[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the bones that the quiet can't contain,
A whole world burning inward like a steady, sacred flame,
The home is where the heart lives, where the deepest roots were sewn,
Every room a living memory, every wall a stepping stone,
You move before the moment catches up to what you've done,
A spirit born already running straight into the sun

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, still and sure,
They don't see what you're holding or how much you endure

[Chorus]
Betty Ann, you are the fire and the ground,
The one who holds the world up without making a sound,
You were written in the heavens with a careful, knowing hand,
Betty Ann, there's no one else who could have been who you am

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a tide that will not turn,
Every heart you've given shelter to, you let them watch you burn,
And still you rise to tend the people gathered at your door,
A quiet kind of courage that the world can't keep a score,
You've poured yourself in places where the cracks ran cold and deep,
A warmth that never wavered, even trading rest for peace

[PreChorus]
The longing you've been carrying has weight,
But everything you've held alone has made you something great

[Chorus]
Betty Ann, you are the fire and the ground,
The one who holds the world up without making a sound,
You were written in the heavens with a careful, knowing hand,
Betty Ann, there's no one else who could have been who you am

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves like a current through the channels no one maps,
Connecting what was broken, stitching meaning from the gaps,
You've questioned every doctrine, turned the mirror on the sky,
Not to break what once was sacred, just to ask the reason why,
And in the asking you've grown wiser than the answers ever gave,
A seeker and a keeper of the truths you wouldn't trade

[PreChorus]
The wound you carry isn't proof you fell,
It's every battle hard-won living in the way you tell

[Chorus]
Betty Ann, you are the fire and the ground,
The one who holds the world up without making a sound,
You were written in the heavens with a careful, knowing hand,
Betty Ann, there's no one else who could have been who you am

[Verse 4]
You don't need to keep performing what the world expects to see,
The strength is not in proving, it's in simply being free,
There's a compass stitched inside you pointing somewhere worth the go,
And the life you've lived already is the brightest light you know,
You were crafted out of patience and of passion and of grace,
A legacy that lingers in the warmth of every place

[PreChorus]
You are allowed to finally let it land,
You are enough, exactly as you stand

[Chorus]
Betty Ann, you are the fire and the ground,
The one who holds the world up without making a sound,
You were written in the heavens with a careful, knowing hand,
Betty Ann, there's no one else who could have been who you am

[Bridge]
The cosmos didn't place you here by chance or by design alone,
Every scar became a doorway, every wound became a home,
You are rooted, you are reaching, you are held by something true,
The whole sky made an opening the night it made you

[Outro]
So rest inside the story that the stars have always known,
You are seen, you are held, you have never been alone,
Betty Ann, the world is richer for the life that you have led,
You are exactly everything you were already meant to be instead
