[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold your ground,
Like a root that runs so deep it makes no sound,
They see the calm, the steadiness, the grace,
They don't see the ocean churning underneath that face,
You carry worlds inside you, whole and vast,
Every feeling that you've swallowed, every shadow that has passed,
And the war between your wanting and your will,
Is a kind of holy music you have learned to keep still

[PreChorus]
But the depth in you is not a weight to bear,
It's the proof of how much beauty you can hold and still be there

[Chorus]
Taylor, you are rivers and you're stone,
You are everything you've built from being broken and alone,
You're the quiet kind of fire that burns slow and burns true,
Taylor, there's a whole sky full of stars that were made for someone like you

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, wide and brave,
You dive before you're ready, giving everything you gave,
There's a hunger in your heart that asks for real,
Not the surface-level shallow, but the things you've learned to feel,
And sometimes love has cost you more than you could name,
Left you searching in the silence, wondering if you were to blame,
But that willingness to open, that refusal to go numb,
Is the bravest thing a person in this tender world can become

[PreChorus]
You don't guard yourself from coldness, you just learned to guard your light,
And everything you've sheltered in the dark still burns so bright

[Chorus]
Taylor, you are rivers and you're stone,
You are everything you've built from being broken and alone,
You're the quiet kind of fire that burns slow and burns true,
Taylor, there's a whole sky full of stars that were made for someone like you

[Verse 3]
There's a mind in you that moves through hidden rooms,
That senses what is coming long before the storm assumes,
You've felt like no one heard you, like your words fell through the floor,
Like you'd spent yourself explaining and still had to explain some more,
But the way you read a room, the way you feel what isn't said,
Is a gift most people spend their whole lives reaching for instead,
And the vision you've been carrying, the world you know could be,
Is the kind of quiet revolution only few are built to see

[PreChorus]
You were never too much, never hard to understand,
You were just too deep for shallow water, waiting for the land

[Chorus]
Taylor, you are rivers and you're stone,
You are everything you've built from being broken and alone,
You're the quiet kind of fire that burns slow and burns true,
Taylor, there's a whole sky full of stars that were made for someone like you

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn your place in the morning light,
You don't have to keep your feelings hid from sight,
The moon above the Pisces tide, the bull who holds his ground,
You are steadfast and you're dreaming and you're finally being found,
Every scar became a story, every wound became a quilt,
And the life that you are living is the life that you have built

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing that the universe took care,
Writing you so carefully into the exact right place and time and air,
You are rooted, you are tidal, you are steady, you are real,
And you are so much more than anything you've ever had to feel
