[Verse 1]
Still waters on the surface, tides beneath the ground,
A patient kind of knowing that doesn't make a sound,
The world sees what you offer — the warmth, the steady care,
But the ocean that you carry, almost nobody dares to share,
You've held so much inside you, thought it made you less,
But every wave you've weathered is proof of your tenderness.

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they miss the current running deep,
The life you tend in silence, the promises you keep.

[Chorus]
You are rooted and you're rising, both the earth and the tide,
There's a whole universe living behind those careful eyes,
Every scar holds a season, every wound became light,
You were written by the cosmos and you were written right.

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a hearth against the cold,
You don't just give your presence — you give it whole,
You fight for everyone around you with a quiet hand,
But the battle that you carry, no one quite understands,
You've wondered if your worth was something you had to earn,
But what you are has always been enough in return.

[PreChorus]
The tides don't ask permission before they touch the shore,
And neither should the heart that you've been rationing out before.

[Chorus]
You are rooted and you're rising, both the earth and the tide,
There's a whole universe living behind those careful eyes,
Every scar holds a season, every wound became light,
You were written by the cosmos and you were written right.

[Verse 3]
You've rebuilt yourself in private, rearranged the bones,
Turned the weight of what you've carried into stepping stones,
Your mind moves slow and certain, like a river finding ground,
It holds what others scatter and it doesn't let it drown,
There's a gift inside your silence that the noisy never find,
A cathedral built from feeling, from a rare and faithful mind.

[PreChorus]
You don't need to prove the fire — it burns without your help,
The truest kind of power starts with trusting in yourself.

[Chorus]
You are rooted and you're rising, both the earth and the tide,
There's a whole universe living behind those careful eyes,
Every scar holds a season, every wound became light,
You were written by the cosmos and you were written right.

[Verse 4]
There's a healing in the turning, like the summer after rain,
Something tender moving closer through the places that held pain,
The patterns that you've carried from the roots you started from
Are becoming something different, something finally come undone,
You are not what broke you open — you're the light that filled the cracks,
And whatever weight you're setting down, it doesn't need to come back.

[PreChorus]
The stars don't shine to mark you — they shine to call you home,
You were never truly lost, and you were never truly alone.

[Bridge]
Let the moon remind you that you're already whole,
Not a chapter left unwritten — you're the whole unfolding scroll,
You are guided and you're grounded and you're allowed to rest,
What you've always been becoming is already your best.

[Outro]
You are rooted and you're rising, earth and tide and flame,
The universe took its time with you — and nothing about you is a mistake.
