[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface, but a current underneath,
A mind that reads the room before the first word leaves the teeth,
You carry what you've witnessed like a river carries stone,
You've learned the weight of silence and you've learned to hold your own,
The world sees calm composure, doesn't see the depth you keep,
An ocean with a locked door and an endless, restless sleep,

[PreChorus]
But every layer that you've guarded is a testament to grace,
And everything you've carried has been shaping something great,

[Chorus]
You are more than what they've measured, more than what they've seen,
You are ancient in your knowing, you are vast and in-between,
The darkness you've descended through has made you who you are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully and named you like a star,

[Verse 2]
You love like something borderless, like open road and sky,
You give before they ask you and you never question why,
But somewhere in the giving there's a hunger to be known,
To have someone cross the distance and not leave you there alone,
You crave a bond that's honest, that can hold what you hold back,
A love that meets you fully, nothing missing, nothing cracked,

[PreChorus]
The way you love is ancient, it was never meant to hide,
It's the truest kind of offering, a fire turned inside,

[Chorus]
You are more than what they've measured, more than what they've seen,
You are ancient in your knowing, you are vast and in-between,
The darkness you've descended through has made you who you are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully and named you like a star,

[Verse 3]
You've carried quiet burdens in the places no one finds,
The kind that live behind the eyes and echo through the mind,
A wound so deeply hidden that it almost feels like home,
But compassion is your armor and you've never been alone,
You've tended to the broken with a tenderness that heals,
You've touched the world so gently that it barely knows it feels,

[PreChorus]
The solitude that shaped you is the soil where you grow,
And every seed you planted in the dark is starting to show,

[Chorus]
You are more than what they've measured, more than what they've seen,
You are ancient in your knowing, you are vast and in-between,
The darkness you've descended through has made you who you are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully and named you like a star,

[Verse 4]
Your roots are reaching homeward, past the striving and the climb,
You've earned the right to soften, you've been proving it your whole life,
There's a purpose burning through you like a lantern in the deep,
The kind of light that other people carry in their sleep,
You were built for transformation, for the turning and the rise,
For descending into shadow and returning with your eyes,

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn the space you take or justify your worth,
You were written in the heavens long before you touched the earth,

[Chorus]
You are more than what they've measured, more than what they've seen,
You are ancient in your knowing, you are vast and in-between,
The darkness you've descended through has made you who you are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully and named you like a star,

[Bridge]
Let the armor that you've worn so long begin to find its rest,
What you've called your imperfection is the marrow of your best,
You are rooted, you are held here, you are finally allowed,
To be exactly who you are, and say it clear and loud,

[Outro]
The tides inside you answer to a moon that understands,
You were always whole already, you were always in good hands,
Rest now in the knowing that the sky has always known your name,
You were never lost, just finding your way home again,
