[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you hold your ground,
A quiet kind of royalty that doesn't need a crown,
You walk into a room and something shifts and settles there,
But underneath that steady grace, a tide beyond compare,
You carry depths that daylight never fully gets to see,
An ocean underneath the calm, a controlled mystery

[PreChorus]
They see the warmth, they miss the weight you're bearing,
They see the strength, they don't see what it's costing

[Chorus]
Annette, you are written in the oldest light,
A lion and a current in the same midnight,
Every scar you carry is a map, not a mistake,
You are more than what you've given, more than what you make

[Verse 2]
You love in careful gestures, in the details no one names,
You remember every kindness and you remember every flame,
You've stood inside the rubble of the things that fell apart,
And built something more honest from the wreckage in your heart,
You've learned that trust is something earned in layers, slow and sure,
And what you choose to offer now is richer for that cure

[PreChorus]
They see the giving, miss how long you've waited,
They see the smile, not the storms you've navigated

[Chorus]
Annette, you are written in the oldest light,
A lion and a current in the same midnight,
Every scar you carry is a map, not a mistake,
You are more than what you've given, more than what you make

[Verse 3]
You've chased the truth in places where the answers weren't clean,
Built a philosophy from everything between,
Your voice was made to carry something weightier than sound,
A mind that breaks convention just to find more solid ground,
You don't need permission for the person that you are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, like a necessary star

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn your place — you are the place,
You don't need to prove your worth — it's in your face

[Chorus]
Annette, you are written in the oldest light,
A lion and a current in the same midnight,
Every scar you carry is a map, not a mistake,
You are more than what you've given, more than what you make

[Bridge]
The things that made you heavy made you deep,
The love you couldn't keep taught you what to keep,
You are not behind, you are not too much,
You are exactly this — and that is enough

[Outro]
Let the Scorpio moon hold what the daylight can't,
Let the Leo in you rise and say, I can,
You were never lost — just learning how to land,
Annette, you were always, always planned
