[Verse 1]
She carries the world like it weighs nothing at all
Still water on the surface, deep oceans below
She'll fix what is broken before she'll admit
That something inside her is cracking a bit
She moves with a patience that looks like peace
But she's been holding her breath just to keep the release

[PreChorus]
She gives before she's asked, she loves before she's sure
There's a fire behind the quiet, and it burns so pure

[Chorus]
Annette, you are the bedrock and the bloom
The steady hand that holds the light across the room
You don't have to earn the space that you fill
You were written in the marrow of the world, and you always will

[Verse 2]
She talks with her hands and thinks with her heart
She's been reading the room since the very start
Every detail a clue, every silence a sign
She notices everything, draws the whole line
She's been told she's too much and not enough too
But the ones who stayed longest know none of that's true

[PreChorus]
She's built things from nothing with just her bare will
And she's learning that resting is a kind of strength still

[Chorus]
Annette, you are the bedrock and the bloom
The steady hand that holds the light across the room
You don't have to earn the space that you fill
You were written in the marrow of the world, and you always will

[Verse 3]
She loves like she means it, no half-hearted way
She's been burned by the spark but she'd do it again today
There's a hunger for truth that she keeps underground
She's been searching for something she never quite found
But the searching itself is the shape of the gift
Every question she carries is a ceiling that lifts

[PreChorus]
She's not lost, she's just standing between who she's been
And the version of herself that the world's yet to see

[Chorus]
Annette, you are the bedrock and the bloom
The steady hand that holds the light across the room
You don't have to earn the space that you fill
You were written in the marrow of the world, and you always will

[Bridge]
The cracks in the ground are where the green things grow
You've carried enough, now let somebody know
The universe carved you from something that lasts
You are not your hard seasons, you are not your past

[Outro]
The roots go deep where no one else can see
Annette, you are exactly who you were born to be
