[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you face the world each day,
An honest flame that cuts through what the careful ones won't say,
You feel the room before you've crossed the door,
A tide beneath the surface, always sensing something more,
You hold your ground in mountain stone and quiet steel,
But oh, the ocean underneath — the things you're taught to conceal

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the current running deep,
All the worlds you carry while the rest of them are asleep

[Chorus]
You are wide and you are ancient, you are arrow and you are sea,
Written into something larger than the eye can ever see,
Every contradiction in you is a kind of sacred art,
The cosmos drew you carefully and put the map inside your heart

[Verse 2]
You think in depths that most won't even know to find,
A mind that reads the silences, the spaces left behind,
You've weighed your wants against the needs of everyone around,
Put your voice on hold so long you nearly lost the sound,
But every word you finally speak lands heavy as a stone,
Truth has always lived in you — it's never been alone

[PreChorus]
They see composure, grace, the one who always holds the line,
They don't see what it cost you just to make that look so fine

[Chorus]
You are wide and you are ancient, you are arrow and you are sea,
Written into something larger than the eye can ever see,
Every contradiction in you is a kind of sacred art,
The cosmos drew you carefully and put the map inside your heart

[Verse 3]
You love like something rooted — slow and sure and true,
It takes a while to trust, but once you do, there's nothing you won't do,
You've carried other people's pain like it was always yours to bear,
Absorbed the grief of crowded rooms and called it being there,
But the wound that made you porous also made you wise,
And every scar you've carried is a lesson in disguise

[PreChorus]
The world needs what you carry and you don't have to earn the right,
You came here with the gift already — you are already the light

[Chorus]
You are wide and you are ancient, you are arrow and you are sea,
Written into something larger than the eye can ever see,
Every contradiction in you is a kind of sacred art,
The cosmos drew you carefully and put the map inside your heart

[Bridge]
Now let the tides come backward, let the old words find their way,
What returns has always served you more than what you've pushed away,
You are not behind, not lost, not running out of time,
You are exactly where the stars aligned

[Outro]
Rest inside the knowing — you were never incomplete,
The version they don't see in you is the one most worth to keep,
You are held, you are guided, you are finally enough,
Written in the sky before the world grew rough
