[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you face the morning light,
A current running deeper than what shows on sight,
You move before the world has caught up with your name,
But beneath all that boldness lives a tender flame,
You feel what others miss and speak it like a poem,
A heart that dreams in oceans, but has learned to call it home,

[PreChorus]
They see the spark, they miss the sea,
All that you carry quietly,

[Chorus]
Sallie, the stars wrote you carefully,
A soul too wide for what the eye can see,
You are the fire and the tide combined,
You are enough — you were always the design,

[Verse 2]
You've worked for every table you were never pulled up to,
You gave before they asked and kept on giving when they withdrew,
You've carried roots that tangled, homes that didn't always hold,
And turned every inheritance into something brave and bold,
The wounds around your worthiness were never yours to keep,
They were the river's pressure that just made you run more deep,

[PreChorus]
You've built the walls, you've paid the price,
But every scar was made of ice — it melts,

[Chorus]
Sallie, the stars wrote you carefully,
A soul too wide for what the eye can see,
You are the fire and the tide combined,
You are enough — you were always the design,

[Verse 3]
You love like something ancient, like a hand you can't recall,
You'd give the last of everything before you'd ask at all,
You've chased the perfect union through the ones who couldn't stay,
But love was always practice for the grace you'd find one day,
You don't need to be mirrored to know your light is real,
What you long to find outside you — you already feel,

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn the room you're in,
Your presence was the offering,

[Chorus]
Sallie, the stars wrote you carefully,
A soul too wide for what the eye can see,
You are the fire and the tide combined,
You are enough — you were always the design,

[Verse 4]
The world needs the vision that you carry like a torch,
The kind of truth that's lived through — not just studied on a porch,
You're moving toward a legacy that isn't built for fame,
But for every life made better just from knowing that you came,
A new wind is gathering, bold and long-awaited,
Everything you've grown through has been quietly preparing,

[PreChorus]
The compass in you always knew the way,
You're not behind — you're right on time today,

[Chorus]
Sallie, the stars wrote you carefully,
A soul too wide for what the eye can see,
You are the fire and the tide combined,
You are enough — you were always the design,

[Bridge]
The universe did not forget your name,
Every ending was a doorway, not a flame,
You were held in every moment you felt lost,
You were worth it — every tender, fearless cost,

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing, let the old doubt go,
Sallie, you were written by the stars long ago,
You are the fire and the tide — you are enough,
You always were — and nothing will undo that love,
