[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you hold the room without a word,
A calm authority that lands before you've been heard,
But behind the steady gaze there's a tide no one can see,
An ocean running underneath, searching to be free,
You've built your worth with careful hands, stone by patient stone,
And carried more than anyone should ever carry alone.

[PreChorus]
The world sees the gold, but not the weight it took to burn,
They see the light you give, they miss the miles you had to earn.

[Chorus]
You are more than what you've proven, more than what you've done,
You were written in the marrow of this world before you'd begun,
Every crack has let the cosmos pour its silver through,
You are held by something ancient, and it's always holding you.

[Verse 2]
You love like something handed down from deep inside the earth,
Grand in what you offer, loyal far beyond its worth,
You need to be seen truly, not just useful, not just kind,
To feel the warmth returned to match the warmth you leave behind,
And when it doesn't come, you fold the ache into the quiet,
You tend the inner garden while the surface stays compliant.

[PreChorus]
The way you care is ancient, it runs deeper than the bone,
But even the most giving heart was never meant for this alone.

[Chorus]
You are more than what you've proven, more than what you've done,
You were written in the marrow of this world before you'd begun,
Every crack has let the cosmos pour its silver through,
You are held by something ancient, and it's always holding you.

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves through a thousand doors before the first one's shut,
It catches what the naked eye would otherwise have cut,
A poet's way of seeing wrapped in analytical skin,
The precision on the outside and the dreamer deep within,
You've wondered if your voice deserves the space it asks to fill,
It does — it always did — and somewhere deep inside, you know it still.

[PreChorus]
The questions that have shaken you were never signs of doubt,
They were the compass turning, pointing inward, pointing out.

[Chorus]
You are more than what you've proven, more than what you've done,
You were written in the marrow of this world before you'd begun,
Every crack has let the cosmos pour its silver through,
You are held by something ancient, and it's always holding you.

[Bridge]
Let the healing find you where you stand, no need to search,
Something soft is moving through the branches, through the birch,
The wound that taught you silence is becoming your true song,
You were never lost, you were becoming all along.

[Outro]
The stars don't ask the river to explain the way it bends,
And you don't need permission to be whole before this ends,
You are enough, exactly here, exactly as you are,
The sky has known your name since long before you named the stars.
