[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface of the lake at night,
But underneath, a current pulling hard toward the light,
You read a room before you cross the door,
You see what's true in people to their core,
You carry what you notice like a stone inside your chest,
And still you show up steadier than the rest

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they miss the tide,
All that depth you've learned to hide

[Chorus]
Wendy, you were written in the deep,
In the oldest water, in the darkest sleep,
Every scar you carry is a map, not a wound,
You are the midnight river and the rising moon

[Verse 2]
You've guarded what you're worth like it might break or bend,
You've given love like ceremony, all or nothing, to the end,
And when they didn't see the gift you brought,
You stitched it up in silence and you carried on,
But what you called your armour was already grace,
What you kept behind your composure lit the place

[PreChorus]
You've built so much from what was lost,
And never told a soul the cost

[Chorus]
Wendy, you were written in the deep,
In the oldest water, in the darkest sleep,
Every scar you carry is a map, not a wound,
You are the midnight river and the rising moon

[Verse 3]
The world needs what you carry, every layered thought,
Every truth you've excavated, every lesson bought,
You love like something ancient and refined,
Like a door held open, like a hand in kind,
You don't need to prove a single thing again,
The ones worth keeping always, always stay

[PreChorus]
You are not too much, you are not too small,
You were made for this, exactly as you are

[Chorus]
Wendy, you were written in the deep,
In the oldest water, in the darkest sleep,
Every scar you carry is a map, not a wound,
You are the midnight river and the rising moon

[Bridge]
The cosmos carved you carefully with ink that holds,
A soul that bends toward beauty and the truths untold,
You have always been enough, you have always been the light,
A deep and steady fire burning clean and bright

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing you are found,
You are held, you are seen, you are solid ground
