[Verse 1]
There's a mind that maps the world before the morning breaks,
A careful hand that smooths the edges for everyone's sake,
They see the order, never see the ocean underneath,
All that feeling you hold back, all that depth beneath the sheath,
You were built for more than fixing what the others leave behind,
There's a fire in that precision, there's a wildness in that mind,

[PreChorus]
You've carried what was broken like it made you less than whole,
But every crack you mended left its wisdom in your soul,

[Chorus]
Laurel, you are written in the water and the light,
A full moon held in tension between the day and night,
You don't have to earn the space that you were born to fill,
Laurel, you are more than enough, and you always will,

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a hearth that stays alight,
Like hands that smooth the sheets and leave the lamp on through the night,
You long for something boundless but you guard the door you keep,
Afraid that if you open it the current runs too deep,
There's a tenderness you offer that you'd never ask returned,
A devotion that you give before the trust has been earned,

[PreChorus]
The heart that loves so quietly deserves to be loved loud,
The one who holds the room together needn't disappear in the crowd,

[Chorus]
Laurel, you are written in the water and the light,
A full moon held in tension between the day and night,
You don't have to earn the space that you were born to fill,
Laurel, you are more than enough, and you always will,

[Verse 3]
There's a calling at the surface and a current running deep,
A path that asked you to be seen when hiding felt like sleep,
You've walked the unconventional, you've bent the given mold,
You've held your own authority without being told,
The world has felt your presence even when you held your tongue,
The work you carry matters and it always has belonged,

[PreChorus]
The compass inside you has never stopped pointing true,
Every storm you've crossed has only opened more of you,

[Chorus]
Laurel, you are written in the water and the light,
A full moon held in tension between the day and night,
You don't have to earn the space that you were born to fill,
Laurel, you are more than enough, and you always will,

[Bridge]
The universe was careful when it shaped you into form,
You were made for deep water, you were made to outlast the storm,
Every wound became a wisdom, every silence held a song,
You were never lost, beloved — you were always home, you belong,

[Outro]
So rest in what you are, not what you've proven you can give,
The stars have always known the life you came here to live,
Laurel, you are written — you are whole, you are enough,
