[Verse 1]
Still waters on the surface, but the undertow runs deep,
A world beneath the quiet that the waking eye can't see,
Patient as the stone that holds the river in its place,
Carrying every memory like a map beneath the face,
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All that ancient knowing you keep locked inside.

[PreChorus]
You were built for more than what they chose to see,
There's a lionheart behind that still simplicity.

[Chorus]
You are earth and you are ocean, you are ember, you are bone,
You are rooted deep enough to weather any storm alone,
Every wound became a doorway, every scar a kind of song,
You were never too much, never too little — you belong.

[Verse 2]
You love like something permanent, like soil after rain,
You give before you're asked to give and rarely name the pain,
There's a fire in the way you speak that moves before the thought,
And a depth in what you carry that can never be untaught,
You've earned your own authority but still you second-guess,
That quiet power in your chest deserves to be expressed.

[PreChorus]
The world you built from ruins holds more beauty than you know,
You are not what hurt you — you're the garden that still grows.

[Chorus]
You are earth and you are ocean, you are ember, you are bone,
You are rooted deep enough to weather any storm alone,
Every wound became a doorway, every scar a kind of song,
You were never too much, never too little — you belong.

[Verse 3]
The stage was always waiting for the self you kept inside,
Not for show, but just to live without the need to hide,
You've carried generations in the marrow of your name,
And you'll be the one who breaks the chain and won't pass on the pain,
Your purpose isn't proven by the approval that you've chased,
It was written in the stars before the world had set the pace.

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn the space you've always had the right to fill,
The cosmos wrote you carefully — and every word holds still.

[Chorus]
You are earth and you are ocean, you are ember, you are bone,
You are rooted deep enough to weather any storm alone,
Every wound became a doorway, every scar a kind of song,
You were never too much, never too little — you belong.

[Bridge]
Let the tide inside you rise without apology,
You are guided and you're grounded and you're finally free,
The light you are to others is the light you get to keep,
You are held by something ancient, and it runs so very deep.

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing that the sky was mapped for you,
You are whole in every fracture, you are real in all you do,
The stars don't make mistakes — and darling, neither do you.
