[Verse 1]
She carries the weight of a thousand quiet thoughts,
A mind that maps the world before the first step's caught,
Still waters on the surface, a current running low,
The things she holds the deepest are the last she'll ever show,
She built herself from fragments that the cold tried hard to keep,
And learned to read the darkness like a language she could speak

[PreChorus]
They see the steady mountain, not the storm she climbed to stand,
They take the outstretched offering, never notice the shaking hand

[Chorus]
Wendy, you are written in the marrow of the tide,
Every scar a testament to everything inside,
You don't need one more reason to prove that you belong,
The very thing that breaks you is the root of all your strength

[Verse 2]
She loves like something ancient that the modern world forgot,
Equal parts conviction and the freedom to untie the knot,
She needs the kind of closeness that still leaves enough of air,
A loyalty so fierce it burns for those who barely care,
She fights for what she loves with all the fury of the deep,
But hides behind her giving so her own wounds never speak

[PreChorus]
There's a hunger for the real thing underneath the careful face,
And a grace she gives to everyone but won't give to herself

[Chorus]
Wendy, you are written in the marrow of the tide,
Every scar a testament to everything inside,
You don't need one more reason to prove that you belong,
The very thing that breaks you is the root of all your strength

[Verse 3]
She's learning there's a difference between worthless and unknown,
That the home she's always searched for was the one she could have grown,
The questions she keeps asking are the compass, not the flaw,
There's a wisdom in the seeking that most people never saw,
The universe has threaded her from something far and wide,
She was never lost, she was becoming from the inside

[PreChorus]
Let the walls dissolve, the old proof isn't something that you owe,
What you carry in the quiet is already more than enough to show

[Chorus]
Wendy, you are written in the marrow of the tide,
Every scar a testament to everything inside,
You don't need one more reason to prove that you belong,
The very thing that breaks you is the root of all your strength

[Bridge]
The cosmos didn't make you small, it made you deep and rare,
You were built from winter patience and from cold, deliberate air,
Every tide that pulled you under only showed you how to rise,
There are constellations older than the doubt behind your eyes

[Outro]
You are not the sum of what you've survived, you're what remains,
Wendy, you were always whole, you just forgot your name
