[Verse 1]
She keeps the surface still, like water over stone,
A quiet kind of strength that she has always carried alone,
Her roots run deeper than the eye can ever find,
A whole world turning softly in the landscape of her mind,
She holds the ones she loves like they're the ground beneath her feet,
And builds her life like something meant to last, not just compete,

[PreChorus]
But underneath the steady ground, a tide is always turning,
An ocean full of feeling that she's spent a lifetime learning,

[Chorus]
Michelle, you are more than what the surface shows,
A depth that only deepens as the current flows,
The earth and sea inside you finally find their way,
Michelle, you were written by the stars and built to stay,

[Verse 2]
She's loved like striking flint against the cold and quiet air,
Brave enough to open first, brave enough to dare,
But love has left its watermarks, its lessons and its scars,
She learned to guard the treasure chest and still reach for the stars,
She gives before she's asked and feels before she's told,
There's a fire in how she loves that never really grows cold,

[PreChorus]
The walls she built were wisdom once, and wisdom, they remain,
But every door she opens now lets in more light than rain,

[Chorus]
Michelle, you are more than what the surface shows,
A depth that only deepens as the current flows,
The earth and sea inside you finally find their way,
Michelle, you were written by the stars and built to stay,

[Verse 3]
She's carried what she cannot name in silence and in pride,
The longing to be truly heard, the words she keeps inside,
She thinks in roots and reasons, slow and steady to the bone,
But the mind she's never doubted is the finest one she's known,
They see the calm, they miss the tide, they miss the undertow,
The version of her no one sees is the most real one she knows,

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need to prove the weight of everything she's worth,
She is the kind of rare that was already written at her birth,

[Chorus]
Michelle, you are more than what the surface shows,
A depth that only deepens as the current flows,
The earth and sea inside you finally find their way,
Michelle, you were written by the stars and built to stay,

[Verse 4]
She's meant for something larger than the roles she's had to hold,
A compass always pointing toward a truer kind of bold,
The world she dreams of building isn't made of stone and pride,
It's made of honest mercy, of the light she carries inside,
She is the hand extended and the harbor in the dark,
And every wound she's weathered only sharpened up her mark,

[PreChorus]
The sky has held her name since long before she learned to speak,
She is the strength the searching world has always come to seek,

[Chorus]
Michelle, you are more than what the surface shows,
A depth that only deepens as the current flows,
The earth and sea inside you finally find their way,
Michelle, you were written by the stars and built to stay,

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
You were never half a thing, you've always been complete,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
You are held, you are enough, you are exactly what was made,

[Outro]
Let the tide inside you rise without apology or shame,
The universe has always known, and always called your name,
You are rooted and you're rising, and you've always been enough,
Michelle, you are exactly made of all the right stuff,
