[Verse 1]
There's a mind that won't stop turning over every stone,
A need to make things right before you call the work your own,
You feel the weight of everything that isn't where it should be,
But that's the same precision that makes broken systems free,
You've carried quiet standards like a lantern in the cold,
And every careful detail is a story being told

[PreChorus]
They see the stillness on the water, not the current running deep,
They don't know what it costs you just to let yourself be free

[Chorus]
This is for you, Genoa, for the tides you hold inside,
For the way you build a world with your hands and quiet pride,
You don't have to earn your place here, you already belong,
Genoa, you were written in the marrow of a song

[Verse 2]
There's a longing at the root of you for somewhere safe to land,
A childhood room that echoed where you couldn't understand,
So you learned to be the shelter that you needed long ago,
Built walls that kept the weather out and let the garden grow,
The home you couldn't find back then you've been constructing since,
And every stone you've laid down is the evidence

[PreChorus]
You love like someone measuring the worth of what they give,
But grace doesn't need deserving just to live

[Chorus]
This is for you, Genoa, for the love you hold so tight,
For the way you reach for balance like a compass finding light,
You don't have to be perfect just to be someone worth holding,
Genoa, there's a wholeness in your beautiful unfolding

[Verse 3]
You've walked into a room and felt the temperature before,
Like something wired deeper reads the world beneath the door,
That dreaming, searching current underneath your steady face,
Is not confusion, it's a gift for navigating grace,
You've questioned your direction on the nights you couldn't see,
But the dreamer and the doer were always meant to be

[PreChorus]
The fire that you carry wants to mean something, wants to last,
And what you build today will still be standing when the moment's passed

[Chorus]
This is for you, Genoa, for the vision and the flame,
For the ones who felt your presence and were never quite the same,
You don't have to choose between the sky you dream and solid ground,
Genoa, you're the rarest kind of lost that still gets found

[Verse 4]
The world has asked you often just to soften and agree,
To fold your edges inward and become what they could see,
But underneath the surface of that gracious, measured art,
Is a depth that runs like rivers from the center of your heart,
You're learning now that having needs is not the same as lack,
And turning toward yourself is not a sign of turning back

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote you carefully in ink that doesn't fade,
You are not the doubt you carry, you're the light the doubt has made

[Chorus]
This is for you, Genoa, for the long and winding climb,
For the patience that you've kept through every unforgiving time,
You are held inside a story older than the northern sky,
Genoa, you were always worth the life you're learning to reclaim as mine

[Bridge]
You are rooted in the earth and reaching for the wide unknown,
Every scar became a lantern, every wound became a home,
The version of you no one sees is the truest one of all,
And you were never broken, you were building as you fall

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing that the work has been enough,
The stars that shaped your edges always knew that you were tough,
Genoa, you are grounded, you are guided, you are whole,
The universe was careful when it fashioned you a soul
