[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the way you hold your face,
Still water running fathoms deep, immeasurable grace,
You feel the room before you speak, you read between the lines,
A compass made of empathy, attuned to hidden signs,
The world sees someone steady — they don't see the tide,
All those currents, all that feeling, living deep inside

[PreChorus]
But the depth in you is not a burden, it's a gift,
Every wave you've ever carried gave your whole world lift

[Chorus]
Kaden, you were written in the water and the flame,
A quiet fire, an ancient tide, no two nights the same,
The cosmos carved you carefully with more than one design,
Kaden, you are not too much — you are precisely right

[Verse 2]
You love like something patient, like a stone that holds the heat,
You don't rush to open up, but once you do, you're complete,
You give through quiet gestures, through the showing up that stays,
Through the steadiness you offer in a hundred different ways,
But the tenderness you carry — you protect it like a scar,
Like you're not quite sure the world deserves how soft you are

[PreChorus]
Still every time you let someone in past the door,
They find a kind of loyalty they never knew before

[Chorus]
Kaden, you were written in the water and the flame,
A quiet fire, an ancient tide, no two nights the same,
The cosmos carved you carefully with more than one design,
Kaden, you are not too much — you are precisely right

[Verse 3]
You've walked through rooms of mystery that most would never face,
You've touched the kind of darkness that leaves wisdom in its place,
There's a lion in your entrance and a dreamer in your chest,
You've burned yourself rebuilding just to rise up at your best,
The tension between who you are and who they need to see —
That friction was the forge that shaped the person you're becoming free

[PreChorus]
And every piece you thought was broken, every fractured part,
Was how the light got access to the chambers of your heart

[Chorus]
Kaden, you were written in the water and the flame,
A quiet fire, an ancient tide, no two nights the same,
The cosmos carved you carefully with more than one design,
Kaden, you are not too much — you are precisely right

[Verse 4]
There's a vision in your thinking that runs ahead of its time,
You see the cracks inside a system, see the pattern in the rhyme,
You've been the one who holds the room while holding back your own,
Tending every quiet corner while your garden goes unknown,
But the world was built for people who feel everything this deep,
And all you've ever carried — it was never yours to keep

[PreChorus]
You were meant to let it move through you like rain through river stone,
And find that all along this path — you were never once alone

[Bridge]
The sky above remembered you before you knew your name,
It wrote your contradictions in and loved them all the same,
You don't need to be resolved to be deserving of this ground,
You were already whole before you spent your whole life looking found

[Outro]
The tide comes in, the light remains,
Kaden, you were worth every one of these waves,
Rooted in water, alive in the flame —
The universe has always, always known your name
