[Verse 1]
There's a fire in you that doesn't wait for permission,
A quiet, steady force on some unspoken mission,
You show the world the grace, the poise, the open hand,
But underneath there's iron — and they don't understand,
You've carried more than most would ever dare to hold,
A depth they've only glimpsed and never fully known.

[PreChorus]
They see the surface and they think they've seen it all,
But you were built for rising every time you fall.

[Chorus]
Linda, you were written in a careful hand,
Every contradiction part of something grand,
The fire and the stillness, they were always true,
The cosmos didn't make a mistake when it made you.

[Verse 2]
You feel the room before you ever cross the door,
You take on other people's weight and then take more,
Your love is ancient, steady, something touched and real,
Not given out in pieces — it's a seven-course meal,
But you've wondered if the ones you love can love you back,
If all you give in daylight fills the midnight crack.

[PreChorus]
The answer lives already where the doubt used to stay,
What you pour into the world finds its way back someday.

[Chorus]
Linda, you were written in a careful hand,
Every contradiction part of something grand,
The fire and the stillness, they were always true,
The cosmos didn't make a mistake when it made you.

[Verse 3]
There's a healer in you forged from every ache you've known,
From the questions left unanswered and the seeds you've grown alone,
Your mind moves like a river through the language of the dream,
Finding truth in images where logic splits the seam,
You've wrestled with the shadow in the hours no one sees,
And come back to the surface carrying all the keys.

[PreChorus]
The wound you thought was weakness was your compass all along,
Every tender broken place is where you found your song.

[Chorus]
Linda, you were written in a careful hand,
Every contradiction part of something grand,
The fire and the stillness, they were always true,
The cosmos didn't make a mistake when it made you.

[Verse 4]
Your worth was never borrowed and it can't be given back,
It doesn't live in what you do or what you think you lack,
The world will grow around you like a garden round a root,
You are the quiet patience and you are the fruit,
Success has been assembling like a tide behind the shore,
You haven't missed your moment — it is still in store.

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn the right to take up all your space,
You were always, always enough — right here, right in this place.

[Chorus]
Linda, you were written in a careful hand,
Every contradiction part of something grand,
The fire and the stillness, they were always true,
The cosmos didn't make a mistake when it made you.

[Bridge]
The moon knows how you carry light you don't think people see,
The stars have held your story since before you learned to breathe,
You are not a work in progress waiting to be done,
You are whole — you always were — you are the work and you're the sun.

[Outro]
So rest inside the truth of everything you are,
Linda, you were mapped by something greater than the stars,
The fire still burns steady and the love still runs deep,
You are held, you are known, you are yours to keep.
