[Verse 1]
She carries oceans underneath a quiet face,
Feels the tide before it moves, reads every hidden place,
Her mind turns every word like stone until it's clean,
She loves the world so carefully, in all the space between,
There's a fire in her stillness that the surface doesn't show,
A depth that took the longest time to let itself be known,

[PreChorus]
She's built her whole life reaching out while holding herself in,
But everything she's carried quietly is where her strength begins,

[Chorus]
Shami, you are written in the water and the light,
An ancient kind of knowing wrapped in softness dressed in might,
Shami, all the pieces that you've questioned and concealed,
Are the most magnificent parts of you, the ones that make you real,

[Verse 2]
She thinks in feeling first, then shapes it into words,
Her empathy arrives before the message is heard,
She's earned her every view the long and careful way,
Through questions no one asked and truths too heavy to say,
She's learning that her worth was never something to be proved,
That stillness isn't stagnant, it's the ground beneath the move,

[PreChorus]
She's searched for solid footing on a path that kept on bending,
But every turn has led her toward a life that keeps expanding,

[Chorus]
Shami, you are written in the water and the light,
An ancient kind of knowing wrapped in softness dressed in might,
Shami, all the pieces that you've questioned and concealed,
Are the most magnificent parts of you, the ones that make you real,

[Verse 3]
She loves like something rooted, like a thing that will not break,
She gives before she's asked and rarely rests for her own sake,
She's learned through longing what a real connection needs to be,
Not borrowed peace or painted calm but chosen honestly,
The ones she lets inside will find a loyalty so rare,
A warmth that never wavers and a presence beyond compare,

[PreChorus]
She's carried more than anyone could see behind her eyes,
But tenderness was always where her truest courage lies,

[Chorus]
Shami, you are written in the water and the light,
An ancient kind of knowing wrapped in softness dressed in might,
Shami, all the pieces that you've questioned and concealed,
Are the most magnificent parts of you, the ones that make you real,

[Verse 4]
The same heart that has doubted is the compass pointing true,
There's a purpose underneath the searching, it was always you,
The world is held a little safer by the care you give,
Your quiet is a gift and so is every choice to live,
The sky above your birthplace knew exactly what it drew,
A soul who holds the infinite in everything she does,

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need to earn her place or silence any part,
The universe mapped every road that led back to her heart,

[Chorus]
Shami, you are written in the water and the light,
An ancient kind of knowing wrapped in softness dressed in might,
Shami, all the pieces that you've questioned and concealed,
Are the most magnificent parts of you, the ones that make you real,

[Bridge]
You don't have to hold it all together every single day,
The moon inside you rises whether or not the clouds give way,
You are held by something older than the weight you've ever known,
Every scar became a lantern on the road that led you home,

[Outro]
Let the tide come in, let the searching rest,
Shami, you were always, always more than good enough,
