[Verse 1]
There's a scale inside you, always weighing what is true,
A mind that reads the room before the room has a clue,
You carry grace like armor and your silence speaks in gold,
There's an ocean underneath the calm that very few are told,
You've learned to guard the tenderest parts like something breakable,
But everything you've locked away has made you unshakeable,

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, they don't see the tide,
All those fathoms you have learned to hide,

[Chorus]
You are the balance and the storm at once,
The steady hand, the fire that never dulls,
Written in the long and careful dark of space,
You were always meant to take up this much place,

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a covenant sworn at birth,
You give before you're asked and call that giving what you're worth,
You've talked yourself out of needing what you needed all along,
Convinced yourself the wanting made you somehow less than strong,
But every room remembers you, the way you made it feel,
That quiet kind of presence is the rarest thing that's real,

[PreChorus]
You've built whole worlds for other hands to hold,
It's time the world you carry was your own,

[Chorus]
You are the balance and the storm at once,
The steady hand, the fire that never dulls,
Written in the long and careful dark of space,
You were always meant to take up this much place,

[Verse 3]
A mind that cuts through marrow, sees the truth beneath the skin,
A spirit wide as horizons pulling meaning back again,
You've walked through enough darkness that the light feels like your own,
You've turned the weight of every scar into a stepping stone,
Now something in the cosmos shifts and whispers your direction,
A door swings wide, and you were built precisely for this moment,

[PreChorus]
The path that scared you most is where you shine,
The stars have always known your borderline,

[Chorus]
You are the balance and the storm at once,
The steady hand, the fire that never dulls,
Written in the long and careful dark of space,
You were always meant to take up this much place,

[Bridge]
You don't have to be perfect to be chosen,
You don't have to be whole before you begin,
The universe has kept the door wide open,
And everything you are is let back in,

[Outro]
So rest inside the knowing you are held,
The deepest part of you has always known,
You are enough, exactly as you dwell,
You were never, ever walking this alone,
