[Verse 1]
She carries the weight of a mountain and makes it look easy,
A steady hand in a storm when everyone else gets queasy,
She builds things slow and sure, brick by careful brick,
Knows the difference between what's solid and what's a trick,
They see the calm exterior, the composure, the grace,
They don't see the ocean churning underneath that face,

[PreChorus]
A mind that turns the world around before the world wakes up,
A heart that keeps on pouring even when it's running empty in the cup,

[Chorus]
Oh Brenda, you were written in the patient light of winter stars,
Every road that shaped you left you richer for the scars,
Brenda, what they see is just the surface of the sea,
There's a universe inside you that was always meant to be free,

[Verse 2]
She thinks in systems, in futures, in how things could be remade,
Sees the crack in the old world where the new light is displayed,
But underneath the vision there's a tenderness she guards,
An inner room of feeling that she doesn't share in yards,
She's felt like the outsider at the edges of the crowd,
That longing for a place to land, for belonging, spoken loud,

[PreChorus]
But every wall she ever built was proof she knew her worth,
Every quiet she ever kept was wisdom finding birth,

[Chorus]
Oh Brenda, you were written in the patient light of winter stars,
Every road that shaped you left you richer for the scars,
Brenda, what they see is just the surface of the sea,
There's a universe inside you that was always meant to be free,

[Verse 3]
She loves like a question no one else dared ask aloud,
Not the kind of love that disappears inside a crowd,
She needs the real, the rare, the one who meets her mind,
The friend before the lover, the truth before the kind,
She's given more than asked and wondered if that's seen,
Held the dream of perfect love somewhere in between,

[PreChorus]
But the way she loves is ancient, it runs deeper than a name,
It's the kind that lights the dark and doesn't need the flame,

[Chorus]
Oh Brenda, you were written in the patient light of winter stars,
Every road that shaped you left you richer for the scars,
Brenda, what they see is just the surface of the sea,
There's a universe inside you that was always meant to be free,

[Verse 4]
She was born to do something that the world will feel long after,
Not in noise or spectacle but in the quiet kind of chapter,
The one who holds the vision when everybody doubts,
Who finds the thread of meaning through the in-betweens and outs,
She's allowed to rest now, she's allowed to just be still,
What she carries isn't burden, it's the evidence of will,

[PreChorus]
The cosmos didn't write her name in water but in stone,
She was never truly searching, she was always heading home,

[Chorus]
Oh Brenda, you were written in the patient light of winter stars,
Every road that shaped you left you richer for the scars,
Brenda, what they see is just the surface of the sea,
There's a universe inside you that was always meant to be free,

[Bridge]
You don't need to fix every broken thing in sight,
You don't need to earn your place by working through the night,
The ground beneath you knows your name, it always has,
You are rooted, you are whole, you are exactly where you are,

[Outro]
The stars that shaped you haven't finished speaking yet,
Every part of you that aches is something to not forget,
Brenda, you are held by more than you can see,
And you always, always were, completely, completely free,
