[Verse 1]
She carries the horizon like a second skin,
A mind full of questions, always chasing what's been
She speaks the hard truth when the room goes still,
Not out of cruelty — out of love for what's real
Steady on the outside, a tide underneath,
More wildfire and ocean than anyone sees

[PreChorus]
She's built something lasting from every hard year,
And the world doesn't always know what it has here

[Chorus]
Michele, you were written in the long way around,
Every story you carry is hallowed ground
The cosmos carved you careful, every line and seam,
You are more than enough, more than you've dared to dream

[Verse 2]
She loves like she means it, down past the bone,
Not the kind of devotion you can borrow or loan
She waits, she watches, she knows when to move,
A loyalty that runs like a river through stone
But she's asked herself quietly — too many nights —
If she deserved all the things she was fighting to find

[PreChorus]
She's earned every inch of the ground where she stands,
The answer was always already in her hands

[Chorus]
Michele, you were written in the long way around,
Every story you carry is hallowed ground
The cosmos carved you careful, every line and seam,
You are more than enough, more than you've dared to dream

[Verse 3]
She's the kind of woman who holds the whole room,
Then goes home to the quiet and wrestles alone
The wound in her worth was not hers to keep,
It was left there by people who couldn't go deep
But she rose from the ruin and chose to remain,
And nothing that broke her was ever in vain

[PreChorus]
The path she was given was never a mistake,
Every scar was a doorway she learned how to take

[Chorus]
Michele, you were written in the long way around,
Every story you carry is hallowed ground
The cosmos carved you careful, every line and seam,
You are more than enough, more than you've dared to dream

[Bridge]
She doesn't need to prove it, doesn't need to explain,
The light she keeps giving still knows her own name
There's a compass inside her that never goes dark,
The universe hasn't forgotten the fire in her heart

[Outro]
She was always the answer she searched for alone,
Every road that she wandered was leading her home
