[Verse 1]
She weighs every word before she lets it land,
Holds the scales with steady, careful hands,
But underneath the grace, beneath the poise,
There's a current running deep with untold noise,
She's felt the pull of depths no one else sees,
And she's mapped the dark like old cartographies.

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those fathoms she carries locked inside.

[Chorus]
You are ancient water, you are mountain ground,
Linda, you are everything that can't be pulled down,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
You were made for deeper things, you were built to last for days.

[Verse 2]
She loves in quiet acts, in small precise ways,
In remembering the details, in the steady gaze,
She's asked herself a thousand times if she's enough,
Offered all her tenderness and called it not enough,
But every careful kindness she has pressed like stone,
Is proof of how profoundly she has grown.

[PreChorus]
She's carried more than anyone has named,
And turned it all to wisdom, never shame.

[Chorus]
You are ancient water, you are mountain ground,
Linda, you are everything that can't be pulled down,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
You were made for deeper things, you were built to last for days.

[Verse 3]
There's a fire in her reaching past the known,
A hunger for the truth beyond what's shown,
She's stood outside the circle, felt the ache,
Searched for somewhere she could finally lay down stakes,
But the seeking was the belonging all along,
Her open heart was always where she belonged.

[PreChorus]
The uphill roads have carved her into more,
Than she could ever know she'd been before.

[Chorus]
You are ancient water, you are mountain ground,
Linda, you are everything that can't be pulled down,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
You were made for deeper things, you were built to last for days.

[Verse 4]
She's broken old inheritances free,
Rewritten what a home and love can be,
Her mind is a cathedral full of light,
That turns the hardest questions into sight,
The world she envisions, fair and whole,
Is the living map of her extraordinary soul.

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need to earn what she already is,
The sky has always known that she belongs to this.

[Chorus]
You are ancient water, you are mountain ground,
Linda, you are everything that can't be pulled down,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
You were made for deeper things, you were built to last for days.

[Bridge]
Let the scales rest, let the proving go,
You were rooted long before you had to know,
Every scar became a story told in gold,
You are not too much, you're not too late, you're not too old.

[Outro]
The stars held you before you drew a breath,
And they will hold you gently past the rest,
Linda, you are written in a hand that never wavers,
You are guided, you are held, you have always been enough.
