[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside you no one gets to see
A current running deeper than the surface of the sea
You feel everything twice, you carry it like stone
The world sees steady ground but you're navigating on your own
That sheltering heart of yours holds more than it lets show
You tend to everyone's fire while yours burns soft and low

[PreChorus]
But the depth in you is not a burden, it's a river finding form
Every wound you've turned to wisdom, every shelter built from storm

[Chorus]
You are ancient water running clear and true
You are rooted in the earth and reaching toward the blue
The kind of soul that holds the room without a word
The quietest kind of courage, always felt before it's heard

[Verse 2]
You love like something fearless and wide open at the start
A spark that moves before the mind can catch up with the heart
You've learned to guard the tender places, built your fences well
But what you keep behind those walls is something worth the tell
There's a hunger for the real in you, for truth without a seam
And you've carried so much longing for a life that matched your dream

[PreChorus]
But those longings made you faithful, made you refuse the counterfeit
Every hand you've ever given has been worth every bit

[Chorus]
You are ancient water running clear and true
You are rooted in the earth and reaching toward the blue
The kind of soul that holds the room without a word
The quietest kind of courage, always felt before it's heard

[Verse 3]
You've walked through transformation like it was your native tongue
Emerged from hidden fires still believing in what comes
Your mind sees through the surface, finds the fractures and the flaws
Not to tear apart the broken but to understand its cause
You've questioned every doorway, stood outside of borrowed creeds
Until you built a truth as wild and personal as seeds

[PreChorus]
And that restlessness you carry, it was never something wrong
It was the compass pointing inward where you've belonged all along

[Chorus]
You are ancient water running clear and true
You are rooted in the earth and reaching toward the blue
The kind of soul that holds the room without a word
The quietest kind of courage, always felt before it's heard

[Bridge]
The cosmos laid your bones along the February tide
And wrote a map of contradictions only you could learn to ride
You don't need the world to name you, you don't need to be explained
You were made for something lasting and you've always been that way

[Outro]
So let the current carry you, you've earned the open sea
You are held by something older than the weight of what you've been
Enough, already enough, before you say a word
You are ancient, you are grounded, you are finally, fully heard
