[Verse 1]
There's a stillness that surrounds you like a second skin
A careful kind of quiet where the real begins
You weigh the world before you speak, you feel it first
You carry what nobody sees and nurse the thirst
For something honest, something whole, something that stays
You've learned to read between the lines in a thousand ways
They see the calm, they don't see the tide
All those fathoms you've been holding deep inside

[PreChorus]
You built a home inside yourself when no one knew
Every room a different shade of what you've been through
And that's not weakness, that's the map of someone rare
Someone who has always been more ocean than air

[Chorus]
Mawiyah, you were written in the deep
A language that the surface never gets to keep
You are the balance and the storm that clears the sky
The question and the answer living side by side
Mawiyah, let the light you carry show
You were never meant to hide the things you know
The cosmos pressed its fingerprint on you with care
And there is no one else who fits exactly there

[Verse 2]
You've wondered if your worth was something you could earn
Worked your hands until they ached and took your turn
Standing back so others could step forward first
Swallowing the parts of you that wanted to burst
But that hunger for the truth, that mind that digs below
That refusal to accept the easy or the shallow
Those aren't burdens you've been hauling all these years
Those are lanterns you've been carrying through the dark and fears

[PreChorus]
You've loved like something ancient and sincere
In the quiet ways that never fully disappear
A folded note slipped under someone's door
The kind of devotion people search a lifetime for

[Chorus]
Mawiyah, you were written in the deep
A language that the surface never gets to keep
You are the balance and the storm that clears the sky
The question and the answer living side by side
Mawiyah, let the light you carry show
You were never meant to hide the things you know
The cosmos pressed its fingerprint on you with care
And there is no one else who fits exactly there

[Verse 3]
There's a version of yourself you haven't fully claimed
The one who doesn't soften every fire she's named
Who knows that real connection needs two people bare
Not just you conceding, you were always whole and there
You came here carrying a lineage of knowing
Roots that reach through time still green and still growing
The world doesn't always see the work beneath the ground
But every tree worth climbing started underground

[PreChorus]
You don't have to prove yourself to take up space
You were not an accident assigned to this place
The tension you've been living in is not a sign
That something's wrong — it's just the shape of your design

[Chorus]
Mawiyah, you were written in the deep
A language that the surface never gets to keep
You are the balance and the storm that clears the sky
The question and the answer living side by side
Mawiyah, let the light you carry show
You were never meant to hide the things you know
The cosmos pressed its fingerprint on you with care
And there is no one else who fits exactly there

[Bridge]
You've been the one who holds the room together without asking why
The one who feels the tremor before anyone hears the cry
But you are not required to be steady all the time
Even the moon goes dark before she rises in her prime
Every scar you carry is a threshold that you crossed
Every moment you felt shattered was a world you never lost
You are headed somewhere real and true and deep
And the best of who you are is yours to keep

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing you are seen
Every hidden part of you, and all the ones between
You are guided and you're rooted and you're enough
Soft in all the right ways, and in all the right ways tough
Mawiyah, you were always meant to stay
Not a visitor in this life — you were made for every day
