[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the quiet, a crown beneath the calm,
A mind that reads the room before the words come along,
You carry other people's weight like it's easy, like it's light,
But the ocean underneath you runs so deep it hides from sight,
You've built your worth in what you do, not what you are,
And every scar you turned to coal became a star,

[PreChorus]
You think in tides, you feel in flame,
The world sees steady, not the storm behind your name,

[Chorus]
Alex, you were written in the long way round,
Every hidden depth in you is hallowed ground,
You don't have to burn to prove you carry light,
You were always whole, you were always right,

[Verse 2]
You love in careful detail, in the things you don't say out loud,
In the way you show up quietly beneath the crowd,
You've felt the pull of closeness and the fear inside that door,
The ache of being misread by the ones you're living for,
But the way you give before you're asked, the way you stay,
That's not a wound, that's ancient grace in full display,

[PreChorus]
You reach for love that grows your soul and breaks the mold,
You've always known the truth runs deeper than what you've been told,

[Chorus]
Alex, you were written in the long way round,
Every hidden depth in you is hallowed ground,
You don't have to burn to prove you carry light,
You were always whole, you were always right,

[Verse 3]
You've searched for something solid you could finally believe,
A truth that didn't crumble when the doubt began to breathe,
The freedom that you hunger for was never far away,
It lives inside the courage to just let yourself be strange,
The world is going to need the things you carry and create,
Stop waiting for permission, you were never running late,

[PreChorus]
The path ahead was always carved for someone like you,
A trailblazer in quiet shoes with something to move through,

[Chorus]
Alex, you were written in the long way round,
Every hidden depth in you is hallowed ground,
You don't have to burn to prove you carry light,
You were always whole, you were always right,

[Bridge]
The cosmos didn't write you in a hurry or by chance,
Your Pisces moon holds oceans, your Leo heart holds dance,
Every restless midnight was a map you didn't lose,
You are guided, you are held, you get to choose,

[Outro]
So breathe into the person that the stars already see,
Not perfect, not unfinished — just completely free,
You are enough, exactly as you are right now,
The universe already knew — it always knew somehow,
