[Verse 1]
There's a mountain in the way you hold your ground,
A stillness that the restless never found,
You carry what you've built like a second skin,
An ocean running quiet underneath within,
They see the patience, they don't see the cost,
All the tides you rode to reclaim what you lost

[PreChorus]
But every wall you raised was a foundation stone,
Every weight you bore was a seed you've grown

[Chorus]
You are ancient and you're tender at the same time,
Built from bedrock but you feel it all by moonlight,
The deepest rivers don't announce the way they run,
You were written by the cosmos, you were made to become

[Verse 2]
You love like something holy and unnamed,
Like you'd walk through every storm and not complain,
You give before you're asked, you feel before you speak,
You see the best in hearts the world has long since ceased to seek,
And yes, you've lost yourself inside another's need,
But that surrender was the mercy, not the bleed

[PreChorus]
The grace you pour on everyone around,
It belongs to you as much as you have found

[Chorus]
You are ancient and you're tender at the same time,
Built from bedrock but you feel it all by moonlight,
The deepest rivers don't announce the way they run,
You were written by the cosmos, you were made to become

[Verse 3]
There's a voice in you that's circling back again,
Like an old unfinished letter finding pen,
The words you swallowed down are rising now,
A reckoning you've earned, a quiet vow,
What went unheard is not what went unsaid,
Your language lives in everything you've led

[PreChorus]
The stars are turning slowly back to where it starts,
The old wound always pointed to the open parts

[Chorus]
You are ancient and you're tender at the same time,
Built from bedrock but you feel it all by moonlight,
The deepest rivers don't announce the way they run,
You were written by the cosmos, you were made to become

[Bridge]
Let the old tide carry nothing that you don't choose,
You are not the proving, you are not the bruise,
What recovers in the turning is already yours,
You were whole before you ever knocked on any doors

[Outro]
The sky has held your story from the very start,
Not to test you, but to show you the size of your own heart,
You don't need to earn the light that you already are,
Come home to yourself — you haven't ever been that far
