[Verse 1]
She carries the mountain inside her chest,
Steady and silent, she outworks the rest,
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All the currents running fathoms deep inside,
She gives before she's asked and loves without a name,
And every scar she earned became a quiet kind of flame.

[PreChorus]
But the weight she holds alone could break the hardest stone,
She was built for more than carrying it on her own.

[Chorus]
Lou, you are the bedrock and the river,
You are the cold and the warmth in every winter,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
Lou, you were made for more than earning what you gave.

[Verse 2]
There's a mind in there that moves like lightning through the deep,
She thinks in frequencies the waking world won't keep,
She's loved in ways that don't fit any frame or mold,
Gave her heart like something ancient, brave, and unconsoled,
Put her feelings in a locked room just to hold the line,
But everything she buried has been quietly divine.

[PreChorus]
The world she sees is wider than the one that sees her back,
She's been chasing someone's finish line and leaving her own track.

[Chorus]
Lou, you are the bedrock and the river,
You are the cold and the warmth in every winter,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
Lou, you were made for more than earning what you gave.

[Verse 3]
She descended into darkness just to bring the others light,
Kept her hunger for the truth burning through the night,
She's a builder and a seeker and a force that won't be tamed,
She has walked through transformation and come back unchained,
The horizon keeps on calling and she knows the way it sounds,
She's the one who turns the wandering into holy ground.

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need to prove herself to earn her place to stand,
Everything she is was always written in the plan.

[Chorus]
Lou, you are the bedrock and the river,
You are the cold and the warmth in every winter,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
Lou, you were made for more than earning what you gave.

[Bridge]
You don't have to hold the sky to be worth something here,
You are whole in all your seasons, in your doubt and in your clear,
The stars don't burn for proving, they just burn because they do,
And everything they mapped out in the dark was meant for you.

[Outro]
Rest now, Lou, the mountain isn't going anywhere,
You were always more than everything you had to bear.
