[Verse 1]
There's a fire behind your eyes that speaks before you do,
A mind that chases meaning, always hunting something true,
You walk into a room and every quiet corner bends,
But no one sees the current where the stillness starts and ends,
You've mapped a hundred landscapes in the spaces no one charts,
A horizon-chaser carrying the weight of tender parts

[PreChorus]
They see the light you carry, the warmth you freely give,
They don't see how hard you've worked just to learn how to live

[Chorus]
Michelle, you're more than what they've read of you,
The depth you hide is where your power runs through,
Every wound you've carried became something true,
The stars were written carefully, and they wrote you

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient pulling tides beneath the ground,
A devotion so complete it almost never makes a sound,
You crave the kind of merging that goes soul beneath the skin,
But you've built such careful borders around everything within,
A heart that gives before it's asked, a strength that heals by stealth,
You've poured into so many while you quietly starved yourself

[PreChorus]
The calm you show the world is real, but it doesn't tell it all,
There's a whole ocean underneath that carries every fall

[Chorus]
Michelle, you're more than what they've read of you,
The depth you hide is where your power runs through,
Every wound you've carried became something true,
The stars were written carefully, and they wrote you

[Verse 3]
You've felt the ache of homesick even when you're standing home,
A longing low and formless, like a thing you've always known,
The need to make things perfect so the world can feel more safe,
But the cracks you've tried to cover are what let in all the grace,
You've questioned if your presence leaves a mark worth leaving here,
And the answer's in every room that shifts when you appear

[PreChorus]
Stop measuring your worth against a standard set in stone,
You were never meant to carry all those distances alone

[Chorus]
Michelle, you're more than what they've read of you,
The depth you hide is where your power runs through,
Every wound you've carried became something true,
The stars were written carefully, and they wrote you

[Verse 4]
There's a compass inside you pointing somewhere soft and wide,
Past the noise of expectation, past the places you can hide,
You don't need to earn your rest or prove the truth of what you feel,
The vision and the dreaming and the asking — all of it is real,
Let the order and the longing and the hunger finally blend,
You were always your beginning and you were never near the end

[PreChorus]
The universe has held your shape since longer than you know,
Everything you are right now is everything you need to show

[Chorus]
Michelle, you're more than what they've read of you,
The depth you hide is where your power runs through,
Every wound you've carried became something true,
The stars were written carefully, and they wrote you

[Bridge]
You are not the sum of all the things you've had to prove,
Not the masks you wore for others or the ground you thought you'd lose,
There is something undiminished in the centre of your chest,
And the world needs what you carry — give it, and forget the rest

[Outro]
Let the night sky hold you like it always has,
You belong to something wider than the gaps,
You are guided, you are rooted, you are found,
Michelle, you were always sacred ground
