[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold your ground,
Like deep roots drinking water underground,
You carry whole worlds behind those steady eyes,
A patience that the restless can't disguise,
Your mind moves quick, a spark before the flame,
But your heart takes time before it speaks its name,
You build things slow, you build things meant to last,
You've learned the weight of futures from the past

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those currents running deep inside,
You've held so much that no one ever named,
But every burden carried made you unashamed

[Chorus]
Oh Janice, you are ancient and alive,
A mountain learning how to also rise,
You've been the ground beneath someone else's feet,
Now let the earth hold you, let yourself be complete,
Oh Janice, the cosmos wrote you carefully,
With ink that doesn't fade and eyes that truly see,
You are rooted, you are reaching, you are real,
You are more than everything you've learned to conceal

[Verse 2]
You love like something quietly on fire,
With conversation first and then desire,
You need the depth, the truth, the real exchange,
A soul that meets you halfway through the strange,
You've sometimes built your walls from old goodbyes,
And called it wisdom wearing a disguise,
But the way you give before you're even asked,
Is a tenderness too rare to keep unmasked

[PreChorus]
You've questioned what you're here to build and be,
Walked paths where no one handed you the key,
That ache of searching wider than the known,
Has always been the compass pointing home

[Chorus]
Oh Janice, you are ancient and alive,
A mountain learning how to also rise,
You've been the ground beneath someone else's feet,
Now let the earth hold you, let yourself be complete,
Oh Janice, the cosmos wrote you carefully,
With ink that doesn't fade and eyes that truly see,
You are rooted, you are reaching, you are real,
You are more than everything you've learned to conceal

[Bridge]
You don't need to fix every fractured thing in sight,
You don't need to earn your place in your own light,
The perfection that you chased was never gone,
It was living in you softly all along,
The world you carry quietly in your chest,
The love you give so freely to the rest,
That's not a debt, that's not a thing to prove,
That's the moon and all the mountains alive in you

[Outro]
Let yourself be held the way you've held the rest,
Let the tide come in and settle in your chest,
You are guided, you are grounded, you are enough,
You were always more than made of stardust and love
