[Verse 1]
There's a stillness at the surface, like a lake without a wave
But the current underneath it carved the canyon that you made
You weigh the world before you speak, you measure every word
You hold the scales inside your chest, and still you go unheard
They see the grace, the careful poise, the way you hold it all
They don't see what it costs you just to keep things from the fall

[PreChorus]
But the depth in you is not a flaw, it's where your power lives
You are made of what you've carried and the light that breaking gives

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are steady, you are more than what they've seen
You are everything the ocean is beneath the surface's gleam
You were written in the heavens with a language carved in stone
You are known down to your marrow, and you've never been alone

[Verse 2]
You love like something sacred that you rarely let them touch
A devotion held in silence because the stakes feel like too much
You've given what you had to give before they knew to ask
And carried all the tenderness behind a measured mask
But love was never meant to live that quietly inside
You deserve to be the river, not just water to the tide

[PreChorus]
Every wall you built was wisdom, every ache became a door
You were not made to settle for a love that asks for less, not more

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are steady, you are more than what they've seen
You are everything the ocean is beneath the surface's gleam
You were written in the heavens with a language carved in stone
You are known down to your marrow, and you've never been alone

[Verse 3]
The world has called on you to lead and you have answered every time
With precision in your labor and intention in your climb
There's a hunger in you still for something playful, wild, and free
A version of yourself that doesn't need to prove she has to be
The stars did not design a life of service without joy
There is something bright inside you that no weight can ever destroy

[PreChorus]
The cosmos doesn't make mistakes, it made you full and whole
Every scar has been a teacher and the lesson was your soul

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are steady, you are more than what they've seen
You are everything the ocean is beneath the surface's gleam
You were written in the heavens with a language carved in stone
You are known down to your marrow, and you've never been alone

[Bridge]
Let the tide come in, let the deep run free
You are safe enough to finally just be
Every part of you the world has never quite seen
Was always the most sacred, most extraordinary thing

[Outro]
The sky mapped you in wonder long before you drew your breath
You are whole in all your seasons, from the first one to the last
