[Verse 1]
There's a current underneath the still you show the world
A mind that reads between the lines before the lines unfurl
You carry what you know like stone, like something carved and true
And everyone sees confidence, not what it cost you to
You've mapped the depths of others long before they knew the way
You learned to hold your ground by learning how much you could weigh

[PreChorus]
But the armor and the hunger aren't at war inside your chest
They're the same thing — being known is all you've ever asked

[Chorus]
Annie, you were written in the deep and in the fire
You burn through what is hollow, you were built for something higher
Annie, all the oceans you have swallowed to stay whole
Are not your weakness, they're the watermark of your soul

[Verse 2]
You love with something ancient, like a tide that won't be tamed
You don't do halfway, halfway's never once been where you aimed
You can sense what isn't spoken, feel the fractures in a room
You absorb what others carry and call it your own wound
There's a restless flame inside you pointed toward the true
The kind of love that changes people when they're loved by you

[PreChorus]
And if you've ever felt too much, too deep, too hard to hold
That's not a flaw — that's every gift you own

[Chorus]
Annie, you were written in the deep and in the fire
You burn through what is hollow, you were built for something higher
Annie, all the oceans you have swallowed to stay whole
Are not your weakness, they're the watermark of your soul

[Verse 3]
You've questioned every ceiling, every doctrine, every wall
You don't believe in surface-level answers, if at all
You've walked through rooms that didn't fit and searched for why it burned
You've traded easy comfort for the harder things you've earned
There's a philosopher inside you and a healer and a guide
But the one who needs the gentlest hand has always lived inside

[PreChorus]
You give before you're asked, you stay when others go
Now give yourself the grace you've given everyone you know

[Chorus]
Annie, you were written in the deep and in the fire
You burn through what is hollow, you were built for something higher
Annie, all the oceans you have swallowed to stay whole
Are not your weakness, they're the watermark of your soul

[Verse 4]
The world you're building quietly is one they'll feel before they see
You don't need to be louder — you just need to let it be
The ache you've carried since the start was always something more
A compass pointing inward to what you were living for
You are worth what you've been seeking in every face and place
You were whole before you started and you're whole inside this space

[PreChorus]
The stars didn't scatter you — they shaped you into this
Every dark you've moved through was the making of your gift

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to rest, to breathe, to stay
You were enough before you proved a single thing today
The universe has held your name since long before your birth
Let someone finally tell you — you have always been worth it

[Outro]
Annie, you were written in the deep and in the fire
You are the depth, the searching, and the light that doesn't tire
You are enough — you always were — the cosmos knows your name
