[Verse 1]
She carries stillness like a second skin,
A quiet depth that few are ever let in,
Her mind moves fast but her roots hold the ground,
She speaks before thinking and still makes it sound,
She gives before asking and loves without seams,
A woman made sturdy and stitched out of dreams

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those currents running deep inside

[Chorus]
Michelle, you are ancient and wide,
A fire that moves with the moon as your guide,
You are steady and wild and both at once true,
The universe wrote itself carefully in you

[Verse 2]
She fixes the world so she won't feel the ache,
She pours into others till her own vessels break,
She'd carry the weight of a room on her own,
And smile at the door before the struggle is known,
But every act of service she has quietly given,
Is proof of a soul that was born to be driven

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those currents running deep inside

[Chorus]
Michelle, you are ancient and wide,
A fire that moves with the moon as your guide,
You are steady and wild and both at once true,
The universe wrote itself carefully in you

[Verse 3]
She walks between duty and the need to be free,
Between who the world wants and who she knows she can be,
Her love is a slow burn, a loyal and long thing,
Not given to those who won't tend to the offering,
She's descended through darkness and come back with light,
There's a compass inside her that always points right

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those currents running deep inside

[Chorus]
Michelle, you are ancient and wide,
A fire that moves with the moon as your guide,
You are steady and wild and both at once true,
The universe wrote itself carefully in you

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn what was yours from the start,
The world needs the wisdom you hold in your heart,
Let the striving rest easy, let the proving go,
You were enough before anyone told you so

[Outro]
The stars didn't scatter your story by chance,
Every wound, every wonder was part of the dance,
Michelle, you are grounded, you are held, you are here,
You were always exactly what the sky wanted near
