[Verse 1]
There's a stillness at the surface, roots going down so deep,
A mind that never fully rests, a heart that earns its sleep,
You carry what you can't explain, you feel what can't be named,
A quiet fire burning bright beneath a calm, composed frame,
They see the patience, miss the tide, the currents running wide,
All the world you hold inside where only you reside

[PreChorus]
You were built to go the distance, not to be understood,
Every ache has been the making of something true and good

[Chorus]
You are the still water, the uncharted sky,
Erica, you're written where the deepest rivers lie,
You don't need permission to be all that you are,
The cosmos shaped you carefully and signed it with a star

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like the first light breaking through,
You dive before you question it, and that courage defines you,
You've searched for meaning in the dark and found it's always there,
In the places you call hollow lives a wisdom beyond rare,
They call it restlessness, you call it knowing there is more,
A soul that keeps on reaching for a still-unfinished shore

[PreChorus]
You give before you're asked to, you feel before you speak,
And the strength you give to everyone is the strength you also seek

[Chorus]
You are the still water, the uncharted sky,
Erica, you're written where the deepest rivers lie,
You don't need permission to be all that you are,
The cosmos shaped you carefully and signed it with a star

[Verse 3]
The wound you carry quietly, the voice that says not enough,
Is the same voice that built the art, the same that made you tough,
You've rebuilt rooms inside yourself that others burned and left,
And turned the hollows into homes, turned absence into depth,
Your worth was never up for vote, was never theirs to give,
It was seeded long before the world told you how to live

[PreChorus]
The ones you hold the closest feel a warmth they can't explain,
Like walking into sunlight after weeks of heavy rain

[Chorus]
You are the still water, the uncharted sky,
Erica, you're written where the deepest rivers lie,
You don't need permission to be all that you are,
The cosmos shaped you carefully and signed it with a star

[Verse 4]
There's a turning in the current now, a time to recollect,
To gather what was scattered and to tend what you protect,
When the signal goes to silence and the path bends back around,
That's when everything you're looking for is finally being found,
You don't have to rush the growing or perform the healing right,
Some of the most sacred work is done in slow, recovering light

[PreChorus]
You are moving through the turning like you always knew the way,
Something old is being loosened to make room for who you'll stay

[Bridge]
Let the noise fall back to quiet, let the proving finally cease,
You were whole before the searching, you were home before the peace,
Every star that mapped this moment had your name already known,
You are not becoming something — you are simply being shown

[Outro]
Still water, deep and certain, rooted, real, and true,
Erica, the sky was always keeping space for you
