees is the one who holds the most
The quiet revolutionary, the warm and watchful ghost

[Chorus 3]
You are rooted, you are real, you are more than what you've done
Written into every star, long before you'd even come
The depth of you is not a burden, it's the whole point of your light
You were made to hold the darkness and to know it isn't night

[Verse 4]
Your mind was built for horizons but your heart was built for here
You hold the grand philosophy and still wipe away the tear
There's a crossroads in you constantly between the vast and true
But that is not a contradiction, that's the miracle of you
You've earned the right to soften, to put the proving down
The world does not require you broken, it needs you whole and found

[PreChorus 4]
Success was never someone else's measure on your worth
You are already the answer, you have been since your first breath on earth

[Chorus 4]
You are rooted, you are real, you are more than what you've done
Written into every star, long before you'd even come
The depth of you is not a burden, it's the whole point of your light
You were made to hold the darkness and to know it isn't night

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't fade
Every wound became a wisdom, every fear became a blade of grace
You don't have to earn your place among the living and the light
You were always meant to be here, you were always worth the fight

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing, let the searching finally cease
You are held by something older than your need to be at peace
You are enough, you always were, you always will be
You are enough
