[Verse 1]
She weighs every word before she lets it land,
She reads the room the way she reads her own hand,
There's a mind like a scale always finding its ground,
And a heart full of tides that don't make a sound,
She holds it together with elegant grace,
While the whole world inside her is searching for space,

[PreChorus]
She's been so careful, so measured, so fair,
Giving her best to the ones who are there,

[Chorus]
Vanessa, the balance you carry runs deep,
You're the calm on the surface, the current beneath,
You were written in starlight and woven in seams,
You are more than enough, you are more than you seem,

[Verse 2]
She sorts through the chaos to make herself safe,
Finds comfort in order, a well-tended space,
But the mess of being human still finds its way in,
And she's harder on herself than she's ever been,
That precision is tenderness turned on the mind,
A love of the truth she was born to find,

[PreChorus]
She's been holding the lantern for everyone's night,
Forgetting to step in her own circle of light,

[Chorus]
Vanessa, the balance you carry runs deep,
You're the calm on the surface, the current beneath,
You were written in starlight and woven in seams,
You are more than enough, you are more than you seem,

[Verse 3]
She loves like a fire that remembers your name,
Grand in her gestures, but quiet in pain,
She's ached to be seen past the poise and the art,
To be met at the door of her unguarded heart,
She's been building her worth from the outside in,
Not knowing the gold has always been within,

[PreChorus]
The path she was given curves deep before it clears,
And every twist has made her wise beyond her years,

[Chorus]
Vanessa, the balance you carry runs deep,
You're the calm on the surface, the current beneath,
You were written in starlight and woven in seams,
You are more than enough, you are more than you seem,

[Bridge]
The universe did not make you to shrink or to prove,
There's a compass in your chest that already knows how to move,
Let the mystery be holy, let the edges be frayed,
You were not made to be perfect, you were made to be brave,

[Outro]
So rest in the knowing, come home to your name,
The cosmos has carried you, carried you flame,
Vanessa, you're written where nothing is lost,
And you've always been worth every star that it cost,
