[Verse 1]
There's a mountain in the way you hold your ground,
Patient as the earth but full of underground sound,
You carry what would break most people twice,
And make it look like discipline, not sacrifice,
They see the steady hands, the calm, composed veneer,
They don't see all the oceans you've been holding here

[PreChorus]
But the deepest water doesn't make a sound,
And the strongest roots are the ones they never found

[Chorus]
Michelle, you were written in the winter sky,
Built from ancient stone but you were born to fly,
Every wall you've raised is also what survived,
You are more than enough, you've always been alive

[Verse 2]
There's a tide beneath the surface of your smile,
Something dark and true that you've been tending for a while,
You feel everything at a frequency few share,
Like the whole world whispers secrets in the air,
And what looks like distance is a boundary hard-won,
A heart that only opens when it trusts the sun

[PreChorus]
You love like something ancient, slow, and true,
Like a vow made long before they ever knew you

[Chorus]
Michelle, you were written in the winter sky,
Built from ancient stone but you were born to fly,
Every wall you've raised is also what survived,
You are more than enough, you've always been alive

[Verse 3]
You've always known your worth but sometimes lost the thread,
Chased the sound of other voices in your head,
There's a vision in you wider than the roads you've walked,
A language made of light in everything you've talked,
The world you're reaching toward is not a distant place,
It's already alive behind your face

[PreChorus]
You were not made to shrink for someone else's room,
You were made the way the sky was made for the moon

[Chorus]
Michelle, you were written in the winter sky,
Built from ancient stone but you were born to fly,
Every wall you've raised is also what survived,
You are more than enough, you've always been alive

[Bridge]
Let the proving go, let the armor rest tonight,
What you are without the effort is already right,
The cosmos didn't stumble when it made you this way,
You were the whole intention, not the price you had to pay

[Outro]
So rest in what you are beneath the weight you've known,
Michelle, every scar you carry, you were never alone,
The stars that shaped you haven't finished yet,
You are someone no one's learned how to forget
