[Verse 1]
She holds the earth like something worth protecting,
Steady on the outside, deep currents intersecting,
There's an ocean underneath that no one's learned to read,
A garden growing quiet in the places none can see,
She'll keep her distance, not from pride but from the ache,
Of carrying too much in silence for everyone else's sake

[PreChorus]
She feels it all before the room even knows,
A tide inside that rises, soft and sure it flows

[Chorus]
Mandy, the world was written in your bones,
Every scar a stepping stone back home,
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
You were already whole the day you came to be

[Verse 2]
She loves like someone striking flint against the cold,
Brave enough to burn before the story has been told,
First into the fire, heart before the careful plan,
She believes in people longer than she probably should,
But that stubborn kind of faith is rarer than it's good,
She picks herself back up and loves again because she can

[PreChorus]
She sees the beauty others walk right past,
She builds the kind of things that are meant to last

[Chorus]
Mandy, the world was written in your bones,
Every scar a stepping stone back home,
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
You were already whole the day you came to be

[Verse 3]
There's a mind that moves like lightning through the leaves,
Thinking ten steps further than the eye can ever see,
She notices the pattern in the silence and the seam,
But the inner critic whispers louder than it should,
Telling her the work she does is never quite as good,
That voice was never truth, it was just fear dressed up as clean

[PreChorus]
She carries more than anyone has asked her to,
But the weight she bears has shaped her through and through

[Chorus]
Mandy, the world was written in your bones,
Every scar a stepping stone back home,
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
You were already whole the day you came to be

[Verse 4]
There's a pull toward the deep, toward the hidden and the true,
The kind of transformation only few dare to move through,
She has stood inside the burning and come out refined,
The stars themselves conspired just to make a soul this rare,
Grace and fire living equal in the same one who dares,
To keep on loving fully with that luminous, steady mind

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote her carefully with ink that holds,
A life of meaning breaking through like light through gold

[Chorus]
Mandy, the world was written in your bones,
Every scar a stepping stone back home,
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
You were already whole the day you came to be

[Bridge]
Rest now in the knowing you are seen,
Every root you've grown runs deeper than it seems,
The world needs what you carry, don't withhold,
You are guided, you are grounded, you are whole

[Outro]
So lay your burdens gently on the earth,
You were never less than everything you're worth,
The quietest rivers carve the deepest stone,
Mandy, you have always been enough on your own
