[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you face the morning light,
A restless kind of knowing that something isn't quite right,
You carry wide horizons like a map beneath your skin,
Always reaching for the edges, always looking further in,
They see the open laughter and the boldness that you wear,
But they don't see the ocean that you're swimming with down there,
You've been truth-telling and giving since before you learned to rest,
Holding everyone's becoming while you quietly tend your chest

[PreChorus]
And the world keeps asking more of you than you were meant to give alone,
But every mile you've walked through fire, love, it's built you into something whole

[Chorus]
You are the light that works in quiet places, the warmth behind the door,
You are the depth that keeps on giving even when you think there's nothing more,
A soul that loves like tidal water, ancient and impossible to name,
You don't have to burn the brightest, you just have to know your flame

[Verse 2]
You speak with the precision of someone who has thought it through,
But somewhere there's a younger voice that still fears being misunderstood by you,
You've absorbed the weight of others like it was your duty and your right,
Translated their confusion into something close to light,
And the love you give runs deeper than the words you use to show it,
It's the kind that leaves a mark long before the other person knows it,
You've guarded what is tender with the discipline of stone,
Not because you're cold inside, but because you learned alone

[PreChorus]
And those early lessons taught your heart to hesitate before the fall,
But the truest love is waiting where your courage dares to call

[Chorus]
You are the light that works in quiet places, the warmth behind the door,
You are the depth that keeps on giving even when you think there's nothing more,
A soul that loves like tidal water, ancient and impossible to name,
You don't have to burn the brightest, you just have to know your flame

[Verse 3]
You've sat inside the questions that most people never ask,
Pulled the truth out of the shadows and held it without a mask,
Your mind moves like a current through the underneath of things,
Touching what is hidden, understanding what it means,
There's a longing in you, deep and wide, for something real and true,
Not the surface of a moment but the soul inside it too,
And that hunger isn't restless, it's a compass pointing clear,
Toward the life that's always known you, drawing you near

[PreChorus]
And the universe did not write you lightly, it took its time with every line,
Every wound became a doorway and every doubt became a sign

[Chorus]
You are the light that works in quiet places, the warmth behind the door,
You are the depth that keeps on giving even when you think there's nothing more,
A soul that loves like tidal water, ancient and impossible to name,
You don't have to burn the brightest, you just have to know your flame

[Bridge]
You are not too much, you are not too wide,
You are not the parts of you that you've tried to hide,
Every contradiction is a colour in the frame,
Every scar a line of wisdom, every loss a quiet claim,
To the truth that you are chosen by the stars themselves to be
Exactly this, exactly here, exactly, finally, free

[Outro]
So rest your bones a moment, let the horizon hold your gaze,
You have carried more than most could, through the dark and through the haze,
And the sky that rose above you on the morning you began,
Still remembers what it wrote there — the fullness of your plan,
You are guided, you are held, you are written in the deep,
You are more than you have shown the world, and that is yours to keep
