[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface, calm and composed,
But underneath the water, whole oceans are enclosed,
You read the room before you speak, you see through every lie,
A mind that moves in layers where the shallow dare not dive,
You've carried other people's weight and called it your own role,
The depth they see is just the shore — they haven't found your soul

[PreChorus]
They see the grace, they miss the tide,
All those fathoms running deep inside

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are fire, you are more than what they've seen,
You are the roots beneath the storm, the quiet and the keen,
Every truth you've held in silence still burns with steady light,
You are whole, you are enough, you were written right

[Verse 2]
You love like it's a covenant, not just a passing thing,
You give the kind of loyalty that reshapes everything,
And yes, you've built your walls up high when trust was cut too thin,
But walls that tall take that much love to have been hurt within,
What some would call intensity, you know it as your truth,
A heart that only burns that bright when it believes in you

[PreChorus]
You've ached for something real and deep,
Not love that's borrowed — love to keep

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are fire, you are more than what they've seen,
You are the roots beneath the storm, the quiet and the keen,
Every truth you've held in silence still burns with steady light,
You are whole, you are enough, you were written right

[Verse 3]
There's a lion in your longing and a crown you rarely wear,
You show up for the world with such impossible care,
The stage was always waiting but the fear said stay behind,
That doubt was never wisdom — it was armor for a mind
That felt too much too often and protected what it built,
But brilliance isn't arrogance and passion isn't guilt

[PreChorus]
The recognition that you need
Was always yours — you just must believe

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are fire, you are more than what they've seen,
You are the roots beneath the storm, the quiet and the keen,
Every truth you've held in silence still burns with steady light,
You are whole, you are enough, you were written right

[Verse 4]
You've wrestled between freedom and the structure that you know,
Between the dream you're holding and the seeds you need to sow,
You've felt the weight of legacy before you had the words,
You've sensed the things that go unsaid and heard the things unheard,
But every wound became a doorway, every loss a deepened view,
The cosmos didn't break you — it was carving space for you

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn the right to stay,
You were mapped for this before your first day

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are fire, you are more than what they've seen,
You are the roots beneath the storm, the quiet and the keen,
Every truth you've held in silence still burns with steady light,
You are whole, you are enough, you were written right

[Bridge]
Stop apologizing for the size of what you feel,
The world you hold inside you is extraordinary and real,
You were never too much — you were always just enough,
The stars wrote you with purpose, and the ink was made of love

[Outro]
So rest inside the knowing, let the tide come in,
Everything you are was everything you've always been
