[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the quiet you wear
A tide that pulls at midnight when nobody's there
You think in poetry, you feel in undertow
You carry what you've witnessed and it doesn't show
The world sees steady waters, still and composed
But you've always been the deepest where the current goes

[PreChorus]
You've held so much for others, set your own needs aside
All that giving took courage, not something you need to hide

[Chorus]
Deanne, you are written in water and light
A soul too vast for ordinary nights
Every layer you carry, every scar that you've earned
Is the wisdom of a lifetime beautifully learned

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like lightning across an open sky
Questions tucked inside questions, always asking why
You love like a conversation that never runs dry
Close enough to feel it all, free enough to fly
They want simple answers, but you live in the deep
Where the truth worth having is the kind you have to seek

[PreChorus]
You've walked through fires quietly, rebuilt yourself alone
And every time you rose again, you came back more your own

[Chorus]
Deanne, you are written in water and light
A soul too vast for ordinary nights
Every layer you carry, every scar that you've earned
Is the wisdom of a lifetime beautifully learned

[Verse 3]
You've known what it feels like when trust turned to dust
When love asked for everything and gave back so little in trust
But you didn't harden—you just learned to see clear
You kept the door open and released what wasn't here
That's not a wound anymore, it's a lantern you bear
A light for the ones still lost and finding their way there

[PreChorus]
The universe has shaped you through the shadow and the shine
Everything you've lived through was already by design

[Chorus]
Deanne, you are written in water and light
A soul too vast for ordinary nights
Every layer you carry, every scar that you've earned
Is the wisdom of a lifetime beautifully learned

[Verse 4]
You don't need to keep proving there's enough of you here
You were enough before the world taught you to fear
There's a compass in your center that has always known home
Even in the seasons when you've carried it alone
The stars mapped you carefully, with purpose and care
There is nothing accidental about the soul standing there

[PreChorus]
You are held by something ancient, something faithful and true
The whole of the cosmos leaned in just to make someone like you

[Chorus]
Deanne, you are written in water and light
A soul too vast for ordinary nights
Every layer you carry, every scar that you've earned
Is the wisdom of a lifetime beautifully learned

[Bridge]
Rest now, you have earned the right to be still
Your depth is not a burden, it's a gift and it always will
You don't have to earn your place in the light
You were born belonging to it, Deanne, you're already right

[Outro]
The moon remembers every version of you
And every single one of them was true
You are enough, you have always been enough
Written in starlight, in softness, in love
