[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that nobody sees,
A current running deep beneath the ease,
You carry everyone before you carry you,
A mind like lightning, a heart that runs true,
The world gets the warmth but not the weight you hold,
The quiet wisdom in you, patient, uncontrolled

[PreChorus]
You've built the walls with your own two hands,
Not out of weakness — just learning where you stand

[Chorus]
Helen, you were written in water and light,
A soul that holds the day and still tends to the night,
The wheel is turning, returning what you've sown,
Helen, you are more than the seeds you've been shown

[Verse 2]
You love like something rooted in ancient ground,
Steady and devoted, not making a sound,
You give before you're asked and ask for nothing back,
You've built a life from everything the years tried to crack,
One hand for your daughter, one holding the line,
A kind of fierce and quiet that was always by design

[PreChorus]
The guarded heart has reasons good and true,
But darling, all that love deserves to come back to you

[Chorus]
Helen, you were written in water and light,
A soul that holds the day and still tends to the night,
The wheel is turning, returning what you've sown,
Helen, you are more than the seeds you've been shown

[Verse 3]
The fire in you moves before the world can name it,
The fear says hold it back but you can never tame it,
You've descended into dark and climbed back holding grace,
There's a compass built inside you always pointing to your place,
Your sacrifice has not dissolved into the air,
The universe has been accounting, and it's been keeping every prayer

[PreChorus]
Let go of the weight you've worn like it's your skin,
The strength was never something you had to earn to win

[Chorus]
Helen, you were written in water and light,
A soul that holds the day and still tends to the night,
The wheel is turning, returning what you've sown,
Helen, you are more than the seeds you've been shown

[Bridge]
What you've carried would have broken anyone less,
But your kind of love was never built to be made small,
The best of what is coming has been learning your address,
You don't have to hold the ceiling — you're allowed to let it fall

[Outro]
The stars that shaped you didn't make a mistake,
You are exactly enough, for your own magnificent sake
