[Verse 1]
She weighs every word before it leaves her lips,
Reads the room like water reads the eclipse,
Holds the scales inside her chest, always measuring the weight,
Of what's fair and what's feeling and what's too late,
They see the calm, they don't see the undertow,
The ocean running deep where the still waters go

[PreChorus]
She's been building something solid in the silence,
A cathedral made of patience and resilience

[Chorus]
Michelle, you were written in a language old and true,
The cosmos drew the outline but the living part is you,
Every crack you've carried is a doorway, not a scar,
You are held by something ancient, you are guided by the stars

[Verse 2]
She thinks in layers where most people think in lines,
Sees what hides behind the words, reads between the signs,
Loves the way the deep sea loves—total, still, and vast,
All or nothing, soul to soul, built to somehow last,
She's given more than she has named, poured out without a receipt,
And called it ordinary, when it's anything but that

[PreChorus]
She's been learning that her worth isn't earned by carrying more,
That rest is not surrender, it's knowing what she's for

[Chorus]
Michelle, you were written in a language old and true,
The cosmos drew the outline but the living part is you,
Every crack you've carried is a doorway, not a scar,
You are held by something ancient, you are guided by the stars

[Verse 3]
She's reached for something higher every time the ground gave way,
Turned the weight of expectation into the will to stay,
Her community is something she can feel down in her bones,
She's the heartbeat in the room that keeps the others from alone,
She's wondered if her presence matters, if the effort counted for anything real,
It counted every single time—that's the truth she's learning to feel

[PreChorus]
She doesn't have to be unbreakable to be strong,
She's been exactly right in all the places she felt wrong

[Chorus]
Michelle, you were written in a language old and true,
The cosmos drew the outline but the living part is you,
Every crack you've carried is a doorway, not a scar,
You are held by something ancient, you are guided by the stars

[Bridge]
The tide comes in, the tide goes out, and she remains,
A quiet kind of power that outlasts what hurts and strains,
She doesn't need to prove the light that lives inside her chest,
The universe already knows—she has always been enough

[Outro]
Let the scales rest easy, let the deep water breathe,
Everything she's needed she already carries within,
Michelle, the stars don't write mistakes—they wrote you perfectly
