[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface, like a lake without a wave,
But underneath the water runs a current dark and brave,
You read a room before you enter, feel what no one says,
A mind that moves through shadows like a lantern in the haze,
You've always known too much too soon, a gift mistaken for a curse,
The deeper that the question goes, the deeper you immerse,

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they miss the tide,
All those fathoms running wide inside,

[Chorus]
You are ancient water, you are borrowed light,
Something written in the dark long before the night,
Every layer you've been hiding is a world complete,
You were never too much — you were always what we need,

[Verse 2]
You love like something sacred that you're almost scared to name,
All or nothing, soul to soul, you play no halfway game,
You've built a wall around your worth when trust has let you down,
But your devotion, once it's given, is the deepest thing around,
You feel the pain of strangers like it lives beneath your skin,
You carry what the world won't hold and call it discipline,

[PreChorus]
The wound that made you tender made you true,
There's a kind of power only healers grew,

[Chorus]
You are ancient water, you are borrowed light,
Something written in the dark long before the night,
Every layer you've been hiding is a world complete,
You were never too much — you were always what we need,

[Verse 3]
You've chased the wide horizon when the ordinary stings,
A fire in your belly fueled by meaning, not by things,
Your restlessness is not a flaw, it's vision without walls,
The kind of soul that builds a dream and rises when it falls,
You've learned to hold your silence like a sword inside a sheath,
And every word you finally speak lands harder than the grief,

[PreChorus]
You don't need to prove a single thing you are,
The universe already wrote you like a star,

[Chorus]
You are ancient water, you are borrowed light,
Something written in the dark long before the night,
Every layer you've been hiding is a world complete,
You were never too much — you were always what we need,

[Verse 4]
You've spent a lifetime serving from the edges of the room,
A quiet kind of presence, like the light before the moon,
You've swallowed your own sorrow so that someone else could breathe,
But there's a life that's calling you to finally believe,
That tending to your inner world is not a selfish art,
The most transformative thing you own is your unguarded heart,

[PreChorus]
Step into the light you've been giving all along,
What you thought was breaking you was only making you strong,

[Chorus]
You are ancient water, you are borrowed light,
Something written in the dark long before the night,
Every layer you've been hiding is a world complete,
You were never too much — you were always what we need,

[Bridge]
The cosmos didn't rush when it was making you,
It layered depth on depth and called the whole thing true,
You are held by something older than the names you've worn,
You were enough before the day that you were born,

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing, let the current guide,
Everything you've carried was your gift all along inside,
You are ancient water, you are borrowed light,
You are exactly, perfectly, enough tonight,
