[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you move before the world decides,
A mind that catches lightning, reads the current underneath the tides,
You feel everything so deeply that you guard the door with care,
Not because you're closed off — because you know what lives in there,
The calm they see is just the shore, the ocean has no end,
You've carried more than anyone has ever thought to tend,

[PreChorus]
But every depth you've swum alone has shaped you into stone and sea,
A force the world could never hold, and never fully see,

[Chorus]
Tannis, you were written in the oldest kind of fire,
Born to lead, to feel, to burn a little higher,
Not too much, not too little — you are perfectly placed,
You are known, you are held, you are not to be erased,

[Verse 2]
You love like something patient, like a root beneath the frost,
You give your whole heart slowly, knowing what it costs,
There's a push and pull inside you — what you need and what you show,
A tenderness you shelter from the undertow,
You've stood beside the people who could not stand on their own,
And quietly forgot to build yourself a home,

[PreChorus]
But the walls you built to survive were never meant to be your ground,
And the love you kept for everyone — you deserve to have it found,

[Chorus]
Tannis, you were written in the oldest kind of fire,
Born to lead, to feel, to burn a little higher,
Not too much, not too little — you are perfectly placed,
You are known, you are held, you are not to be erased,

[Verse 3]
There's a compass turning somewhere past the edge of what is known,
A longing that has walked with you through every road you've gone,
You've questioned what is sacred, built your truth from scratch,
And found that real belief is something nobody can hand you back,
Your words have weight, your presence lands, your purpose runs so deep,
The world you're quietly building is a world worth going to keep,

[PreChorus]
The life you've lived as proof and flame is carving something rare,
And everything you thought was lost — it made you who you are,

[Chorus]
Tannis, you were written in the oldest kind of fire,
Born to lead, to feel, to burn a little higher,
Not too much, not too little — you are perfectly placed,
You are known, you are held, you are not to be erased,

[Bridge]
You don't have to be relentless to be real,
You don't have to fix the world to know your worth,
The cosmos didn't scatter you — it placed you here with care,
The most important thing you are is here,

[Outro]
The stars don't make mistakes the way they mapped you to this earth,
Every scar, every tide, every fire — proof of worth,
Tannis, rest now, you are seen, you are enough,
You always were,
