[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the stillness that nobody sees
A dreamer running deeper than the roots of the tallest trees
You feel the whole world's sorrow like it lives inside your chest
And still you show up giving when you haven't had your rest
You carry what's invisible and call it ordinary weight
But everything you hold in silence makes you quietly great

[PreChorus]
The fire in your step moves before the world can follow through
The earth in you stays rooted when the waves come crashing through

[Chorus]
You are written in the water and the stone, Chris
In the space between the lightning and the bone
Every current that has pulled you made you stronger
You were never lost — you were always finding home

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient that refuses to be named
A private constellation that won't ask to be explained
You've built your walls so carefully, each brick a tender scar
But what you keep protected is your most illumined part
You give before they ask you and you serve before you rest
And that unspoken hunger — to be known — you know it best

[PreChorus]
The pull between the freedom and the duty you were born
Has sharpened you to something bright and luminous and worn

[Chorus]
You are written in the water and the stone, Chris
In the space between the lightning and the bone
Every current that has pulled you made you stronger
You were never lost — you were always finding home

[Verse 3]
The world you see beneath the surface most won't ever find
A poetic kind of knowing lives like music in your mind
You've wrestled with your own depths where the light gets thin and strange
And come back carrying lanterns from the places you have changed
You don't need to be perfect — you were never meant to be
You were meant to be this rare and irreplaceable thing

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't fade
You are more than what you've carried and more than what you've made

[Chorus]
You are written in the water and the stone, Chris
In the space between the lightning and the bone
Every current that has pulled you made you stronger
You were never lost — you were always finding home

[Bridge]
Let the tides move through you, let the deep run clear
Everything you are is everything you need right here
You were held before you knew it, you were seen before you asked
You are the light and you are worthy — and you always were, at last

[Outro]
The stars that shaped you haven't finished with you yet
You are guidance, you are grace, you are not done
Rest now in the knowing — you were always enough, Chris
Everything you are has only just begun
