[Verse 1]
There's a stillness that surrounds you, but the depth runs like a tide,
A mind that reads the room before you've even stepped inside,
You carry what you've gathered like a lantern in the rain,
Every wall you ever built was just a window to your pain,
You see the cracks in everything and still you choose to stay,
That's not a flaw — that's a gift that won't be given away

[PreChorus]
The world has heard your silence but it hasn't heard your voice,
You've been editing yourself like you were never given a choice

[Chorus]
Mark, you are the deep water, steady and wide,
Something ancient and unbroken living inside,
You don't have to be perfect, just present and true,
Mark, the cosmos wrote the world and then it wrote you

[Verse 2]
You love like someone fearless but you hide it just in case,
You give before you're asked and still you doubt your rightful place,
You've chased the far horizon with a fire no one sees,
Torn between the open road and someone left to please,
But every truth you've wrestled with, every long and unnamed night,
Was shaping you into the one who leads the lost toward light

[PreChorus]
You've been the one who holds it all so others fall apart,
Now let something hold you — there is room to rest this heart

[Chorus]
Mark, you are the deep water, steady and wide,
Something ancient and unbroken living inside,
You don't have to be perfect, just present and true,
Mark, the cosmos wrote the world and then it wrote you

[Bridge]
The tide that pulled you under gave you lungs that know the sea,
Every scar became a compass pointing toward who you could be,
You were never too much, never more than you should be,
You were always — always — exactly enough

[Outro]
So stand in all that you are, unguarded and whole,
Mark, the sky remembers you — it always has known your soul
