[Verse 1]
There's a mind inside you like a surgeon's hand,
That notices the cracks no one else understands,
You hold the world to a standard clean and true,
Then quietly forget to hold that grace for you,
You've built your worth on what you do and prove,
But you were enough before you ever had to move

[PreChorus]
The calm they see is just the surface of the tide,
There's an ocean running deep and wide inside

[Chorus]
Written in the dark between the earth and sky,
Amanda, you were made to ask the reason why,
The stars arranged themselves around a searching soul,
You were never meant to be half — only whole

[Verse 2]
You love like something steady, like a harbor light,
Like a warm hand reaching out in the middle of the night,
You give before they ask and pour before you're dry,
You've worn the weight of others like a lullaby,
But the heart that heals so many has its own quiet ache,
And the love you pour so freely — you deserve to take

[PreChorus]
The calm they see is just the surface of the tide,
There's an ocean running deep and wide inside

[Chorus]
Written in the dark between the earth and sky,
Amanda, you were made to ask the reason why,
The stars arranged themselves around a searching soul,
You were never meant to be half — only whole

[Verse 3]
There's a wanderer in you that the small rooms never held,
A hunger for the truth beneath the stories we've been told,
You've crossed the distance in your mind a thousand times before,
Always looking past the ceiling for a wider door,
That restless reach is not a flaw you need to tame,
It's the compass buried in you always pointing toward the flame

[PreChorus]
The path was written long before you chose the road,
You don't have to earn the right to set it down, the load

[Chorus]
Written in the dark between the earth and sky,
Amanda, you were made to ask the reason why,
The stars arranged themselves around a searching soul,
You were never meant to be half — only whole

[Verse 4]
You've felt things shatter you and then watched yourself rebuild,
Every wound became a doorway, every silence what it filled,
There's a power in the way you've walked through what would break another soul,
Not loud, not burning — just a quiet, steady coal,
The world will need the wisdom only you have learned to hold,
Don't give your gifts away like they were never meant to show

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
You are guided, you are held, you are not afraid

[Chorus]
Written in the dark between the earth and sky,
Amanda, you were made to ask the reason why,
The stars arranged themselves around a searching soul,
You were never meant to be half — only whole

[Bridge]
You don't need to be perfect, just present and true,
The universe has always been arranging itself for you,
Every scar a testament, every doubt a bridge you crossed,
You were never broken — only deepened by the cost

[Outro]
So rest inside the knowing that the light was always yours,
You were written into something wide and ancient at the core,
Amanda, you are enough — you always were before
