[Verse 1]
There's a fire underneath the quiet you wear,
A restless flame that moves before the world is aware,
You read the room before a word has been said,
You carry a thousand thoughts no one knows live in your head,
They see the steady ground, they don't see the tide,
All those currents running deep and wide inside.

[PreChorus]
You've learned to guard your heart like something rare and true,
But every wall you built was just love protecting you.

[Chorus]
Laurie, you were written in the arc of the sky,
A truth-teller, a feeler, a reason and a why,
You are rooted and you're reaching, you are ancient and new,
The cosmos drew you carefully and got everything right about you.

[Verse 2]
You think in layers where the others think in lines,
You sense the thing beneath the thing, you read between the signs,
You love with a devotion that takes years to unfold,
Not the kind that shouts or dazzles — quiet, faithful, gold,
You give before they ask, you stay when others leave,
You're the one who holds it steady while the rest of them grieve.

[PreChorus]
The world has asked you to be smaller than you are,
But you were never meant to dim — you were made to be a scar turned star.

[Chorus]
Laurie, you were written in the arc of the sky,
A truth-teller, a feeler, a reason and a why,
You are rooted and you're reaching, you are ancient and new,
The cosmos drew you carefully and got everything right about you.

[Verse 3]
You've walked through seasons that were heavier than stone,
Done the kind of inner work that's always done alone,
You've questioned your own worth in the silence of the night,
Wondered if the effort ever tilts toward the light,
It does — it always did — the evidence is there,
In every time you chose to love when you could've chosen air.

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn the right to rest inside your skin,
The life you're looking for has always lived within.

[Chorus]
Laurie, you were written in the arc of the sky,
A truth-teller, a feeler, a reason and a why,
You are rooted and you're reaching, you are ancient and new,
The cosmos drew you carefully and got everything right about you.

[Verse 4]
You were born to cross the distance between mind and soul,
To take the broken pieces and make meaning of the whole,
There's a purpose in the way you see what others overlook,
A kind of quiet wisdom that can't be learned from books,
You are not behind, not lost, not running out of time,
You are exactly where the stars intended at their prime.

[PreChorus]
So let the fire in your chest be the compass and the call,
You were never too much — you were never too small.

[Chorus]
Laurie, you were written in the arc of the sky,
A truth-teller, a feeler, a reason and a why,
You are rooted and you're reaching, you are ancient and new,
The cosmos drew you carefully and got everything right about you.

[Bridge]
Every scar became a doorway, every doubt became a key,
You are not what happened to you — you are who you chose to be,
The universe has held your name since long before your birth,
There has never been a moment you weren't worthy of this earth.

[Outro]
So rest here in the knowing, let the searching finally cease,
You are seen, you are enough, you are held in all of this.
