[Verse 1]
She carries the world like it weighs nothing at all
The stillest of waters before the rainfall
She thinks in horizons, she dreams in wide skies
There's a whole universe living behind her eyes
She holds what she feels like a tide holding shore
Calm on the outside, an ocean at her core

[PreChorus]
They see the steadiness, they miss the undertow
All that depth she carries, places they won't go

[Chorus]
Elaine, you were written in a language all your own
Every scar a sentence, every scar a stepping stone
Elaine, you don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet
You are rooted, you are rising, you are whole, you are complete

[Verse 2]
She loves like she means it, no half-measures here
Headfirst into feeling, too honest for fear
But she's learned to go quiet when the walls close in
Built a fortress of patience around everything
She gives before asking, she tends before rest
She pours from a river and calls it her best

[PreChorus]
And the ones who have held her don't always know how
She needed someone to hold her back, then and now

[Chorus]
Elaine, you were written in a language all your own
Every scar a sentence, every scar a stepping stone
Elaine, you don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet
You are rooted, you are rising, you are whole, you are complete

[Verse 3]
She's been the question and she's been the flame
The one who transforms and comes back unashamed
There's a knowing in her that she learned the hard way
How to let the light in through the wounds of yesterday
She's not what the world made her, she's what she chose
A woman who bloomed through the cracks in the cold

[PreChorus]
The compass inside her was never truly lost
It was pointing back home through every storm she crossed

[Chorus]
Elaine, you were written in a language all your own
Every scar a sentence, every scar a stepping stone
Elaine, you don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet
You are rooted, you are rising, you are whole, you are complete

[Bridge]
The moon mapped your feeling, the earth held your bones
The fire gave you courage to carry what you've known
You were never too much and you were never too small
You were always, already, enough through it all

[Outro]
Rest now in the truth of everything you are
The cosmos wrote you carefully, like a deliberate star
Elaine, you were always the answer, not the search
You were always deserving of your own place on this earth
