[Verse 1]
There's a stillness that you carry like a lantern in the deep,
A world behind your eyes that very few are asked to keep,
You feel the room before you enter, sense the unsaid and the weight,
A quiet kind of knowing that arrived before it's late,
They see the surface, still and calm, they call it being fine,
They don't see all the tides that pull beneath that waterline,
You've lived inside the in-between, the dreamer and the real,
A mind that speaks in metaphor for what the heart can't kneel

[PreChorus]
And you have carried more than anyone should carry alone,
Every doubt you wore like armor when you couldn't find your home,
But the depth in you is not a burden, it's the bedrock and the bone

[Chorus]
You are the current and the compass, you are the root below the stone,
You are the fire at the threshold and the light inside the bone,
Ancient in your understanding, wide as any open sea,
You were written in the cosmos and the cosmos set you free

[Verse 2]
You love like someone building something meant to last the years,
Unconventional and loyal through the silence and the fears,
You need a hand that won't possess you, eyes that see you whole,
A mind that meets your mind halfway and never tries to hold,
You've wandered into rooms of people feeling just outside the glass,
Believed in something beautiful and watched it fail to last,
That longing for a tribe that truly understands your frequency,
Is not a wound, it's evidence of how wide you were made to be

[PreChorus]
And you have offered more than anyone should offer alone,
Built your love from discipline and patience, brick by stone,
But the ache inside the giving is the truest thing you've known

[Chorus]
You are the current and the compass, you are the root below the stone,
You are the fire at the threshold and the light inside the bone,
Ancient in your understanding, wide as any open sea,
You were written in the cosmos and the cosmos set you free

[Verse 3]
You've wrestled with the shadow side, the version no one names,
The part that craves the real thing and grows restless with the games,
You've walked through your own darkness just to bring somebody light,
Descended into complicated truths and earned your sight,
There's something in you built for lasting work, for purposeful and slow,
A steady kind of ambition with a long-horizon glow,
The world will try to rush you but your timing is your own,
And everything you've gathered on the way has made you whole

[PreChorus]
You don't have to justify the complicated way you're made,
Every contradiction is a color in the life you've laid,
You are not a riddle to be solved, you're not a debt to be repaid

[Chorus]
You are the current and the compass, you are the root below the stone,
You are the fire at the threshold and the light inside the bone,
Ancient in your understanding, wide as any open sea,
You were written in the cosmos and the cosmos set you free

[Bridge]
Stop apologizing for the way you feel things twice,
For the question underneath the question, for the hunger for what's right,
You were never too much, you were always enough,
The stars bent themselves carefully to make a soul this tough,
And the path ahead is not a mystery you need to finally crack,
It's already laid inside you and it always has been that

[Outro]
So rest here in the knowing that you came here with a purpose,
That the beauty runs bone-deep in you, not only on the surface,
You are the current and the compass, you are the tide that pulls the moon,
You were written with intention and the world still needs your tune
