[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the marrow, a tide beneath the stone,
A mind that maps the horizon while the heart guards home,
You speak the truth before the room has caught its breath,
You've carried whole battalions on a frame built to protect,
They see the steady surface, they don't read the undertow,
The ocean in you runs so deep, they'll never know how low

[PreChorus]
But everything you've swallowed made you harder to break,
And every quiet battle carved a depth nobody takes

[Chorus]
You are ancient water dressed in armor and light,
A compass always spinning but it always points right,
The weight you've worn was never proof that you were wrong,
It was evidence, all along, of just how strong

[Verse 2]
You love like something sovereign, uncontained and wide,
Friendship first, then the marrow, then the depths inside,
You don't need the standard script to know how to give,
You build a home inside your chest for the ones you let live,
But you've stood outside your own door in the dark alone,
Feeding every wandering soul and saving none for home

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the right to rest inside your own,
You were worthy at the roots long before you had grown

[Chorus]
You are ancient water dressed in armor and light,
A compass always spinning but it always points right,
The weight you've worn was never proof that you were wrong,
It was evidence, all along, of just how strong

[Verse 3]
There's a healer in the making who descended into flame,
Who came back up through silence carrying no name,
The inner critic learned its sharpness from a world too hard to trust,
But that scrutiny's a lantern now, not judgment — it's a must,
Your purpose isn't hidden, it was sewn into your seams,
To stand inside the wreckage and rebuild it into dreams

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote you carefully in ink that doesn't fade,
You are not the sum of what you've lost, but all you've made

[Chorus]
You are ancient water dressed in armor and light,
A compass always spinning but it always points right,
The weight you've worn was never proof that you were wrong,
It was evidence, all along, of just how strong

[Bridge]
You don't have to be unbroken to be whole,
You don't have to be fearless to be brave,
Every wound you ever carried lit a candle in the dark,
And led somebody else right out the cave

[Outro]
The stars above you haven't moved, they're still holding your name,
You've always been enough — you just forgot you came
Put the armor down and let the tide come in,
You are home, you have always been
