[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you move through the room,
Like the earth before the rain, like the space before noon,
You carry the weight of a thousand unspoken things,
A quiet kind of courage tucked beneath your wings,
They see the steady hands, they don't see the tide,
All those fathoms running deep, all that ocean inside,
You've spent so long being solid for everyone near,
Forgetting that the ground needs tending, year after year,

[PreChorus]
But the roots that hold the mountain don't ask to be seen,
And the river finds its purpose in the valleys between,
You are more than what you carry, more than what you provide,
There's a universe of worth you've been keeping inside,

[Chorus]
You were written in the earth and the water and the light,
Carved from something old and steady, something true and right,
Every scar you thought was silence is a story well-earned,
Every wall you built for safety is a lesson hard-learned,
You don't have to prove the depth of what you are,
The sky already knows — you are already a star,
Let your roots go deeper, let your branches go wide,
You are the calm and the tide,

[Verse 2]
There's a tenderness in you that you guard like a flame,
You love like coming home, like a long-remembered name,
You give before you're asked, you hold before they break,
And you pour yourself so freely for another's sake,
But somewhere in the giving you forgot to receive,
Stood outside your own garden and forgot to believe,
That the one who tends the warmth for every willing heart,
Deserves to feel that warmth return and never fall apart,

[PreChorus]
But the moon doesn't stop shining when nobody looks up,
And the tide keeps filling, even when you've emptied the cup,
You are built for love and for being loved the same,
Not just a shelter for others — you deserve to have your name,

[Chorus]
You were written in the earth and the water and the light,
Carved from something old and steady, something true and right,
Every scar you thought was silence is a story well-earned,
Every wall you built for safety is a lesson hard-learned,
You don't have to prove the depth of what you are,
The sky already knows — you are already a star,
Let your roots go deeper, let your branches go wide,
You are the calm and the tide,

[Verse 3]
There's a dreamer in the deep of you nobody quite finds,
A mind that turns the world to poetry, that quietly unwinds,
You sense the things that haven't happened, read the room before it speaks,
You carry ancient knowing in the questions that you seek,
And though you've wondered if your worth was yours to claim,
Though you've stood in your own shadow wondering your own name,
Every doubt became a doorway, every ache became a key,
You were always being guided to the person you could be,

[PreChorus]
The cosmos didn't write you just to leave you undefined,
You were placed here with intention, you were carefully designed,
Every chapter that felt heavy was just making you more true,
Every ending was the threshold of a version more like you,

[Chorus]
You were written in the earth and the water and the light,
Carved from something old and steady, something true and right,
Every scar you thought was silence is a story well-earned,
Every wall you built for safety is a lesson hard-learned,
You don't have to prove the depth of what you are,
The sky already knows — you are already a star,
Let your roots go deeper, let your branches go wide,
You are the calm and the tide,

[Bridge]
There is nothing left to earn and nothing left to prove,
The ground beneath your feet was always meant to hold you,
You are not the sum of everything you couldn't say,
You are every quiet morning and the light at end of day,
The world needs what you carry, needs the way you understand,
Needs the way you love so deeply with an open, steady hand,
So rest inside the knowing that you're held and you are whole,
The stars were set at dawn for you — they've always known your soul,

[Outro]
You are the calm and the tide, you are
