[Verse 1]
She carries the tide inside her chest, quiet and wide,
A mind that never sleeps, always reaching, always alive,
She'll hold the room together while she holds herself apart,
Translating the whole world through the chambers of her heart,
They see the steady ground, they don't see what runs below,
The ocean she was born with and the fire she doesn't show

[PreChorus]
She's built from ancient longing and a courage few could name,
Every wound she walked through left her wiser, not the same

[Chorus]
Donna, you were written in the deep and in the tide,
All the things you've carried were the compass, not the weight inside,
You are rooted like the earth and wild like the searching flame,
The stars spent a lifetime learning how to say your name

[Verse 2]
She loves like a conversation, like a window left ajar,
Faithful to the ones who know her freedom is her heart,
She'll give before you ask her and she'll ask for nothing back,
Then wonder in the quiet why she always feels the lack,
But the way she sees the broken and still reaches for the whole,
That isn't just a habit — that's the mercy of a soul

[PreChorus]
She's torn between the fortress and the open, wanting both,
Learning that surrender isn't failure, it is growth

[Chorus]
Donna, you were written in the deep and in the tide,
All the things you've carried were the compass, not the weight inside,
You are rooted like the earth and wild like the searching flame,
The stars spent a lifetime learning how to say your name

[Verse 3]
She needs a purpose bigger than the ordinary days,
A horizon she can move toward, a truth she can't betray,
And when she doubts the meaning, when the mission feels too far,
She forgets she is the meaning — she was always what she sought,
The circles she's been building, small and chosen, slow and sure,
Every loyal thread she's woven is a testament of worth

[PreChorus]
She is not too much, not too soft, not too strange to be received,
She was made with rare precision — let that finally be believed

[Chorus]
Donna, you were written in the deep and in the tide,
All the things you've carried were the compass, not the weight inside,
You are rooted like the earth and wild like the searching flame,
The stars spent a lifetime learning how to say your name

[Bridge]
She doesn't need to earn the light, she is the light that stays,
The cosmos didn't make her to diminish or to fade,
What she calls her imperfection is the texture of her grace,
She was always enough — she just needed the space

[Outro]
Donna, rest now in the knowing you were never lost at sea,
You were always being guided, you were always meant to be
