[Verse 1]
There's a fire that walks before the words arrive,
A lion who learned to live beneath the tide,
The room feels your presence before you speak a sound,
But the brightest light you carry stays underground,
You serve, you build, you hold the world with steady hands,
While no one stops to ask what Heather needs or understands

[PreChorus]
You've made yourself so useful that you forgot the rest,
That the one who keeps on giving still deserves the best

[Chorus]
Heather, you are more than what you prove,
More than every sacrifice, more than every move,
Heather, let the iron soften into gold,
You were written by the cosmos — you don't have to earn your soul

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like current underneath a frozen lake,
Quick and deep and dangerous, alive with what you make,
You love through conversation, through the well-timed word,
Loyal to the ones who leave your restless spirit heard,
But you've kept the rawer feelings locked behind a gate,
Mistaking your own hunger for a thing that has to wait

[PreChorus]
The ache you carry quietly is not a sign of lack,
It's the weight of someone's whole world carried on their back

[Chorus]
Heather, you are more than what you prove,
More than every sacrifice, more than every move,
Heather, let the iron soften into gold,
You were written by the cosmos — you don't have to earn your soul

[Verse 3]
There's a wound around the question of your right to take up space,
So you poured it into purpose, into effort, into grace,
You've rebuilt yourself in silence more than anyone has seen,
Every loss became the riverbed, the deep between the seams,
The philosopher who questions what belief is even for,
Always standing at the threshold, always knocking at the door

[PreChorus]
But every question you have carried made you someone rare,
A compass forged in longing is the only kind that's true and fair

[Chorus]
Heather, you are more than what you prove,
More than every sacrifice, more than every move,
Heather, let the iron soften into gold,
You were written by the cosmos — you don't have to earn your soul

[Bridge]
The stars don't ask the sky to justify its length,
And everything you've broken through became your deepest strength,
You were never too much — you were always right on time,
Born with ancient thunder running through a quiet mind

[Outro]
Heather, lay the proving down tonight,
You were always whole, you were always light,
The universe spelled out your name with care,
And everything you are — it's already there
