[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface, but a current underneath,
A mind that reads the room before the others even breathe,
You carry what you've come from like a lantern in your hands,
And the roots you grew in silence are the ones that let you stand,
They see the composure, they don't see the weight you hold,
A soul forged deep in feeling, precise and quiet and bold

[PreChorus 1]
You've given more than anyone has thought to ask or count,
And the ocean inside you still hasn't found its mouth

[Chorus 1]
You are ancient and you're searching, you are steady and you're real,
You are everything you've carried and everything you feel,
The tide that moves in darkness still knows how to find the shore,
You were never too much, you were always something more

[Verse 2]
You love like something sacred, like a contract made in deep,
You don't give yourself lightly and you don't forget your grief,
There are walls around your softest rooms, and locks on certain doors,
Not because you're broken — you just know what love ignores,
You've placed your heart in hands before that couldn't hold the weight,
And the lesson wasn't "love less" — it was "let the worthy wait"

[PreChorus 2]
The beauty that you look for in the world lives in you too,
Every grace note, every balance — that's the truth of who you grew

[Chorus 2]
You are ancient and you're searching, you are steady and you're real,
You are everything you've carried and everything you feel,
The tide that moves in darkness still knows how to find the shore,
You were never too much, you were always something more

[Verse 3]
Your mind goes where the others won't — beneath the given word,
Into the shadow of the meaning that nobody else has heard,
That restlessness isn't damage, it's a compass set to truth,
You were never built for shallow ground and never built to lose,
The questions that have kept you up were never signs of doubt,
They were lanterns in the hallway lighting everything that counts

[PreChorus 3]
You've held the world together when your own seams came undone,
Every wound you walked back from became a place you're strong

[Chorus 3]
You are ancient and you're searching, you are steady and you're real,
You are everything you've carried and everything you feel,
The tide that moves in darkness still knows how to find the shore,
You were never too much, you were always something more

[Verse 4]
Now something soft is shifting, like the sky before the light,
A gentler kind of knowing settling into what is right,
The healing isn't distant, it was always in your hands,
In the way you hold your people, in the way you understand,
You are not here to be perfect — you are here to be alive,
And the cosmos wrote you carefully in ink that won't run dry

[PreChorus 4]
The stars that marked your beginning still are burning overhead,
Every scar has been a story, every doubt a path instead

[Bridge]
You don't need to earn the space you take, it's always been your own,
Every part they couldn't understand was never yours to own,
The version of you no one sees is worth the most by far,
You are held by something larger — you were written in the stars

[Outro]
So rest inside the truth of it, you've always been enough,
The universe has known your name through every kind of rough,
Let the tide come in and carry what you no longer need to keep,
You are whole, you are here, you are finally free
