[Verse 1]
There's a fire that moves before the match is struck,
A mind already running, trading patience for luck,
But underneath that charge, there's an ocean running still,
A dream behind the doing, a soft voice beneath the will,
You've carried your whole family like a root beneath the ground,
The quietest kind of anchor — the kind they lean on without sound.

[PreChorus]
They see the spark, they miss the sea inside,
All that tender dreaming you were taught to hide.

[Chorus]
You are fire and water, you are compass and flame,
Gai, the cosmos wrote you and it knew your name,
You don't need permission to be all that you are,
You were already written in the language of the stars.

[Verse 2]
You've loved like something holy and impossible to hold,
You see the gold in people long before their gifts unfold,
And yes, you've given more than you were ever handed back,
You've stitched yourself from what the world told you that you lacked,
But every empty vessel you were asked to fill alone
Only proved the depth of what you carry as your own.

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see how you've bled,
All the miles you've traveled just inside your head.

[Chorus]
You are fire and water, you are compass and flame,
Gai, the cosmos wrote you and it knew your name,
You don't need permission to be all that you are,
You were already written in the language of the stars.

[Verse 3]
Your truth has always lived beyond the easy and the plain,
You've walked through reinvention like some people walk through rain,
The kind of mind that questions and refuses to stay small,
That builds a wider vision when the narrow ones would fall,
You've felt the weight of worth, convinced it had to be proved,
But nothing that was truly yours could ever be removed.

[PreChorus]
The horizon keeps on calling, and you know why —
You were made to move toward something more than the sky.

[Chorus]
You are fire and water, you are compass and flame,
Gai, the cosmos wrote you and it knew your name,
You don't need permission to be all that you are,
You were already written in the language of the stars.

[Verse 4]
There's a version of you no one's ever fully seen,
The mystic and the mover, every shade in between,
The one who carries wisdom like a lantern through the frost,
Who finds the meaning first and only later counts the cost,
You've always known the way home, even when the road went dark,
The map was never out there — it was always in your heart.

[PreChorus]
You are not a story someone else gets to define,
Every thread of who you are was always, always fine.

[Chorus]
You are fire and water, you are compass and flame,
Gai, the cosmos wrote you and it knew your name,
You don't need permission to be all that you are,
You were already written in the language of the stars.

[Bridge]
You are held by something older than your doubt,
Every scar became the thing you can't live without,
The world needs what you carry, every fracture, every grace,
You were never meant to shrink — you were meant to take up space.

[Outro]
So rest in who you are, let the journey be enough,
You were built for this exact, unfolding, beautiful stuff,
Gai, you are already home — you always were.
