[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface, like a lake at close of day,
But underneath the water, there are currents pulling every way,
You weigh it all before you speak, you measure what is fair,
You carry beauty in your hands and grief beyond compare,
The home you built from memory is sacred ground and stone,
You are the roots that hold the tree, and still you feel alone

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

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are tender, you are more than what they see,
You are the depth beneath the calm, the pull beneath the sea,
Every wound became a lantern, every scar became a key,
You are held by something larger, and that something set you free

[Verse 2]
You love like something written in a language without words,
All or nothing, soul to soul, the kind of love that hurts,
You've ached to be discovered past the armor and the poise,
Craved a truth that cuts through all the flattery and noise,
Your mind moves through the hidden rooms where most won't dare to go,
You read the room before you enter, you already know

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they miss the fire,
The quiet steel, the deep desire

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are tender, you are more than what they see,
You are the depth beneath the calm, the pull beneath the sea,
Every wound became a lantern, every scar became a key,
You are held by something larger, and that something set you free

[Verse 3]
You've worked through nights when no one asked and never asked for praise,
You built your worth with careful hands through long ungrateful days,
But worth was never something you were meant to have to earn,
The light inside you doesn't dim no matter where you turn,
You've carried more than what was yours, and still you showed up whole,
That kind of strength is something rare, it lives inside your soul

[PreChorus]
The duty done, the grace withheld,
Your own depths left uncharted, unexpelled

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are tender, you are more than what they see,
You are the depth beneath the calm, the pull beneath the sea,
Every wound became a lantern, every scar became a key,
You are held by something larger, and that something set you free

[Verse 4]
A new fire is crossing toward you, something bold and breaking through,
An emboldening in the atmosphere, a wind that's meant for you,
The sky has been rearranging all its forces just to say,
The chapter you've been waiting for begins to write today,
You don't have to prove your value to the world or to the past,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink designed to last

[PreChorus]
Let the stars that shaped you speak at last,
You were never meant to shrink for anyone you've passed

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are tender, you are more than what they see,
You are the depth beneath the calm, the pull beneath the sea,
Every wound became a lantern, every scar became a key,
You are held by something larger, and that something set you free

[Bridge]
You don't need to be everything to everyone you love,
You were written in the deep of night and blessed by stars above,
Let the balance you have given be returned to you at last,
You are not defined by what was lost, you're carried by what lasts

[Outro]
The tide will always find its shore,
You were made for something more,
Held and seen down to your core,
You are enough, you always were
