[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the careful way you stand,
A tide that reads the room before you offer out your hand,
You notice what is broken, what is hurting, what is missed,
You carry other people's weight like something you can't fix,
They see the still surface, they don't see what runs below,
The depth of what you hold inside, the light you don't yet show,

[PreChorus]
But everything you've felt and filed away,
Has been building you a wisdom no one else could make,

[Chorus]
You were written in the water and the dark between the stars,
Every current, every shadow only proves how deep you are,
What you call your imperfections is the universe at work,
You are not too much, not broken — you are everything that's worth,

[Verse 2]
You love in ways that don't fit neatly into what they're used to,
You need the real, the honest, someone who won't see through you,
You've built a guarded door around the truest part of you,
Not out of fear of loving but of loving someone new,
You give before you're asked, you stay long after you should go,
And somewhere underneath the giving, you forgot to let them know,

[PreChorus]
That you are not a reservoir for everyone's release,
That the one who needs your mercy most is you, and you need peace,

[Chorus]
You were written in the water and the dark between the stars,
Every current, every shadow only proves how deep you are,
What you call your imperfections is the universe at work,
You are not too much, not broken — you are everything that's worth,

[Verse 3]
The voice inside that calls you not enough has lied before,
You've transformed through every season that has knocked you to the floor,
There's fire in the quiet, there's a roar behind the calm,
A force that rallies people, that can hold them like a psalm,
The world needs what you carry, all that tenderness and bone,
The courage it has taken just to feel this much, alone,

[PreChorus]
So let the light that's rising meet you exactly where you stand,
You were never meant to earn your place — it's already in your hands,

[Chorus]
You were written in the water and the dark between the stars,
Every current, every shadow only proves how deep you are,
What you call your imperfections is the universe at work,
You are not too much, not broken — you are everything that's worth,

[Bridge]
The cosmos didn't make you small, it made you vast and true,
Every scar, a page of wisdom only carried inside you,
Let the tides come, let them turn, you know how to remain,
You have always been the harbor and the healing and the rain,

[Outro]
You are held by something older than the doubt you've learned to feel,
Every part of you was written, every part of you is real,
