[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you move before the world can speak,
A current running fathoms deep beneath the calm you keep,
You lead with both the thunder and the tide inside your chest,
A poet and a pioneer, relentless and at rest,
They see the one who shows up first, who carries more than half,
They don't see all the oceans that you cross to make them laugh

[PreChorus]
But every wave that pulled you under taught you how to breathe,
And everything you've carried quietly made you more than what they see

[Chorus]
You are the fire and the water, you are ancient and you're new,
A compass sewn into the cosmos, pointing always back to you,
You don't need to keep on earning what was written in your bones,
You were mapped before you started, and you've never been alone

[Verse 2]
You love like something timeless, like a door you leave unlocked,
Like a letter left for someone who arrives when least expected,
You give before you're asked to, you forgive before the fall,
But somewhere in the giving you forget to give it all to you,
You've stood inside the ruins of a love too big to hold,
And turned the pieces into something luminous and whole

[PreChorus]
The armor you've been wearing was never meant to stay,
What you call your hesitation is just wisdom finding its way

[Chorus]
You are the fire and the water, you are ancient and you're new,
A compass sewn into the cosmos, pointing always back to you,
You don't need to keep on earning what was written in your bones,
You were mapped before you started, and you've never been alone

[Verse 3]
Your mind arrives at truth the way the moon arrives at shore,
Not in straight lines, but in tides that know exactly what they're for,
There's a vision you've been carrying that the ordinary can't contain,
You were built to lead with meaning, to turn purpose into flame,
The world has heard your voice and felt the weight of what you bring,
But the quietest room you've ever changed was somewhere deep within

[PreChorus]
The life you've lived has not been wasted, not a single fractured part,
Every question you've been asking has been sculpting something sacred in your heart

[Chorus]
You are the fire and the water, you are ancient and you're new,
A compass sewn into the cosmos, pointing always back to you,
You don't need to keep on earning what was written in your bones,
You were mapped before you started, and you've never been alone

[Bridge]
Come home to what you are beneath the proving and the weight,
The stars didn't make a rough draft, they made you deliberate,
There's a grace in all your contradictions, a design inside the storm,
You were never lost, just learning that your wholeness is your form

[Outro]
So rest inside the fire, let the tide come rolling in,
Every ending was a doorway you were always meant to begin,
You were written by the cosmos with an ink that never fades
