[Verse 1]
She keeps the surface still as stone and water,
Tends to everyone like they were hers to father,
A mind that fires before the world has caught the spark,
A slow-burning patience anchoring the dark,
She holds her own reserves like something precious kept,
While oceans move beneath the calm she's always held.

[PreChorus]
They see the steady ground, they don't see what it cost,
How much she gave away before she knew she'd lost.

[Chorus]
Lynne, you are the roots beneath the ancient tree,
Deeper than the life that anyone can see,
You were written carefully in permanent light,
The cosmos knew exactly what it made that night.

[Verse 2]
She loves like something daring and relentless,
Headfirst into feeling, brave and boundless,
Then pulls back to the quiet of her own shore,
Craving depth and beauty, craving something more,
She's wrestled with the question of her own enough,
Worked in silence, wondering if the work was love.

[PreChorus]
But every scar she carried turned to something wise,
And every hidden tide in her became the rise.

[Chorus]
Lynne, you are the roots beneath the ancient tree,
Deeper than the life that anyone can see,
You were written carefully in permanent light,
The cosmos knew exactly what it made that night.

[Verse 3]
She sees the underneath of things, the unseen thread,
The ache inside a room, the words that go unsaid,
She's walked between the structure and the open door,
Between the life she built and what she's always searching for,
The world she's meant to touch is wider than she's known,
She carries gifts for people she has not yet shown.

[PreChorus]
The path that felt uncertain was the one that's hers,
Each question that she lived through is the light that stirs.

[Chorus]
Lynne, you are the roots beneath the ancient tree,
Deeper than the life that anyone can see,
You were written carefully in permanent light,
The cosmos knew exactly what it made that night.

[Bridge]
Let the proving go, let the quiet be enough,
What you've always been is far beyond your doubt,
You are held inside a current old as time,
Every part of you was chosen, every part is fine.

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you are whole,
The stars were never random — neither were you, soul.
