[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the fire you wear,
A dreamer who moves first and stops to breathe air,
You carry other people's weight like it's your own,
And quietly rebuild yourself when left alone,
The calm they see is just the surface of the tide,
They don't know what currents you've been holding inside.

[PreChorus]
You've mapped a thousand horizons, searching for the true,
And every road you've wandered has been leading back to you.

[Chorus]
You are deeper than the questions that keep you up at night,
You are ancient, you are tender, you are built of borrowed light,
The wounds you thought were weaknesses have made you what you are,
You were written in the distance between water and the stars.

[Verse 2]
You love like something rushing in before the word is said,
With a whole heart diving forward, no instruction, just the thread,
But you fight your battles quietly, through care instead of war,
Protecting what you cherish at the cost of your own shore,
You've swallowed disappointments where belonging should have been,
And kept on building something beautiful unseen.

[PreChorus]
The roots go deeper than the storms that shook the ground,
There is a healing in you waiting to be found.

[Chorus]
You are deeper than the questions that keep you up at night,
You are ancient, you are tender, you are built of borrowed light,
The wounds you thought were weaknesses have made you what you are,
You were written in the distance between water and the stars.

[Verse 3]
You've lived between the structure and the open, restless sky,
Between the dream you're carrying and the world that asks you why,
Your mind moves like a river finding every stone to turn,
And somewhere in that searching there's a lesson you've earned,
That worth doesn't arrive when someone hands it to you whole,
It's always been the quiet, steady fire in your soul.

[PreChorus]
The universe has held your name since long before your birth,
What you carry has a purpose, and that purpose has a worth.

[Chorus]
You are deeper than the questions that keep you up at night,
You are ancient, you are tender, you are built of borrowed light,
The wounds you thought were weaknesses have made you what you are,
You were written in the distance between water and the stars.

[Bridge]
Let the tide come in, let the old things go,
There is ground beneath the grief you'll never fully know,
Every scar became the map that finally brought you here,
You don't have to prove a thing, you only need to be near.

[Outro]
The stars don't ask you to be more, they only ask you stay,
What you are has always been enough to light the way.
