[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you hold your ground,
A quiet kind of thunder, barely making sound,
You carry what you've built like stones across your spine,
And call it just your duty, never call it sacrifice or time,
The world sees the stillness, they don't see the tide,
All those fathoms running deep inside

[PreChorus]
You've chased the perfect version of the things you love,
But every crack you've carried is what you're made of

[Chorus]
You are rooted like the oldest kind of oak,
You are every honest word you ever spoke,
The light that never asked to be believed,
You are more than all the lives you've relieved

[Verse 2]
You think in electric currents, bold and wide,
A mind that moves ahead before the world can ride,
You love in careful gestures, in the things you do,
A hand that fixes what is broken, quiet and true,
You never make a scene of all you give away,
But the ones who know you feel it every day

[PreChorus]
The weight you've shouldered never made you small,
It made you the kind of man who answers when they call

[Chorus]
You are rooted like the oldest kind of oak,
You are every honest word you ever spoke,
The light that never asked to be believed,
You are more than all the lives you've relieved

[Verse 3]
You've walked through hell to find what's real and true,
And surfaced every time with something new,
The questions that keep circling in your chest,
Aren't proof of doubt, they're proof you never rest,
A compass forged from everything you've known,
Pointing back to where you've always been at home

[PreChorus]
The stars wrote something careful in the way you were made,
A legacy of depth that time will never fade

[Chorus]
You are rooted like the oldest kind of oak,
You are every honest word you ever spoke,
The light that never asked to be believed,
You are more than all the lives you've relieved

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
You were never just the sum of what you complete,
Let the tide come in, let the armor fall away,
Everything you are has always been enough to stay

[Outro]
The moon remembers every road you've ever crossed,
And nothing that you've loved has ever been lost,
You are held by something older than your name,
And the world is better, quietly, because you came
