[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold the world at bay,
A garden locked in winter, but you're growing anyway,
You feel everything at once but keep the surface still,
Like the deepest rivers moving underneath the hill,
You've learned to read the room before you read the door,
And carry more than anyone could ever see you for

[PreChorus]
But the weight you wear like armor, it was never yours to keep,
You were built for something larger than the waters run deep

[Chorus]
Alex, you are rooted where the wild things grow,
A Taurus heart that holds what most could never know,
You are steady ground and storm and everything between,
The most extraordinary ordinary thing I've seen

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a question and a key,
You give your whole attention but you ask to still be free,
You've swallowed disappointment like it belonged to you,
And built a fortress over wounds no one else ever knew,
You've held yourself together when the home felt out of reach,
And found a kind of beauty in the lessons you can't teach

[PreChorus]
The ache inside your history has carved you into art,
Every storm that shook your roots just deepened who you are

[Chorus]
Alex, you are rooted where the wild things grow,
A Taurus heart that holds what most could never know,
You are steady ground and storm and everything between,
The most extraordinary ordinary thing I've seen

[Verse 3]
There's a fire in you dressed up as calm, a crown beneath the clay,
A mind that moves through shadow seeking truth the long hard way,
You dream in constellations but you walk on solid ground,
You change the room by entering before you make a sound,
The world will need the courage that you've borrowed from your pain,
Every quiet revolution starts with someone just like you, again

[PreChorus]
You don't have to prove the light to anyone who sees,
The cosmos wrote you carefully and threw away the keys

[Chorus]
Alex, you are rooted where the wild things grow,
A Taurus heart that holds what most could never know,
You are steady ground and storm and everything between,
The most extraordinary ordinary thing I've seen

[Bridge]
You were never meant to shrink to fit another's frame,
The universe has held your name before you even came,
Let the stars that shaped you be the ones that set you free,
You are everything you're searching for and all you'll ever need

[Outro]
So stand in all your wholeness, let the sky confirm it true,
Alex, every light up there was burning just for you
