[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that nobody sees running,
A current underneath that's always becoming,
The surface looks like calm, like everything's in order,
But you feel the whole ocean pressing at the border,
You've counted every crack and catalogued the quiet,
Made sense of all the chaos so you wouldn't have to fight it,
That mind of yours is sacred, even when it won't stop turning,
It's not anxious, it's alive — it's a lantern always burning

[PreChorus]
And you've held so much for others, kept the anchor in the storm,
You've been the steady hand that pulls them somewhere safe and warm,
But who has held the anchor when the water pulled at you,
There's a grace in how you carry what you never thought you'd through

[Chorus]
You were written in the deep and the wide,
Born between the dreaming and the tide,
Half the world can't see the weight you bear,
But the universe has always known you're there,
You are more than what you've managed to survive,
You're the proof that something beautiful stayed alive,
Every current, every crossing, every scar,
Were the makings of the one you always are

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient throws a spark,
Headfirst and honest, fearless in the dark,
You don't love carefully, you love completely,
And that fire that leaps before it thinks is not a flaw, it's beauty,
There are walls you built with patience, stone by stone in silence,
Not from weakness but from wisdom, from surviving your own violence,
The kind that comes from carrying what your bloodline couldn't name,
You walked into the wreckage and you never looked the same

[PreChorus]
And the tension between your heart and every careful thought,
Is the proof of how much tenderness you've never sold or bought,
You feel what others bypass and you see what others miss,
There's a cost to being open, but the gift is also this

[Chorus]
You were written in the deep and the wide,
Born between the dreaming and the tide,
Half the world can't see the weight you bear,
But the universe has always known you're there,
You are more than what you've managed to survive,
You're the proof that something beautiful stayed alive,
Every current, every crossing, every scar,
Were the makings of the one you always are

[Verse 3]
You've wondered if your presence leaves a mark that matters,
If the work you do behind the scenes means anything it scatters,
But the roots you've grown reach deeper than the eye can follow,
And the healing that you carry fills what used to feel so hollow,
You belong to something wider than the circles you've been given,
You've always known a different kind of justice worth the living,
The world you hold inside your chest, the one that almost breaks you,
Is exactly where the light you give the people near you makes you

[PreChorus]
So lay the proving down for just a moment, let it rest,
You don't have to earn your place by always passing every test,
The stillness is not failure and the rest is not a loss,
You are not the sum of everything your silence ever cost

[Chorus]
You were written in the deep and the wide,
Born between the dreaming and the tide,
Half the world can't see the weight you bear,
But the universe has always known you're there,
You are more than what you've managed to survive,
You're the proof that something beautiful stayed alive,
Every current, every crossing, every scar,
Were the makings of the one you always are

[Bridge]
The stars don't waste a single soul they shape this carefully,
And everything that broke you was still part of the design,
There is purpose in the places you have had to feel most lost,
And there's a life worth living on the other side of what it cost,
You are held by something older than your oldest fear,
The compass has been pointing home, it's always pointed here

[Outro]
So rest in what you are, not what you almost were,
You're the deep and the dreaming, the steady and the sure,
Every question you've been carrying has always known its end,
You were enough before you started, you are enough again
