[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold the room
Like a scale that finds its balance by the moon
You weigh every word before you let it land
And the world calls it caution — it's a gift they don't understand
Beneath the poise, a tide that never stops
You carry generations in your bones, layer by layer on top

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they never see the storm
The quiet fire that keeps you going, keeps you warm

[Chorus]
Dana, you are rooted like the ancient earth
Deeper than the story of your birth
Every scar you've carried, every bridge you've crossed
Nothing that you've loved has ever truly been lost

[Verse 2]
You love like someone swore an oath to truth
Like a flame that burns most honest in the roots
Not the kind of love that settles for the surface of things
You need the marrow, the meaning, the full weight it brings
And sometimes that intensity has felt like too much to hold
But what they call too heavy is a heart made of gold

[PreChorus]
You've stood outside your own light for too long
You built the whole cathedral — now step inside and sing the song

[Chorus]
Dana, you are rooted like the ancient earth
Deeper than the story of your birth
Every scar you've carried, every bridge you've crossed
Nothing that you've loved has ever truly been lost

[Verse 3]
There was a voice inside you once that went unheard
You rewrote yourself in silence, searching for the right words
And somewhere in that searching you stopped reaching for the stage
Afraid the world would judge the art before it turned the page
But the things you make, the beauty you refine —
That's not wasted longing, that's a language that was always divine

[PreChorus]
The world doesn't need a version of you that's less
It needs the full and unedited, the depth and the tenderness

[Chorus]
Dana, you are rooted like the ancient earth
Deeper than the story of your birth
Every scar you've carried, every bridge you've crossed
Nothing that you've loved has ever truly been lost

[Verse 4]
You work in the dark where recognition doesn't reach
You give before you're asked and hold more than you teach
The slow climb upward, each stone laid with care
Is building something permanent, something rare
You think the long road means the prize is far away
But the stars have always known exactly where you're going to land today

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the space that you deserve
The cosmos wrote your name before you learned to feel the words

[Chorus]
Dana, you are rooted like the ancient earth
Deeper than the story of your birth
Every scar you've carried, every bridge you've crossed
Nothing that you've loved has ever truly been lost

[Bridge]
You are the balance and the depth and the unseen tide
The mountain and the wanderer and the truth they can't hide
Let the universe hold what you've carried alone
You were always, always worthy — you were always, always home

[Outro]
The sky that held your first breath holds you still
And every step you've taken has been guided by a will
Dana, rest in all you are — the light knows your name
You are enough, you always were, you'll always be the same
