[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the calm you show the world,
A tide of feeling no one sees, a depth that's never heard,
You carry whole communities inside your quiet chest,
And still you pour into the cup of every single guest,
They see the warmth, they miss the weight you've held so long,
The softest hearts are always built from something strong

[PreChorus]
You've been the root while bending in the wind,
A steady flame that burns from deep within

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are steady, you are real,
More than every broken thing you learned to feel,
The sky was mapped the night you drew your first breath,
And it's been holding you in gold ever since

[Verse 2]
You love the way old rivers love the stones they've worn,
Through conversation, through a laugh, through every storm reborn,
You need the truth the way that meadows need the rain,
And once someone has lied, they'll never cross that ground again,
You give before you're asked, you feel before you speak,
But loving deep like that was never being weak

[PreChorus]
The world you build is one worth coming home to stay,
And what you've carried here has cleared the way

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are steady, you are real,
More than every broken thing you learned to feel,
The sky was mapped the night you drew your first breath,
And it's been holding you in gold ever since

[Verse 3]
There's a fire inside the structure, rebel underneath the grace,
A mind that sees a broken thing and needs to fix its face,
You've questioned every ceiling, every rule that didn't hold,
And everything that tried to dim you only made you bold,
The wound you carry quietly is where your wisdom grew,
The one who's healed the most is always someone just like you

[PreChorus]
The light that's coming is the kind that lasts,
And you were written for what's next, not what has passed

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are steady, you are real,
More than every broken thing you learned to feel,
The sky was mapped the night you drew your first breath,
And it's been holding you in gold ever since

[Bridge]
Let the season turn and find you standing tall,
You don't have to carry every one to matter to them all,
The cosmos didn't make you for the edges and the doubt,
You were written for this light — now let it out

[Outro]
You are guided, you are grounded, you are home,
More belonging in this world than you have known,
The stars don't waste their ink on ordinary things,
And they wrote you with the rarest kind of wings
