[Verse 1]
You read the room before a word is said
You carry worlds that live inside your head
The surface still, the undertow runs deep
A dreamer wide awake who doesn't sleep
You feel the things that others walk right past
Built soft enough to bend, but built to last

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide
All those fathoms you've been keeping inside

[Chorus]
Linda, you were written in the deep
In the language of the water, not the sleep
Every wave you've weathered carved your face
Linda, you were born to hold this space

[Verse 2]
You've carried questions like a second skin
About whether all your effort counts as win
You worked so hard to prove the proof was true
Not knowing worth was always there in you
The world called out for someone it could trust
And you rose up — not for the crown, but just because

[PreChorus]
You've stood in open fields through every storm
And called the devastation your reform

[Chorus]
Linda, you were written in the deep
In the language of the water, not the sleep
Every wave you've weathered carved your face
Linda, you were born to hold this space

[Verse 3]
You love like something ancient and unnamed
Like a fire that doesn't need to be explained
You give before you're asked, you see before you're shown
You make a home of every place you've known
But oh, the ones who get the real of you
They're standing in a light they never knew

[PreChorus]
You don't need to dissolve to be adored
You've always been the compass and the north

[Chorus]
Linda, you were written in the deep
In the language of the water, not the sleep
Every wave you've weathered carved your face
Linda, you were born to hold this space

[Verse 4]
The future's not a place you have to earn
It's every lesson folded from a burn
Your restless mind's a map, not a mistake
Your sensitivity, a gift — not something to forsake
The cosmos didn't rush when writing you
They took their time and got the details true

[PreChorus]
So let the tides bring in what's always been yours
You don't have to keep explaining at the door

[Chorus]
Linda, you were written in the deep
In the language of the water, not the sleep
Every wave you've weathered carved your face
Linda, you were born to hold this space

[Bridge]
You are not too much, you were never too wide
The depth that they couldn't follow — that was your guide
Stop shrinking the sky just to fit in a room
You are the ocean, the current, the moon

[Outro]
So rest now, let the current carry home
You are seen, you are held, you are not alone
Every scar a stitch in something whole
Linda, the stars made room for your soul
