[Verse 1]
She weighs every word before it leaves her lips
A mind like a compass, always finding shifts
She sees through the surface, reads between the lines
Carries quiet thunder wrapped in soft design
They see the grace, they miss the undertow
All that deep water with nowhere to go

[PreChorus]
She's built her worth in what her hands have done
But worth was written in her long before she'd begun

[Chorus]
Denice, you are the balance and the fire
The mountain that holds steady, rising higher
The scales in your hands were never meant to break you
You were carved by stars that loved you as they made you

[Verse 2]
She loves like something ancient, raw, and wide
Like a locked cathedral burning bright inside
She gives before she's asked and asks for nothing back
Then wonders in the dark what she herself may lack
She tends the hearth for everyone she knows
And forgets to warm the hands that keep the embers glowing

[PreChorus]
But loyalty this deep is not a chain, it's a crown
And every wall she built kept her heart safe and sound

[Chorus]
Denice, you are the balance and the fire
The mountain that holds steady, rising higher
The scales in your hands were never meant to break you
You were carved by stars that loved you as they made you

[Verse 3]
There's a wanderer in her searching for the true
A hunger for the meaning underneath the view
She's been let down by systems she believed in whole
But that unbroken longing is the compass of her soul
And every time she rose from what tried to take her down
She didn't just survive it, she rebuilt her crown

[PreChorus]
She came here with a purpose older than her name
No wound she carried ever made her less than what she came

[Chorus]
Denice, you are the balance and the fire
The mountain that holds steady, rising higher
The scales in your hands were never meant to break you
You were carved by stars that loved you as they made you

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote her carefully with ink that doesn't fade
Every scar a passage, every loss a doorway made
She was never lost, she was always being led
By the light she carries, and the life she's left ahead

[Outro]
You are enough without the proof
You are held inside a truth
Every star that marked your birth still holds the thread
You are guided, you are known, you are ahead
