[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath that careful face you wear,
A tide that pulls at midnight when there's no one else to care,
You've memorized the shape of every room before you speak,
Reading what's unspoken, finding what the others seek,
You carry homes inside you like a lantern in the cold,
And every scar you've gathered is the truest thing you hold,

[PreChorus]
But you've been the keeper so long, you forgot to keep yourself,
All that quiet devotion gathering dust upon the shelf,

[Chorus]
Lynn, the stars wrote you carefully with ink that never fades,
You are more than what you've given through the seasons and the days,
Every tide inside you is exactly where it should be,
Lynn, you are the ocean and you are allowed to be free,

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like a current through the wider, wilder blue,
Reaching past the horizon for a truth that carries through,
You've loved like something ancient, slow and steady at the root,
Patient as the deep earth where the tallest oak takes fruit,
But you've wondered if the love you give comes circling back to you,
If you're allowed to hunger for the warmth you're always due,

[PreChorus]
You've stood in so many doorways, holding space for everyone,
Still you rise before the asking like a quiet winter sun,

[Chorus]
Lynn, the stars wrote you carefully with ink that never fades,
You are more than what you've given through the seasons and the days,
Every tide inside you is exactly where it should be,
Lynn, you are the ocean and you are allowed to be free,

[Verse 3]
There's a fire in how you move when something calls you to believe,
A restless, knowing compass tugging gently at your sleeve,
You've built things slow and solid, you've repaired what time has worn,
You've done it without fanfare, you've done it quietly, sworn,
The world has felt your steady hand and never named the weight,
But the bones of what you've built, love, will long outlast the wait,

[PreChorus]
You don't need one more reason, you don't need to earn your place,
You were written for this moment, you were made with boundless grace,

[Chorus]
Lynn, the stars wrote you carefully with ink that never fades,
You are more than what you've given through the seasons and the days,
Every tide inside you is exactly where it should be,
Lynn, you are the ocean and you are allowed to be free,

[Bridge]
The moon saw how you carried what you never put to words,
The cosmos held its breath for you and every prayer you stirred,
You are rooted, you are reaching, you are whole inside this skin,
Every part of you belongs here, let the rest begin,

[Outro]
Lynn, the stars have always known you, they were watching all along,
You are guided, you are held, you are exactly where you belong,
