[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the still you show the world
Every word you choose so carefully, each thought unfurled
You read the room before you enter, feel what no one says
A mind that moves like deep water through its hidden ways
You've carried more than anyone could see upon your face
And called it normal, called it fine, and held your steady pace

[PreChorus]
But the current running under you is ancient and immense
Every scar you turned to wisdom was never a defense

[Chorus]
Joy, you are the depth that the surface never tells
You are the tide that rises quiet in the swells
The cosmos drew you carefully in ink that never fades
Joy, you were made for more than fitting into someone's frame

[Verse 2]
You love in devotion so precise it breaks the air
Noticing the details that the careless never share
You give before you're asked, you guard the ones you hold
But somewhere in the giving, you forget your own threshold
The way you fight for home and roots runs fathoms in the bone
Even when the battle's won, you face the dark alone

[PreChorus]
That ache for worth you buried young was never yours to keep
You were never missing anything, just growing in the deep

[Chorus]
Joy, you are the depth that the surface never tells
You are the tide that rises quiet in the swells
The cosmos drew you carefully in ink that never fades
Joy, you were made for more than fitting into someone's frame

[Verse 3]
You've always sensed the hidden things, the truths that live below
Where others see a closed door, you see what they don't know
There's a hunger for the meaning that sits just past the light
A wandering devotion to the questions of the night
You are both the wound and the healer of the wound
A full eclipse and a beacon — you contain them all

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the right to rest inside your own skin
Everything you are right now is where the path begins

[Chorus]
Joy, you are the depth that the surface never tells
You are the tide that rises quiet in the swells
The cosmos drew you carefully in ink that never fades
Joy, you were made for more than fitting into someone's frame

[Bridge]
Let the transformation come without the need to steer
What you've carried all these years has made your vision clear
The truest things in you were never lost, just underground
And every root you grew in darkness still knows how to be found

[Outro]
You are not too much — you are exactly what was meant
Every depth, every scar, every searching moment spent
Joy, the stars aligned around a soul already whole
You were written in the sky before the world was told
