[Verse 1]
There's a still water surface above an ocean floor
Where the current runs in layers most eyes can't explore
You read a room before you speak, you've always known the cost
Of saying the true thing out loud, of what could still be lost
Your mind moves like a blade through fog, precise and deep and true
There's so much more beneath the calm that only you pass through

[PreChorus]
They see the steady, they don't see the tide
All those fathoms you've been carrying inside

[Chorus]
You are ancient and you're burning and you're wide
You are every answer waiting to be tried
All the depth that you've been hiding is the gift
You were written in a language that won't shift

[Verse 2]
You've carried weight in silence like it came with your name
Absorbed the grief of others and still showed up the same
There's a healer in the way you love, fierce and free and vast
A hunger for the horizon pulling hard against the past
You give before you're asked, and still you wonder if it's enough
That tenderness you armor over — that's not weakness, that's your courage

[PreChorus]
You've learned to be the strong one in the storm
But even ancient rivers need somewhere warm

[Chorus]
You are ancient and you're burning and you're wide
You are every answer waiting to be tried
All the depth that you've been hiding is the gift
You were written in a language that won't shift

[Verse 3]
You love like something boundless, like a question with no end
You need a love with room in it, a truth that doesn't bend
The walls you've built aren't coldness — they're the memory of when
You handed someone your whole heart and had to find it again
Let the one who sees your shadows be the one who earns your light
You don't have to set yourself on fire to keep someone else bright

[PreChorus]
The stars that mapped you didn't make mistakes
You are exactly what the world most needs to wake

[Chorus]
You are ancient and you're burning and you're wide
You are every answer waiting to be tried
All the depth that you've been hiding is the gift
You were written in a language that won't shift

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to simply be
You were whole before you ever proved anything
The cosmos carved you carefully, with purpose in each seam
You are not too much — you're everything

[Outro]
Rest in what the dark taught you, let the searching finally breathe
You were never lost — you were always underneath
The light is rising now, and it was always yours to keep
