[Verse 1]
There's a scale inside you, always weighing what is true,
A mind that turns things over, seeking beauty in the view,
You read between the silences, you feel what can't be said,
A thousand worlds inside you that you carry in your head,
They see the calm you offer, they don't see the tides you keep,
The ocean underneath you is impossibly deep.

[PreChorus]
You've carried more than anyone could see,
And still you held the light for others, quietly.

[Chorus]
Laurie, you were written in a language made of fire,
Every scar a stepping stone, every wound taken higher,
You are balanced and you're boundless and you're braver than you know,
Laurie, let the deepest part of you begin to show.

[Verse 2]
You love the way the autumn loves the turning of the year,
With quiet acts of devotion and a precision sincere,
You notice all the details that the careless ones will miss,
A warmth that asks for nothing, just for something real as this,
You've given more than you were asked and wondered was it right,
But every hand you steadied was a gift you brought to light.

[PreChorus]
The weight you wore was never yours alone to bear,
And what you've built through discipline is rare.

[Chorus]
Laurie, you were written in a language made of fire,
Every scar a stepping stone, every wound taken higher,
You are balanced and you're boundless and you're braver than you know,
Laurie, let the deepest part of you begin to show.

[Verse 3]
Your mind is an explorer and it never can stay still,
A restlessness that reaches past the edges of the hill,
You've crossed the borders others drew and redrawn them your way,
A seeker of the meaning in the ordinary day,
Your heart runs cool until it runs so deep the current breaks,
And the ones who know you know the quiet power that it takes.

[PreChorus]
You've stood inside the storm and kept your ground,
And what you know is wisdom dearly found.

[Chorus]
Laurie, you were written in a language made of fire,
Every scar a stepping stone, every wound taken higher,
You are balanced and you're boundless and you're braver than you know,
Laurie, let the deepest part of you begin to show.

[Verse 4]
The sky was drawn with purpose on the night that you arrived,
Every restless contradiction is how you have survived,
There's a legacy of something that no title could contain,
A gentle kind of power that can weather any rain,
The world you've always wanted is the world you helped create,
And the truest part of you has never once arrived too late.

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the right to take your place,
You were always meant to stand here, full of grace.

[Chorus]
Laurie, you were written in a language made of fire,
Every scar a stepping stone, every wound taken higher,
You are balanced and you're boundless and you're braver than you know,
Laurie, let the deepest part of you begin to show.

[Bridge]
You are not the roles you've carried or the doubts you've held at night,
You are something far more ancient, something no one could rewrite,
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades,
You are enough in all your seasons, all your fires and your shades.

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you were always whole,
The stars did not forget you when they made your soul.
