[Verse 1]
There's a fire at the center of everything you do,
Moving before the world has time to catch up to you,
But underneath the charge, there's a tide that pulls you home,
A softness that you shelter so you never feel alone,
You carry other people like it costs you nothing at all,
And quietly rebuild yourself each time you feel the fall

[PreChorus]
They see the boldness, they don't see the ache,
All those depths you're holding for everyone else's sake

[Chorus]
Ashley, you were written in a language all your own,
Every scar a sentence, every wound a stepping stone,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
Ashley, you were always meant to be exactly this — enough, and full of grace

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, patient, rooted to the ground,
The kind of love that stays when nothing solid can be found,
You dream in metaphors and feel before the words arrive,
There's a poet in your silence that keeps something pure alive,
You've asked the sky for meaning on the nights it didn't speak,
But the answers were already in the questions that you seek

[PreChorus]
The cosmos didn't rush when it was making you whole,
It took its time with every contradiction in your soul

[Chorus]
Ashley, you were written in a language all your own,
Every scar a sentence, every wound a stepping stone,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
Ashley, you were always meant to be exactly this — enough, and full of grace

[Bridge]
Let the tide come in, you don't have to hold the shore,
You were built for depth, not just the life lived at the door,
The world needs what you carry, so don't set it quietly down,
You are guided, you are held, you are already found

[Outro]
The stars took care with every line they wrote in you,
Ashley, all of who you are is more than enough — it's true
