[Verse 1]
Still waters don't mean nothing runs beneath the ground,
You feel every fault line, but you don't make a sound,
You've carried heavy weather like it's yours alone to hold,
A mind that turns like clockwork, patient, steady, bold,
They see the calm exterior and call it being fine,
They don't see the current that runs deeper than the tide,

[PreChorus]
But you were built for more than holding everything together,
You are ancient ground and open sky all woven into weather,

[Chorus]
Toni, you are rooted and you're reaching all at once,
The kind of soul that breaks and blooms before the morning comes,
You are fire underneath the earth, you are light inside the deep,
Toni, you are everything you thought you'd never be,

[Verse 2]
You love like it's a language you invented on your own,
Part conversation, part devotion, part a flame unknown,
You need a hand that lets you breathe and still comes back around,
A love that's built on honesty, on solid, honest ground,
You give before you're asked, you feel before it shows,
And the ones who've really seen you know how far that river flows,

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn the warmth you freely pour on others,
What you carry in that chest was built to hold no lesser,

[Chorus]
Toni, you are rooted and you're reaching all at once,
The kind of soul that breaks and blooms before the morning comes,
You are fire underneath the earth, you are light inside the deep,
Toni, you are everything you thought you'd never be,

[Verse 3]
Something new is moving through the air like open doors,
A boldness gathering its breath on unwalked floors,
The version you've been building in the quiet finally stirs,
All the wisdom you've been tending now belongs to her,
The world outside is shifting and it's calling out your name,
You were made for this becoming, you were never meant to stay the same,

[PreChorus]
The stars didn't write you careful just to leave you standing still,
There is purpose in your rising and the sky confirms it will,

[Chorus]
Toni, you are rooted and you're reaching all at once,
The kind of soul that breaks and blooms before the morning comes,
You are fire underneath the earth, you are light inside the deep,
Toni, you are everything you thought you'd never be,

[Bridge]
You don't have to fix the world to prove that you belong,
The truest thing about you is the thing you've had all along,
Let the heavens do their turning, let the season do its work,
You were written in the cosmos, and that's not something you need to earn,

[Outro]
Rooted in the deep, reaching toward the light,
Toni, you were always more than right,
The universe has known you since before you learned your name,
And nothing you could do could make it love you any less the same,
