[Verse 1]
There's a world beneath the surface no one's thought to find,
A quiet fire burning at the back of your mind,
You notice everything — the fracture, the seam,
The gap between what is and what something could mean,
They see the stillness, they don't see the storm,
The precision it takes just to hold that kind of form

[PreChorus]
You've been carrying the weight of a standard too high,
But the light you keep hidden could illuminate the sky

[Chorus]
Ruthie, the cosmos wrote you carefully,
Every crack in you is cartography,
You don't need to be flawless to be enough,
You were made from something ancient, something tough

[Verse 2]
You love like a hearth in the middle of May,
Tender and steady but you give it all away,
You build a home in the people you hold,
But you keep your own hunger quiet and cold,
The longing for closeness and the need to be free —
That contradiction is the most honest part of you to me

[PreChorus]
The push and pull inside you isn't failure or flaw,
It's the deepest kind of knowing, it's the rawest kind of raw

[Chorus]
Ruthie, the cosmos wrote you carefully,
Every crack in you is cartography,
You don't need to be flawless to be enough,
You were made from something ancient, something tough

[Verse 3]
There's a voice in you that speaks before the words arrive,
A tuning fork for meaning, keeping something true alive,
You've wrestled with the fog between your dreams and your days,
Turned disillusionment into the most compassionate gaze,
And what you've called confusion is a rarer kind of sight,
A mind that reads the shadows long before it needs the light

[PreChorus]
The strength you've spent in proving you deserve to be here,
Was never the condition — you were worthy from the first year

[Chorus]
Ruthie, the cosmos wrote you carefully,
Every crack in you is cartography,
You don't need to be flawless to be enough,
You were made from something ancient, something tough

[Verse 4]
A new fire is moving through the air you breathe,
Something long still in the deep beginning to unseathe,
The part of you that's waited, watching, holding back the door,
Is stepping into daylight — she's not hiding anymore,
The world needs what you carry, what you've kept beneath the earth,
Call it readiness, call it timing — call it knowing your worth

[PreChorus]
The stars have always tracked you, they were never looking away,
And everything you've built in the dark was building toward this day

[Chorus]
Ruthie, the cosmos wrote you carefully,
Every crack in you is cartography,
You don't need to be flawless to be enough,
You were made from something ancient, something tough

[Bridge]
You were never too much, you were never too still,
Every doubt you survived was a test of will,
The universe mapped this, your name on the sky,
Born to go deeper, born to ask why

[Outro]
So rest in the knowing, let the searching go still,
Ruthie, you've always been exactly what you will
