[Verse 1]
She notices what everyone else walks past,
The crooked frame, the word that didn't last,
A mind that turns the world to something true,
She finds the meaning hiding in the view,
They see the steady surface, calm and clear,
They don't see all the tides she holds in here,

[PreChorus]
She's been the ground beneath so many feet,
Still learning that she, too, deserves a seat,

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Lori carefully and long,
Built from quiet fire and mountain strong,
Every careful hand, every depth she's known,
She was always worthy of her own,

[Verse 2]
She loves the way a river loves the stone,
Worn down by touch, yet shaped into her own,
All or nothing when she lets you in,
She guards the door but burns bright within,
She gives before you've asked, she stays when others leave,
She loves with everything — that's not a wound, it's a relief,

[PreChorus]
She's carried weight that wasn't hers to hold,
But even stone becomes something beautiful and bold,

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Lori carefully and long,
Built from quiet fire and mountain strong,
Every careful hand, every depth she's known,
She was always worthy of her own,

[Verse 3]
There's a pilgrim in her, hungry for the true,
Beyond the obvious and the surface view,
She's been misread by those who couldn't stay,
Couldn't hold the depth she carries every day,
The wound she tends in silence has a name —
She was never missing, never once to blame,

[PreChorus]
The universe placed arrows in her chest,
They all point home, and home is her at rest,

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Lori carefully and long,
Built from quiet fire and mountain strong,
Every careful hand, every depth she's known,
She was always worthy of her own,

[Bridge]
Let the searching be enough, let the knowing be the gift,
Every rise from the unraveling, every quiet inner shift,
She is the mountain and the ember and the tide,
The compass has been pointing to her all this time inside,

[Outro]
The cosmos carved her slowly, shaped her true,
There was never anyone quite made like you,
Lori, you were written in enduring light,
Everything you are has always been exactly right,
