[Verse 1]
There's a quiet strength that runs beneath your skin
Like bedrock steady when the world spins thin
You feel it all but keep it locked inside
A heart that's vast as ocean, deep as tide
You give your all but guard your tender core
Behind those eyes lie depths worth fighting for

[PreChorus]
You carry weights that no one else can see
The hurt, the hope, the who you're meant to be

[Chorus]
Cory, you're the calm before the storm arrives
Cory, you're the truth that cuts through all the lies
Every scar became a story, every wound became a bridge
You don't need to prove your worth, you already live

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves fast but your soul moves slow
You think in lightning, feel in undertow
The world sees patience, doesn't see the fire
All those dreams you hold but don't require
You love like something ancient and wide
Like prayers whispered but you don't need to hide

[PreChorus]
You transform what others fear to touch
Your healing hands can do so very much

[Chorus]
Cory, you're the calm before the storm arrives
Cory, you're the truth that cuts through all the lies
Every scar became a story, every wound became a bridge
You don't need to prove your worth, you already live

[Verse 3]
You seek the meaning underneath it all
Stand at the crossroads, brave enough to fall
Your power's quiet but it shakes the ground
In transformation, your true voice is found
The universe has mapped your sacred way
Through hidden chambers where the shadows play

[PreChorus]
You're learning trust can heal what time forgot
Your gentle strength is everything you've got

[Chorus]
Cory, you're the calm before the storm arrives
Cory, you're the truth that cuts through all the lies
Every scar became a story, every wound became a bridge
You don't need to prove your worth, you already live

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with patient, loving hands
A soul that holds the mystery few others understand
Your depth is not a burden, it's the gift you came to give
You are guided, you are held, you are enough to simply live

[Outro]
There's a quiet strength that runs beneath your skin
You've always been exactly who you need to be within
