[Verse 1]
There's a stillness at the surface, like stone that holds the tide,
A warmth that lives so deeply that it rarely steps outside,
You've built your world from bedrock, from beauty, touch, and root,
A quiet kind of power that grows slow and absolute,
You feel the room before you speak, you read what can't be said,
You carry what belongs to you and most of what you've shed,

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they miss the ocean underneath,
Every scar has grown into a wreath,

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are grounded, you are more than what you show,
You're the mountain and the moonlight and the undertow below,
You don't need to earn your place here, it was written in your bones,
You were never meant to wander, you were always coming home,

[Verse 2]
You've wrestled with the part of you that doubts its right to rest,
That measures every offering and won't claim to be the best,
But the way you love is deliberate, steady, thick as earth,
And the world has never handed you the fullness of your worth,
You descended into darkness, found the lantern that you'd need,
And returned with something ancient, planting wisdom like a seed,

[PreChorus]
The tension pulled between your duty and your fire,
But both sides of you were building something higher,

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are grounded, you are more than what you show,
You're the mountain and the moonlight and the undertow below,
You don't need to earn your place here, it was written in your bones,
You were never meant to wander, you were always coming home,

[Bridge]
The cosmos carved you carefully, with patience and with clay,
What looked like heaviness was always lighting up your way,
You're allowed to stop and let the ground hold all your weight,
Everything you are right now is never, ever late,

[Outro]
The stars still hold the shape of you exactly as you are,
Enough, complete, unbroken — a slow and steady star,
