[Verse 1]
Still waters on the surface, tides beneath the ground,
A mind that chases every thought before it can be found,
She carries what she cannot say in the quiet of her hands,
Builds her life like solid earth, like something meant to stand,
They see the calm, they never see the current running deep,
All the worlds she tends by day, the ones she holds in sleep,

[PreChorus]
She gives before she's asked, loves before she's sure,
There's ancient gold inside her that the world can't measure more,

[Chorus]
Tammy, you were written in the slow and steady fire,
Built from roots and moonlit hills and something reaching higher,
Tammy, all the pieces fit, the tender and the strong,
You have always been enough, you have always belonged,

[Verse 2]
There's a voice inside that questions if the work was ever done,
If the effort counted, if the proving ever won,
But the hands that hold a thousand tasks are hands that hold the light,
And the heart that gives so quietly is burning just as bright,
You've learned to earn your place when it was always yours to keep,
Every wall you built for safety holds the treasure that you need,

[PreChorus]
You don't have to fix the world to prove your worth is real,
The truest kind of strength is learning also how to feel,

[Chorus]
Tammy, you were written in the slow and steady fire,
Built from roots and moonlit hills and something reaching higher,
Tammy, all the pieces fit, the tender and the strong,
You have always been enough, you have always belonged,

[Verse 3]
There's a compass at your center pointing somewhere all your own,
Past the edges of the maps you've known, past every comfort zone,
You love like something ancient, wide, and patient as the land,
Like a river finding purpose in the pressure of the sand,
The future calls your name in voices only you can hear,
And the life you're meant to live has always waited right here,

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that does not fade,
Every scar became a story, every doubt a choice you made,

[Chorus]
Tammy, you were written in the slow and steady fire,
Built from roots and moonlit hills and something reaching higher,
Tammy, all the pieces fit, the tender and the strong,
You have always been enough, you have always belonged,

[Bridge]
Let the mountain in you rest, let the dreamer come to shore,
You were never meant to carry every burden anymore,
What you are is not the sum of everything you've done,
You are guided, you are held, you are loved by everyone,

[Outro]
The stars kept every secret of the woman you would be,
Tammy, you were always home, you were always free,
