[Verse 1]
She weighs every word before it leaves her lips,
Finds the balance in the breaks, the truth between the slips,
A mind that moves like water, always seeking level ground,
The quietest of currents make the most enduring sound,
They see the grace she carries, not the tide beneath the calm,
Not the years it took to turn her restlessness to balm,

[PreChorus]
She's been the one who held the room together at the seams,
Learning slowly it's enough to tend her own becoming dreams,

[Chorus]
Michelle, you were written in the in-between,
The scales and the storm and the spaces unseen,
Every question you carried was already the key,
Michelle, the universe mapped you carefully,

[Verse 2]
She loves like something ancient pulled from underground,
All or nothing, soul first, no shallows to be found,
A loyalty so steady it could outlast any stone,
But she's built a second language out of bearing things alone,
The fire in her rises before the world can catch its breath,
She's already walking forward while they're counting to the next,

[PreChorus]
She's carried what was heavy like it simply had to be,
Now the weight itself becomes the map of who she's free to be,

[Chorus]
Michelle, you were written in the in-between,
The scales and the storm and the spaces unseen,
Every question you carried was already the key,
Michelle, the universe mapped you carefully,

[Verse 3]
She finds herself in language, in the turning of a phrase,
In the thousand ways of thinking through the ordinary days,
A healer who still wonders if her own wounds count as real,
Who gives before she's asked and then forgets she's there to feel,
But the stars that bent to shape her left their mark in all she's made,
Every scar a quiet lantern, every doubt a debt that's paid,

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need to prove the worth that lives beneath her skin,
The truest kind of courage is in letting light back in,

[Chorus]
Michelle, you were written in the in-between,
The scales and the storm and the spaces unseen,
Every question you carried was already the key,
Michelle, the universe mapped you carefully,

[Bridge]
There's a compass in her keeping that has always pointed true,
The world needs what she carries and she's finally breaking through,
She was never too much, never not enough to stay,
She was always, always meant to find her way,

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing you are held beneath the sky,
Every road that made you question was the road that made you rise,
You are grounded, you are guided, you are whole,
Michelle, the cosmos wrote you carefully in gold,
