[Verse 1]
She holds the earth steady, roots down in the ground,
A quiet kind of power that barely makes a sound,
She shows up every morning with her sleeves already rolled,
There's a fire underneath the calm, a story rarely told,
She carries other people like it costs her nothing dear,
But the weight she lifts for everyone — who lifts it when she's here?

[PreChorus]
She was built from mountain stone and ocean tide,
A lion at the doorway with a whole world kept inside.

[Chorus]
Lori, you are written in the oldest kind of light,
The cosmos mapped you carefully and got the measure right,
You don't have to earn your place, you've always belonged here,
Lori, every part of you is something to hold dear.

[Verse 2]
She loves like a conversation, warm and sharp and free,
She'll meet you in the middle of your best philosophy,
She's served the ones around her with a steady, faithful hand,
But she sometimes forgets her own name when she's filling their demand,
The heart that gives before it's asked is rare and it is real —
She was never asking to be saved, just asking to be seen.

[PreChorus]
She's descended into darkness more than once to find the light,
She came back with something golden every single time.

[Chorus]
Lori, you are written in the oldest kind of light,
The cosmos mapped you carefully and got the measure right,
You don't have to earn your place, you've always belonged here,
Lori, every part of you is something to hold dear.

[Verse 3]
She's got a mind that moves like lightning when a new idea lands,
And a soul that won't be boxed in by the world's familiar plans,
She's felt the ache of not quite fitting what the room expects,
But that distance she has always felt is just her nature — not a debt,
She's walked through trust that crumbled and came out the other side,
What she thought was a wound became the compass she lives by.

[PreChorus]
There's a sanctuary forming in the center of her chest,
She was always heading home — she just forgot to rest.

[Chorus]
Lori, you are written in the oldest kind of light,
The cosmos mapped you carefully and got the measure right,
You don't have to earn your place, you've always belonged here,
Lori, every part of you is something to hold dear.

[Bridge]
She doesn't have to fix herself to finally be whole,
The imperfection is the beauty, it's the fingerprint of her soul,
The world needs what she carries, every scar and every seam,
She is exactly who she came here to be.

[Outro]
So let the stars bear witness to the life she's built from grace,
She was never lost — just learning to take up all her space,
The ground beneath her knows her name, the light has always known,
Lori, you were never, ever walking this alone.
