[Verse 1]
She carries the weight of a mountain at rest,
A quiet ambition that lives in her chest,
She'll fix what is broken before you can ask,
Her care is the gift that she hides like a mask,
The world sees the stillness, the capable calm,
But deep in the current, she's holding them warm

[PreChorus]
She needs what she gives but forgets to receive,
There's a whole ocean inside her that nobody sees

[Chorus]
Shannon, you were written in the winter sky,
Built from patience and purpose and a leonine fire,
You don't have to earn what was yours from the start,
The cosmos mapped you carefully, right down to your heart

[Verse 2]
She loves like a prayer she won't say out loud,
A dreamer who wraps all her hope in a vow,
She sees what is golden in everyone else,
The last one she offers that grace to is herself,
She's built something lasting from discipline's stone,
But worthy was never a thing she was shown

[PreChorus]
The ache underneath all the order and pride,
Is just love that is waiting to live on the inside

[Chorus]
Shannon, you were written in the winter sky,
Built from patience and purpose and a leonine fire,
You don't have to earn what was yours from the start,
The cosmos mapped you carefully, right down to your heart

[Verse 3]
Her mind digs for truth like it cannot stop turning,
A hunger for meaning beneath all the learning,
She's held what was heavy so long and so well,
She forgot there's a story worth letting them tell,
The wounds that she carries have sharpened her sight,
She alchemized every dark hour into light

[PreChorus]
She is already standing on ground she has earned,
The fire was always in her, it just had to burn

[Chorus]
Shannon, you were written in the winter sky,
Built from patience and purpose and a leonine fire,
You don't have to earn what was yours from the start,
The cosmos mapped you carefully, right down to your heart

[Bridge]
Let the mountain be still, let the current run free,
You were never the sum of your productivity,
Every root that you grew in the cold and the dark,
Was always enough, you were always enough from the start

[Outro]
The stars don't keep score, and the night doesn't lie,
Shannon, you were made to be more than just fine,
Rest in the knowing — you are held, you are whole
