[Verse 1]
There's a current running under everything you say
A mind that reads the room before you give yourself away
You carry what you've studied, every scar a kind of proof
That the ones who've seen the darkness build the most enduring roof
You've stood inside the fire and come back holding light
Not because the burning's over — because you learned to fight

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, still and sure
They don't see the ocean floor

[Chorus]
Darlene, you were written in a language deep and true
The cosmos took its time to carefully compose you
Every wall you've ever built was just a door you hadn't found
You are not too much — you are exactly what is needed now

[Verse 2]
You love like someone chasing something wide and without end
You need the truth more than the comfort, need the sky more than the bend
There's a hunger in your laughter, there's a longing past the fun
You give before you're asked and still you wonder if it's done
You've measured your own worth against a standard no one set
But everything you've offered hasn't gone unseen or yet

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, the steady ground
They don't hear the tide's full sound

[Chorus]
Darlene, you were written in a language deep and true
The cosmos took its time to carefully compose you
Every wall you've ever built was just a door you hadn't found
You are not too much — you are exactly what is needed now

[Verse 3]
There's a place where home and purpose pull in opposite directions
Where your ambition meets your longing and demands a resurrection
You've been learning that your value doesn't live in what you prove
That the world you want to carry needs you rooted to your roots
The wound around your worthiness has quietly become your guide
The one who heals the deepest is the one who learned inside

[PreChorus]
You were made for something ancient, something wide
A sacred offering dressed in human pride

[Chorus]
Darlene, you were written in a language deep and true
The cosmos took its time to carefully compose you
Every wall you've ever built was just a door you hadn't found
You are not too much — you are exactly what is needed now

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the light you were born into
The stars that shaped you never asked you to be new
Let the depth you carry be the gift it's always been
You are seen, Darlene, you are whole — you have always been

[Outro]
The universe mapped you carefully, with ink that never fades
You are guided, you are held, you are enough
Rest in that now
