[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface of the water where you stand,
A quiet kind of power that the world doesn't understand,
You read the room before you speak, you know the weight of words,
And you carry what you've witnessed like a language no one's heard,
The things that broke you open left you wider than before,
There's a tide beneath the silence and it knows what it is for

[PreChorus 1]
You've built your walls from wisdom, not from weakness, not from fear,
You just learned a long time ago that not everyone belongs here

[Chorus 1]
Elizabeth, you burn like something ancient and refined,
A depth that holds the darkness and the light at the same time,
They see the calm, they don't see the current running deep,
But everything you carry is the very thing you need,
Elizabeth, the cosmos wrote you carefully and true,
There has never been a moment you weren't exactly who you knew

[Verse 2]
You love like something that was built to last through every storm,
Not loud and fast and reckless, but devoted, steady, warm,
You take your time to open up, you read the roots before the tree,
And when you finally give your heart, it's given endlessly,
But you've felt the ache of giving to a cup that won't be filled,
And the longing to be held the way you've held, the way you will

[PreChorus 2]
Underneath the composure is a heart that's never cold,
Just a soul who learned to trust the things that time alone has told

[Chorus 2]
Elizabeth, you burn like something ancient and refined,
A depth that holds the darkness and the light at the same time,
They see the calm, they don't see the current running deep,
But everything you carry is the very thing you need,
Elizabeth, the cosmos wrote you carefully and true,
There has never been a moment you weren't exactly who you knew

[Verse 3]
You've wondered if your voice was worth the space it had to take,
You've reached for understanding through the silence and the ache,
But every time you chose your words and spoke them into air,
You built a bridge for someone else who thought that no one cared,
Your mind runs wide like open sky, it reaches past the frame,
And every vision you have seen, the world will one day claim

[PreChorus 3]
You were never too much or too little, never wrong for being real,
You were just so far ahead they hadn't caught up to how you feel

[Chorus 3]
Elizabeth, you burn like something ancient and refined,
A depth that holds the darkness and the light at the same time,
They see the calm, they don't see the current running deep,
But everything you carry is the very thing you need,
Elizabeth, the cosmos wrote you carefully and true,
There has never been a moment you weren't exactly who you knew

[Verse 4]
You've stood inside the in-between, one foot on solid ground,
The other in a broader sky, still searching to be found,
But here is what the shadows know that daylight hasn't said,
The fire in you doesn't die, it just moves quietly ahead,
Your roots are made of everything you chose to leave behind,
And the person you are growing into has been there all this time

[PreChorus 4]
You don't need to earn the right to rest, to be, to stay, to bloom,
There's a compass inside you that has always known the room

[Bridge]
Let the deepest parts of you be known without apology,
Every scar became a story written into who you'll be,
You were held before you knew it, you are guided even now,
The universe remembers every promise and every vow,
You are not behind, you are not lost, you're walking your own line,
Every piece of who you are was fashioned by design

[Chorus 4]
Elizabeth, you burn like something ancient and refined,
A depth that holds the darkness and the light at the same time,
They see the calm, they don't see the current running deep,
But everything you carry is the very thing you need,
Elizabeth, the cosmos wrote you carefully and true,
There has never been a moment you weren't exactly who you knew

[Outro]
You are enough, right now, exactly as you stand,
Not a version
