[Verse 1]
She reads the room before she reads the air,
Feels the weight of what nobody dares to share,
Thinks in layers, speaks in careful gold,
There's an ocean underneath the calm she holds,
She carries quiet battles no one's named,
And loves with all the fierceness she's contained

[PreChorus]
They see the steady surface, still and true,
They never see the depths she's walking through

[Chorus]
Helen, you were written in the deep,
Every word you swallowed, yours to keep,
The fire and the tide are both your own,
You are not too much — you were never too much alone

[Verse 2]
She builds the world for others, brick by brick,
Asks for nothing back, not even this,
Her hands find meaning in the work of care,
In the ordinary hours, she's wholly there,
But somewhere past the giving and the done,
There's a hunger left unmet beneath the sun

[PreChorus]
The ones she loves don't always know the cost,
Of all the light she gives and calls it lost

[Chorus]
Helen, you were written in the deep,
Every word you swallowed, yours to keep,
The fire and the tide are both your own,
You are not too much — you were never too much alone

[Verse 3]
She's known what it is to feel unseen,
To speak her truth and watch it fall between,
The gap between her heart and what is heard,
The longing to be known beneath the words,
That wound became the compass, not the chain,
She learned to trust the voice that would remain

[PreChorus]
The world that couldn't hold her vision wide,
Was never big enough to live inside

[Chorus]
Helen, you were written in the deep,
Every word you swallowed, yours to keep,
The fire and the tide are both your own,
You are not too much — you were never too much alone

[Verse 4]
She carries ancient knowing in her bones,
A seeker who has learned to trust the unknown,
There's something in her built to last the storm,
To break apart and rise back into form,
She doesn't need to prove what she already is,
The stars made sure of that long before this

[PreChorus]
The universe carved something rare and true,
And gave it every ounce of life to you

[Chorus]
Helen, you were written in the deep,
Every word you swallowed, yours to keep,
The fire and the tide are both your own,
You are not too much — you were never too much alone

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
You are whole in all the places you call incomplete,
The ones who truly see you know it's always been,
A gift this world is lucky just to witness

[Outro]
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
Helen, you are enough in every way,
You always were, you always were
