[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside you that the world can't see,
A current running deeper than you let it be,
You hold the room together with a steady hand,
While underneath the surface, more than they understand,
You feel everything at once but wear a measured face,
A soul that carries oceans in the smallest space,
They see the calm exterior, the one you've learned to keep,
But you were born to fathom what the shallow cannot reach

[PreChorus]
And every wall you've ever built was made of love,
Every silence held a story they knew nothing of,
You learned so early how to be the one who stays,
The one who holds the lantern through the darker days

[Chorus]
You are ancient water, you are patient light,
A compass finding true north in the middle of the night,
They see the surface shining but you run so wide,
All those tides and all those currents make you who you are inside,
You don't have to earn it, you don't have to bleed,
You are everything the universe already knows you need,
Held by something older than the words you've ever known,
You were never lost, you were always finding home

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like a conversation never stops,
Threading thought to feeling, connecting all the dots,
You love the way a puzzle opens like a door,
And every person you encounter leaves you wanting more,
You carry them so carefully, each one you've let inside,
You give before they ask you and you rarely let them find
The version of you trembling in the dark alone at night,
The one who questions everything but still gets up and fights

[PreChorus]
And every time you doubted what you had to give,
That doubt became the detail of a deeper way to live,
You turned your hesitation into something like a grace,
A wisdom in the waiting, not a weakness in your pace

[Chorus]
You are ancient water, you are patient light,
A compass finding true north in the middle of the night,
They see the surface shining but you run so wide,
All those tides and all those currents make you who you are inside,
You don't have to earn it, you don't have to bleed,
You are everything the universe already knows you need,
Held by something older than the words you've ever known,
You were never lost, you were always finding home

[Verse 3]
You love like something written in a language lost to time,
Where the conversation matters just as much as the divine,
You need the meeting of the minds before you'll let one near,
And the intimacy you're craving is the kind that doesn't fear,
But you've stood at the threshold of connection, hand pressed to the door,
Wondering if the love inside you is the kind worth asking for,
It is, it is, it is, it is, let that settle somewhere deep,
The heart that gives this freely is the one worth keeping

[PreChorus]
And every time a love has cut you somewhere that still shows,
It taught you something precious about how real devotion goes,
You weren't too much, you weren't too open, you weren't wrong to want,
You were simply learning what a soul like yours is for

[Chorus]
You are ancient water, you are patient light,
A compass finding true north in the middle of the night,
They see the surface shining but you run so wide,
All those tides and all those currents make you who you are inside,
You don't have to earn it, you don't have to bleed,
You are everything the universe already knows you need,
Held by something older than the words you've ever known,
You were never lost, you were always finding home

[Verse 4]
There's a wildness in you wrapped in something that looks still,
An unconventional spirit underneath the iron will,
You've questioned every rule they handed down as absolute,
And found your truth by walking where there wasn't any route,
Your depth has been mistaken for reserve, for being cold,
But the ones who've seen beneath it know the warmth your silence holds,
You are made for transformation, for the turning of the tide,
A soul that walks through fire and comes out purified

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote your name in something that will never fade,
Every contradiction in you is the light and the shade,
And the
