[Verse 1]
There's a fire in you that moves before the world can turn
A quiet kind of courage that the surface doesn't show
You carry tides inside you, deep and slow to churn
And the things you feel the strongest are the things they'll never know
You've built your life with patient hands, with roots down in the ground
A steadfast kind of beauty, like the earth before the sound

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide
All those currents running wild inside

[Chorus]
You are the flame that burns behind the door
The ocean and the shoreline and the stillness at the core
You don't need to prove the light that you already are
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades a scar

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a season, like a vow
With your whole self or nothing, you don't know the middle ground
You've swallowed your own longing just to keep the peace somehow
Given more than you were given, asked for little, asked for less
But devotion isn't weakness when it lives inside your chest

[PreChorus]
You've held so much for everyone
Now let someone hold the weight you've become

[Chorus]
You are the flame that burns behind the door
The ocean and the shoreline and the stillness at the core
You don't need to prove the light that you already are
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades a scar

[Verse 3]
There's a healer in your history and a dreamer in your bones
You've walked through rooms of shadow just to bring somebody home
The world called you too sensitive, too much, too hard to place
But that porousness is power and that depth is not a flaw
You see beneath the surface and you honor what you saw

[PreChorus]
Every wound became a doorway, every scar a kind of key
You were always more than enough, just as you came to be

[Chorus]
You are the flame that burns behind the door
The ocean and the shoreline and the stillness at the core
You don't need to prove the light that you already are
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades a scar

[Bridge]
Come home to yourself, you have nothing to earn
The fire in your marrow is yours, let it burn
You were mapped by something patient, something wide, something true
There is nothing in this universe that isn't rooting for you

[Outro]
You are the calm, you are the tide
You are the light you've been looking for your whole life
Held by the stars, grounded in grace
There was never a moment you didn't belong in this place
