[Verse 1]
She holds the scales but feels the weight of every side,
A mind that weighs the world before she steps outside,
They see the grace, the poise, the calm, the steady hand,
They don't see all the tides beneath that quiet land,
She's searching for the truth in every open door,
A soul that always knows there's something worth exploring more,

[PreChorus]
She's built from mountain stone and midnight fire,
A compass pointing upward, always reaching higher,

[Chorus]
Sondra, you were written in the long way 'round,
Every fall you've taken turned to sacred ground,
You carry ancient knowing in the way you move,
Sondra, you are more than you feel you have to prove,

[Verse 2]
She loves the way the ocean loves the deepest floor,
Not satisfied with shallow, she was made for more,
Once she gives her heart it's not a borrowed thing,
It's the roots beneath the winter and the flight of spring,
She's felt misunderstood mid-sentence, mid-breath,
Like her words dissolve before they reach the rest,

[PreChorus]
But every word she's swallowed made her deeper still,
And every unheard voice became an iron will,

[Chorus]
Sondra, you were written in the long way 'round,
Every fall you've taken turned to sacred ground,
You carry ancient knowing in the way you move,
Sondra, you are more than you feel you have to prove,

[Verse 3]
She pours herself in quietly to causes and to kin,
Gives the warmth she's sometimes frightened to let in,
Her loyalty is not a habit, it's a vow,
A devotion that the storms have never broken down,
She's been reborn before without a name for what it was,
Just stepped into the ash and rose because she does,

[PreChorus]
The cold she wears like armor hides a burning core,
She's not reserved — she's waiting to be sure,

[Chorus]
Sondra, you were written in the long way 'round,
Every fall you've taken turned to sacred ground,
You carry ancient knowing in the way you move,
Sondra, you are more than you feel you have to prove,

[Verse 4]
There is a vision in her that the world still needs to see,
A dreamer who believes the way the sky believes the sea,
She's carried responsibility like it was breath,
But she was not born only to endure — she's here to rest,
To let herself be held by something wider than her will,
To trust the quiet underneath when everything goes still,

[PreChorus]
The stars did not arrange themselves by accident that night,
She was placed here with intention, she was made with light,

[Chorus]
Sondra, you were written in the long way 'round,
Every fall you've taken turned to sacred ground,
You carry ancient knowing in the way you move,
Sondra, you are more than you feel you have to prove,

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to take up space,
You don't have to solve yourself to find your place,
The universe wrote you slowly, word by word,
And every part of you deserves to be heard,

[Outro]
She moves like something the cosmos kept,
A quiet fire that never slept,
She is the balance and the depth and the becoming,
She always was enough — and she is only just beginning,
