[Verse 1]
She carries the tide like it weighs nothing at all
A quiet foundation that cushions every fall
Her mind thinks in poetry, her hands think in care
She tends to the broken and asks for nothing there
There's an ocean inside her she rarely lets show
And a mountain beneath her wherever she goes

[PreChorus]
She was built from both the softness and the stone
Something vast and ancient living on her own

[Chorus]
The stars wrote you carefully, Patti, in permanent ink
You are deeper than the water, stronger than you think
The cosmos held its breath and placed you here with care
A soul like yours was needed, and the universe knew where

[Verse 2]
She questions her worth like a habit she can't shake
Keeps a careful count of every thing she didn't make
She gives before she's asked, she heals before she's paid
Pours herself like rainfall into everything she's made
But the wound that lives inside her is the seed that grew her wise
Every ache she ever carried is what sharpened up her eyes

[PreChorus]
She was built from both the softness and the stone
Something vast and ancient living on her own

[Chorus]
The stars wrote you carefully, Patti, in permanent ink
You are deeper than the water, stronger than you think
The cosmos held its breath and placed you here with care
A soul like yours was needed, and the universe knew where

[Verse 3]
She loves like something ancient, like a slow and steady flame
Like a home that keeps the light on and remembers every name
She wants a love that holds her when the structure starts to crack
Someone steady at the threshold who won't flinch and won't fall back
She was never meant for shallow, never meant for small
She was written for the wholeness, the everything, the all

[PreChorus]
She was built from both the softness and the stone
Something vast and ancient living on her own

[Chorus]
The stars wrote you carefully, Patti, in permanent ink
You are deeper than the water, stronger than you think
The cosmos held its breath and placed you here with care
A soul like yours was needed, and the universe knew where

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to rest inside your skin
Everything you're looking for was always held within
The world you keep on building started long before this day
You are guided, you are rooted, you were never lost — just on your way

[Outro]
You are exactly what the sky intended you to be
Patti, come home to yourself — you were always free
