[Verse 1]
There's a fire behind the grace, a tide beneath the calm,
A mind that holds the chaos while the hands extend a balm,
You lead without a crown, you love without a script,
You carry everyone's unraveling while keeping your own grip,
The world sees the stillness but it doesn't see the weight,
All the ways you've held the door for others, never late

[PreChorus]
You've measured every inch of yourself and found it not quite right,
But the measuring was never yours to do

[Chorus]
Oh Bess, you were written in the light,
A quiet force that moves like rivers, vast and right,
Every wound you carried made you whole, not less,
Oh Bess, the cosmos never made a rough draft, only Bess

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, full and wide and true,
Grand in what you give but terrified of what comes through,
You've stood at the door of closeness with your hand against the frame,
Not sure if letting someone all the way inside would end the same,
But the depth that lives inside you is the gift they don't deserve to miss,
And the love you've been withholding from yourself is where the healing is

[PreChorus]
You've been walking toward a meaning that was in you all along,
And every twist of road just made the signal strong

[Chorus]
Oh Bess, you were written in the light,
A quiet force that moves like rivers, vast and right,
Every wound you carried made you whole, not less,
Oh Bess, the cosmos never made a rough draft, only Bess

[Bridge]
You're the ember and the order, the dreamer and the ground,
The one who finds the sacred in the ordinary sound,
You don't have to earn the morning or explain the way you shine,
You were placed here with intention, every thread by design

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you were always meant to be,
The stars don't make mistakes and neither does the sky that holds you free,
Oh Bess, you are enough, you always were, you'll always be
