[Verse 1]
She lives between the current and the shore
Feeling everything the world has words for
A quiet room, a universe inside
The tide comes in and she lets the waves decide
She carries depth that most will never find
An ocean dressed in calm, an endless mind

[PreChorus]
They see the still, they don't see the undertow
All that she holds, the parts she doesn't show

[Chorus]
Darlene, you were written by the water and the light
Every wave that broke you made you harder to unwrite
You don't have to surface just to prove that you are real
You are already whole in everything you feel

[Verse 2]
She loves like something patient, like the earth
Like she's been saving all of it since birth
She gives before she's asked, she stays too long
She's built her worth in silence, quiet and strong
But somewhere in the waiting, in the giving
There's a voice reminding her — this too is living

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need to earn the love already hers
She doesn't need to translate what the heart already knows

[Chorus]
Darlene, you were written by the water and the light
Every wave that broke you made you harder to unwrite
You don't have to surface just to prove that you are real
You are already whole in everything you feel

[Verse 3]
She's dreamed of something bigger, wide and free
A purpose built for more than what they see
She questions if her presence leaves a mark
If the fire she tends is visible in the dark
But the world is shaped by those who feel it all
Who rise with steady hands each time they fall

[PreChorus]
The path was never lost, it was always underneath
Every step she's taken was the answer she would need

[Chorus]
Darlene, you were written by the water and the light
Every wave that broke you made you harder to unwrite
You don't have to surface just to prove that you are real
You are already whole in everything you feel

[Bridge]
The sky didn't map her out by accident
Every scar she carries was already meant
She is not too much, she is not too deep
She is exactly what the world was asked to keep

[Outro]
Let the current carry what she couldn't hold alone
Every star that placed her here has always called her home
Darlene, you are enough — you always have been
You are whole, you are held, you are seen
