[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold the room
Like deep earth before the breaking of a bloom
You carry more than anyone has ever seen
A whole internal world between the lines, between
You think in layers, slowly, building stone by stone
And though you laugh out loud, you do some things alone
Not because you're distant, not because you're cold
But some rivers run so deep they don't need to be told

[PreChorus 1]
You feel it all beneath a steady face
A lion's heart that needs its quiet space
You've learned to guard the door but you were built to glow
There's a fire in you that the surface doesn't show

[Chorus]
You were written in the oldest kind of light
Something patient, something burning, something right
You don't need to prove a thing to earn your place
You are rooted, you are radiant, you are grace
Every ache you carried made you who you are
The universe was careful when it made this heart
You were written in the oldest kind of light
Something tender, something grounded, something bright

[Verse 2]
You love like water finding every crack
You give before you're asked and don't expect it back
You see the best in people even when it hides
You feel their storms before they even turn to tides
But somewhere in the giving, you forget the need
To let somebody love the very one who leads
You've learned to show your strength before you show your seams
But the softest parts of you are where the healing breathes

[PreChorus 2]
You've rebuilt things that others left in dust
You've learned when something breaks it doesn't mean it's lost
The roots you grew in complicated ground
Are the very ones that keep you when the winds come round

[Chorus]
You were written in the oldest kind of light
Something patient, something burning, something right
You don't need to prove a thing to earn your place
You are rooted, you are radiant, you are grace
Every ache you carried made you who you are
The universe was careful when it made this heart
You were written in the oldest kind of light
Something tender, something grounded, something bright

[Verse 3]
There's a compass turning slowly deep inside
Calling you toward something wider, something wide
Past the familiar words, the well-worn easy road
To a kind of knowing only living can bestow
You've always held the vision of a better way
A world where people matter more than what they say
And even when belonging felt just out of reach
The connections you were meant for are still yours to keep

[PreChorus 3]
You don't need to earn the right to rest tonight
You don't need to hold the world to earn your light
You are not the armor, you are not the weight
You are something far more tender and more great

[Chorus]
You were written in the oldest kind of light
Something patient, something burning, something right
You don't need to prove a thing to earn your place
You are rooted, you are radiant, you are grace
Every ache you carried made you who you are
The universe was careful when it made this heart
You were written in the oldest kind of light
Something tender, something grounded, something bright

[Bridge]
Let the moon that lives inside you have its say
Let the part that needs the warmth come out and stay
You were never meant to carry this alone
Even ancient trees need rain to feel at home
Your worth is not a ladder you still have to climb
It was always yours, it was written at the start of time

[Outro]
You are patient like the earth before the spring
You are louder than you know, you are everything
The stars did not forget you when they mapped the sky
They wrote you into something that will never die
Rest now in the knowing that you always were enough
Steady, open, unbreakable, and full of love
