[Verse 1]
She carries the weight of a thousand quiet thoughts,
A mind that maps the world before the morning starts,
She reads between the lines that no one else can see,
Two rivers running through her, wild and steady,
The spark that lights a room before she says a word,
The softest voice inside her, half-afraid to be heard,

[PreChorus]
She gives before she's asked, she holds before she's held,
There's more beneath the surface than she's ever told,

[Chorus]
Debra, you were written in a careful hand,
Every twist and turning was already planned,
The sky knew what it made when it made you whole,
A brilliant, burning, beautifully complicated soul,

[Verse 2]
She's the calm that everybody leans on in the storm,
The one who smooths the edges, keeps the others warm,
But who reaches back for her when the long day's done,
Who sees the quiet aching underneath the sun,
She's built a life from everything she chose to hold,
And every scar she carries is a line of solid gold,

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need permission to take up her space,
This life was made to hold her, every part, every grace,

[Chorus]
Debra, you were written in a careful hand,
Every twist and turning was already planned,
The sky knew what it made when it made you whole,
A brilliant, burning, beautifully complicated soul,

[Verse 3]
She loves like something ancient, steady, deep, and wide,
Like a tide that pulls you gently to the better side,
She needs the kind of closeness that leaves room to breathe,
A hand that doesn't hold her like it needs to keep,
She has spent too many seasons giving ground away,
Now the roots are deep enough for her to finally stay,

[PreChorus]
The world has needed everything she thought was small,
Her quiet way of seeing is the realest gift of all,

[Chorus]
Debra, you were written in a careful hand,
Every twist and turning was already planned,
The sky knew what it made when it made you whole,
A brilliant, burning, beautifully complicated soul,

[Verse 4]
She's been in the fire and she's learned the fire's name,
She came out of the darkest rooms and never looked the same,
Not broken, just rewritten in a deeper, truer way,
Not lost, just learning slowly how to let herself be safe,
There's a compass at her center pointing home through every night,
And the universe has always had her walking into light,

[PreChorus]
She doesn't have to earn the love that's always been her right,
She was enough at the beginning, she is enough tonight,

[Chorus]
Debra, you were written in a careful hand,
Every twist and turning was already planned,
The sky knew what it made when it made you whole,
A brilliant, burning, beautifully complicated soul,

[Bridge]
Let the moon hold what the daylight couldn't carry,
Let the ground beneath her keep the things that weighed,
She is not the sum of all she had to bury,
She is every beautiful brave choice she ever made,

[Outro]
The stars don't make mistakes, they made her first,
She was always worth the whole wide universe,
