[Verse 1]
She carries mountains in her quiet hands,
Builds everything on solid, patient ground,
A serious soul who laughs when no one understands,
The deepest waters make the least amount of sound,
She works behind the scenes, she holds the weight,
And still she shows up early, never late

[PreChorus]
She's searching for the meaning in the wide, wide sky,
A dreamer made of bedrock, asking always why

[Chorus]
Written in the winter light, steady and true,
The whole sky had a purpose the night it made you,
Merry, you are ancient and you are new,
There's a kind of quiet power running all the way through

[Verse 2]
She's got a mind that moves like a canyon fire,
Chasing every big idea past the edge of sight,
A storyteller fueled by something higher,
Who cuts right through the comfortable with one bright light,
She thinks in horizons, speaks in open doors,
Her boldest thought always finds something more

[PreChorus]
She's carried heavy silence in a world too loud,
But every stone she's lifted was a stepping cloud

[Chorus]
Written in the winter light, steady and true,
The whole sky had a purpose the night it made you,
Merry, you are ancient and you are new,
There's a kind of quiet power running all the way through

[Verse 3]
She loves like something tidal, deep, and sworn,
Not satisfied with surface, not content with safe,
She gives before she's asked, forgives before she's worn,
And holds the ones she loves inside a sacred space,
She's learned that freedom and devotion share a thread,
And wears her loyalty like armor, not like dread

[PreChorus]
She's felt the ache of rooms where she didn't quite belong,
But the wound that asked the question is the seed of all her song

[Chorus]
Written in the winter light, steady and true,
The whole sky had a purpose the night it made you,
Merry, you are ancient and you are new,
There's a kind of quiet power running all the way through

[Verse 4]
She's touched the dark and come back holding light,
Been through the kind of changes only she knows how,
The version of her no one sees still burns so bright,
She doesn't need permission to be worthy now,
She is the roots beneath the storm, the calm inside the rain,
A woman who turns every loss into a gain

[PreChorus]
She doesn't have to prove what she was always meant to be,
She already holds the answer that the world is waiting to see

[Chorus]
Written in the winter light, steady and true,
The whole sky had a purpose the night it made you,
Merry, you are ancient and you are new,
There's a kind of quiet power running all the way through

[Bridge]
Every scar became a compass, every doubt became a door,
The stars wrote her so carefully, they knew what she was for,
She is held by something older than the names she's ever known,
Even in the silence, she has never been alone

[Outro]
Written in the winter light, she always knew,
The whole sky had a purpose, and it's carried her through,
Merry, you are enough — exactly as you are,
The universe was careful when it chose to make this star
