[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you face the morning light,
A mind that reads the room before the words feel right,
You carry what you know like an arrow in the bow,
Truth your only compass, everywhere you go,
They see the boldness, but they miss the quiet tide,
The whole cathedral burning soft inside,

[PreChorus]
You've held yourself together through the weight of your own knowing,
And every doubt you've wrestled down has kept the embers glowing,

[Chorus]
Shannon, you were written by a steady, ancient hand,
A soul that builds cathedrals on the shifting sand,
You don't need to earn the room, you were born to fill the space,
Shannon, the cosmos drew you carefully with grace,

[Verse 2]
You love like something patient, like a stone that holds the heat,
You give before you're asked and guard the ones you keep,
There's a longing underneath the armor, real and wide,
A heart that wants to rest inside a love that won't divide,
You've mistaken your intensity for something too much to bear,
But that depth was always treasure, not a burden you should wear,

[PreChorus]
The questions that have driven you were never signs of doubt,
They were roots reaching deeper, finding what the world's about,

[Chorus]
Shannon, you were written by a steady, ancient hand,
A soul that builds cathedrals on the shifting sand,
You don't need to earn the room, you were born to fill the space,
Shannon, the cosmos drew you carefully with grace,

[Bridge]
Every scar became a lantern, every wound a open door,
You've descended into darkness and returned with something more,
The world is wide enough to hold the fire that you are,
You were never lost, you were becoming what you are,

[Outro]
You are held in something older than the fear you've ever known,
Shannon, every road you've traveled was the long way home,
