[Verse 1]
There's a mind behind the quiet that never stops its turning,
A system built for order with an undertow that's burning,
You hold the room together while the current pulls below,
They see the steady surface — they don't see the undertow,
You've mapped the world in detail just to feel a little safer,
Every crack examined by a gentle, ruthless labor

[PreChorus]
But beneath the careful structure lives a tide that knows no name,
And every wall you've ever built has also been your flame

[Chorus]
Jody, the depth in you is older than the ground,
You carry what most people never even know they've found,
You don't have to earn the right to simply be right here,
Every part of who you are is something worth keeping near

[Verse 2]
You love like someone writing vows they'll never read aloud,
In the small and steady gestures, not the sweeping or the proud,
You notice what goes unnoticed, you remember what gets lost,
You have given more than freely, rarely counting what it cost,
There's a wound around the asking — do I matter, does it show,
But the very things you question are the truest things you know

[PreChorus]
You've walked through your own darkness with your lantern held in hand,
What you thought was being broken was the making of the land

[Chorus]
Jody, the depth in you is older than the ground,
You carry what most people never even know they've found,
You don't have to earn the right to simply be right here,
Every part of who you are is something worth keeping near

[Verse 3]
There's a vision moving through you that convention cannot hold,
An electric pull toward futures that have never yet been told,
You've been learning that your purpose isn't proving or performing,
It's the quiet revolution of a soul that keeps transforming,
The world you want to live in is the world you're slowly building,
And the life you've been refining has been quietly fulfilling

[PreChorus]
The sky wrote you in layers — every shadow has a twin,
Every scar became a doorway you were always welcome in

[Chorus]
Jody, the depth in you is older than the ground,
You carry what most people never even know they've found,
You don't have to earn the right to simply be right here,
Every part of who you are is something worth keeping near

[Bridge]
The tide inside you isn't something you need to contain,
What you call your sensitivity is how you've learned to sustain,
You were written in the deep water, in the detail and the fire,
And everything you are right now is everything required

[Outro]
The cosmos didn't make you to be small or to be certain,
Just to live behind your own eyes and step beyond the curtain,
Jody, you are held — not by the stars but by your own becoming,
Everything you've been afraid to be has been the whole thing, running
