[Verse 1]
There's a fire in you that moves before the world can catch up
A spark that hits the ground running, never needs to stop
But underneath that boldness lives an ocean running deep
A tide that pulls you homeward, a current no one sees
You've built your whole identity on roots and what feels true
The bravest thing you've ever done is learning to need, too

[PreChorus]
They see the confidence, they miss the ache inside
How hard you love, how much you carry, how you hide

[Chorus]
Melissa, you are more than what you hold together
A woman made of fire, water, changing weather
You don't need to earn the right to take up space
You were written by the stars and you are irreplaceable

[Verse 2]
You love like it's a prayer you can't quite put in words
Like something ancient and immense, like wings on a first bird
You give before you're asked, you feel before they speak
You see the best in people when the best is hard to seek
But love has cost you something — you've dissolved into their tides
Now the most revolutionary act is drawing your own lines

[PreChorus]
The ocean doesn't shrink itself to fit a smaller shore
You were built to hold the depths, and that's worth fighting for

[Chorus]
Melissa, you are more than what you hold together
A woman made of fire, water, changing weather
You don't need to earn the right to take up space
You were written by the stars and you are irreplaceable

[Verse 3]
Your mind is quick and lyrical, a lantern in a storm
Your words have always mattered more than you have been informed
You've spent whole years wondering if your voice lands right
If what you meant to say got lost somewhere in flight
But every thought you've wrestled with, every truth you've chased
Has been the universe recovering what couldn't be erased

[PreChorus]
The tides are turning back toward you, the signal coming clear
Everything you've gathered in the depths is needed here

[Chorus]
Melissa, you are more than what you hold together
A woman made of fire, water, changing weather
You don't need to earn the right to take up space
You were written by the stars and you are irreplaceable

[Bridge]
You were never lost, you were learning how to land
The cosmos mapped your edges long before you'd understand
Every wound became a doorway, every question became ground
You are not what broke you — you're the wholeness that you found

[Outro]
Come home to what you are beneath the proving and the noise
The world was made more whole the day it heard your voice
You are guided, you are held, you have always been enough
Melissa — that's the truth the stars have carried all along
