[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside you no one ever names
A current running deep beneath the surface of your days
You hold the world together with a quiet, steady hand
But underneath the stillness, there's a sea they don't understand
You feel everything at once and still you stand like stone
The softest kind of strong there is — a harbor and a home

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the undertow
All that you carry, all that only you will know

[Chorus]
You are ancient water and unyielding ground
A whole universe of feeling that the world hasn't found
You don't have to earn the right to finally be enough
You were written in the deep end, and the deep end made you tough

[Verse 2]
You love like it's a covenant, like something sworn and true
You notice what goes unnoticed and you give before it's due
The way you fold your tenderness into the work you do
Is its own kind of devotion, rare and quiet and true
But the heart that tends to everyone still hungers to be fed
You deserve the same devotion that you pour out without end

[PreChorus]
There's a fire underneath the careful way you move
A soul too large for fitting into anybody's groove

[Chorus]
You are ancient water and unyielding ground
A whole universe of feeling that the world hasn't found
You don't have to earn the right to finally be enough
You were written in the deep end, and the deep end made you tough

[Verse 3]
You've lived inside the tension between hunger and control
Between the mountain and the moonlight fighting battles in your soul
You've kept your deepest wanting behind every careful wall
And called it being steady when it felt like standing small
But every wall you built was just a testament to this —
That even guarded, you were made for something more than this

[PreChorus]
The wound you carry quietly became the light you give
The heaviest things you've carried taught you how to live

[Chorus]
You are ancient water and unyielding ground
A whole universe of feeling that the world hasn't found
You don't have to earn the right to finally be enough
You were written in the deep end, and the deep end made you tough

[Verse 4]
Your mind moves like electricity through corridors of dark
You've always thought in symbols, always followed some strange spark
There's a purpose woven through you like a thread you cannot break
Every scar became a compass, every loss became awake
The world you're building quietly is one the rest can't see
But what you carry in your depths is yours — and it runs free

[PreChorus]
The cosmos didn't shape you just to keep you small and still
There is something in your marrow that is moving, and it will

[Chorus]
You are ancient water and unyielding ground
A whole universe of feeling that the world hasn't found
You don't have to earn the right to finally be enough
You were written in the deep end, and the deep end made you tough

[Bridge]
Let the tide come in, let the mountain hold
You don't have to choose between the fire and the cold
Every broken open place has let in more light
You were never lost — you were becoming, all this time

[Outro]
You are ancient water, you are unyielding ground
All that you have been and are — it's finally found
Rest here, you are held, you have always been enough
