[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the calm that no one sees
A heart that holds the world and still finds ways to breathe
You lead with quiet fire, you speak before you doubt
Your mind runs deep as rivers with so much to pour out
You've carried heavy structure since before you knew its name
Built your whole foundation out of something close to pain

[PreChorus]
But every wall you raised became a place to finally stand
Every weight you bore in silence turned to gold inside your hands

[Chorus]
Oh Leslie, the light in you was written in the sky
A Leo and a Cancer moon, the ocean meets the fire
Leslie, you were made to lead and made to feel it all
The cosmos built you carefully — you rise each time you fall

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, wide, and slow to show its face
Generous before you're asked, a warmth that fills the space
You've longed for love that mirrors all the depth that you give
Sometimes wondered if the ones around you truly see you live
They see the grace, they miss the grief you carry soft and low
The part of you that nurtures while your own tides overflow

[PreChorus]
But tenderness is not a wound — it is the way you heal
And every soul you've steadied knows exactly what you feel

[Chorus]
Oh Leslie, the light in you was written in the sky
A Leo and a Cancer moon, the ocean meets the fire
Leslie, you were made to lead and made to feel it all
The cosmos built you carefully — you rise each time you fall

[Verse 3]
You've wrestled with the critic that lives quiet in your chest
The voice that counts your offerings and finds them second best
You've poured yourself through open hands and wondered what remains
Stood in rooms where you were needed, swallowed down your aches
There's a compass deep inside you, older than your name
Every step has brought you closer — nothing was in vain

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the right to rest, to take, to just be known
The world you've held for everyone was always yours to hold

[Chorus]
Oh Leslie, the light in you was written in the sky
A Leo and a Cancer moon, the ocean meets the fire
Leslie, you were made to lead and made to feel it all
The cosmos built you carefully — you rise each time you fall

[Bridge]
You are not too much — you never were too wide
The depth that overwhelms you is the very source of light
Let the tide come in, you don't have to hold it back
You were drawn so carefully — there's nothing that you lack

[Outro]
The stars don't write in accidents, they mapped you full and whole
Leslie, you are enough — exactly as you go
