[Verse 1]
There's a mind behind those eyes that never stops its turning,
Cataloguing every crack, every detail worth discerning,
You hold the world to standards no one else could even meet,
Then hold yourself to higher ones and call the work incomplete,
But that precision is a lantern, not a cage around your throat,
Every careful thought you carry is a line the lost can quote

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, calm and sure,
They don't see the ocean churning at your core

[Chorus]
Sondra, you were written in the deep,
In the space between the waking and the sleep,
Every contradiction sewn into your seams,
You are more than anyone has seen

[Verse 2]
You walk into a room and something shifts without a word,
There's a gravity about you, quiet thunder, rarely heard,
You've learned to wear a mystery like a second kind of skin,
While somewhere underneath it all a wildfire lives within,
You love like it's a covenant, like something sworn and old,
But you've ached to be adored the way you give without being told

[PreChorus]
You've weighed what others need against your own,
And left yourself the smallest share to hold

[Chorus]
Sondra, you were written in the deep,
In the space between the waking and the sleep,
Every contradiction sewn into your seams,
You are more than anyone has seen

[Verse 3]
There's a wound around the question of whether you belong,
Whether what you've built is worthy, whether quiet counts as strong,
You've worked so hard for tables where they never saved your chair,
And called your own exhaustion just the price of being there,
But every scar you carry is a record, not a debt,
And the version of yourself you fought to find — don't you forget

[PreChorus]
The world you're reaching toward already knows your name,
You don't have to break yourself to stake your claim

[Chorus]
Sondra, you were written in the deep,
In the space between the waking and the sleep,
Every contradiction sewn into your seams,
You are more than anyone has seen

[Verse 4]
You're pulled toward the horizon, toward a truth you haven't named,
Something wider than the life you've lived, a knowing you can't tame,
You were never meant to orbit someone else's light and shine,
There's a compass turning inward tracing out your own design,
The restless and the reverent have always lived in you,
And the path that's worth the walking is the one only you can choose

[PreChorus]
The cosmos didn't write you to be small,
It wrote you whole — enough — to hold it all

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to rest,
You don't have to wound yourself to give your best,
The grace you pour on everyone else's ground,
Is the grace in you that's waiting to be found

[Outro]
Sondra, let the stars confirm what you've always known,
You were never lost — you were making your way home,
Every piece of you the light and all the in-between,
You are whole, you are held, you are finally seen
