[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold the room
Like deep water running quiet underneath the moon
You read between the lines that no one else can see
A mind that moves in layers, thinking endlessly
The calm they see is just the surface of the tide
There's an ocean full of knowing that you carry inside

[PreChorus]
You've spent so long being the one who holds it all
But even the deepest rivers need somewhere to fall

[Chorus]
Lynley, you were written in the dark and the deep
A soul too vast for ordinary sleep
Every scar you carry is a map to the light
Lynley, you were born for more than just getting by

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a vow made before birth
You give yourself completely — all that depth, all that worth
And when the walls come up they're not from weakness, they're from knowing
How much it costs to open up and keep your embers glowing
You've healed the ones around you while you quietly bled
There's a tenderness inside you that deserves to be fed

[PreChorus]
The world has asked so much and you have given without measure
But you were never meant to carry everyone's forever

[Chorus]
Lynley, you were written in the dark and the deep
A soul too vast for ordinary sleep
Every scar you carry is a map to the light
Lynley, you were born for more than just getting by

[Verse 3]
There's a fire in your ambition like a torch held up high
You want your life to matter and it does — don't ask why
You've wrestled between freedom and the structures you were given
Between who you were told to be and the life you feel you're living
That tension isn't broken — it's the engine underneath
The roots go down this deep so you can bloom above the leaves

[PreChorus]
You've questioned if your worth was something you had to earn
But it was always yours to keep — the lesson, not the burn

[Chorus]
Lynley, you were written in the dark and the deep
A soul too vast for ordinary sleep
Every scar you carry is a map to the light
Lynley, you were born for more than just getting by

[Verse 4]
You feel the world before it speaks — a gift you learned to guard
You've absorbed so many stories, worn so many hearts
The searching never stops in you, the wondering runs wide
Philosophy and feeling walking side by side
You don't need to fix it all or be the one who saves
Your presence is the healing — not the answers that you gave

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades
You are not a rough draft — you are every word it meant to say

[Chorus]
Lynley, you were written in the dark and the deep
A soul too vast for ordinary sleep
Every scar you carry is a map to the light
Lynley, you were born for more than just getting by

[Bridge]
Let the tide come in, you don't have to fight the shore
You were made from something ancient — there is nothing to prove anymore
The moon has always known you, even in your darkest place
You are held inside a story that no wound could ever erase

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you are whole
The stars have always recognized your soul
You are enough — exactly as you are
Lynley, you were always meant to go this far
