[Verse 1]
Still waters on the surface, but the depths run wide,
A quiet kind of knowing that they carry inside,
Patient as the earth is, rooted, slow, and true,
A mind that holds forever what it chooses to pursue,
They feel the weight of everyone before they feel their own,
Building something lasting out of every seed they've sown

[PreChorus]
But the horizon keeps on calling past the treeline's edge,
And the restless heart inside them won't back down from the ledge

[Chorus]
Kea, you are the stillness and the storm in one,
The deep roots in the winter and the face turned toward the sun,
You carry more than anyone can see inside your bones,
Kea, you were never, ever meant to carry it alone

[Verse 2]
They love like something ancient, like a match struck in the dark,
Full and bold and fearless from the very first spark,
But they've learned to guard the entrance with a practiced kind of grace,
Taking years to trust that someone's worthy of that space,
And when connection falters or the picture isn't clear,
They pour it into beauty just to prove that they were here

[PreChorus]
The wound beneath the surface never made them less than whole,
It carved the room for all the light that pours out of their soul

[Chorus]
Kea, you are the stillness and the storm in one,
The deep roots in the winter and the face turned toward the sun,
You carry more than anyone can see inside your bones,
Kea, you were never, ever meant to carry it alone

[Verse 3]
They've wrestled with the darkness that lives under every dream,
Pulled themselves through undertows that no one else could see,
The need to find a meaning, to believe in something true,
To build a world worth living in and put their vision through,
They question every system that was handed down as law,
And that refusal to submit — that is their greatest draw

[PreChorus]
The tension between freedom and the ties they want to keep,
Is just the sign of someone who has loved with all their heat

[Chorus]
Kea, you are the stillness and the storm in one,
The deep roots in the winter and the face turned toward the sun,
You carry more than anyone can see inside your bones,
Kea, you were never, ever meant to carry it alone

[Verse 4]
There's a hidden room inside them full of grief they never named,
A longing to be held the way they'd hoped for when they came,
But every tender offering they've given in the dark,
Has quietly been tending to the healing of that heart,
The world they're building outward is the home they've made within,
And the life they're meant to live has only just begun to begin

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote them carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
Every scar a sacred blueprint of the light they've always made

[Chorus]
Kea, you are the stillness and the storm in one,
The deep roots in the winter and the face turned toward the sun,
You carry more than anyone can see inside your bones,
Kea, you were never, ever meant to carry it alone

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to rest inside your own skin,
You were whole before the proving and the world let you in,
Let the searching be enough, let the questions find their place,
You are everything the stars kept safe

[Outro]
Kea, the compass always pointed here,
To this moment, to this body, to this life without fear,
You were written in the deep before you had a name,
And you are, you are, you are enough just the same
