[Verse 1]
She carries the tide like it's written in her bones,
A heart built for others, still learning it's her own,
Reserved on the surface, a current underneath,
The kind of depth that silence barely keeps,
She matured in the marrow, grew old in her youth,
A Capricorn rising carrying mountain truth

[PreChorus]
She feels everything the room won't say out loud,
A quiet kind of thunder underneath the cloud

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Melissa carefully and long,
Every wound a hidden room, every room a song,
She is the ocean and the shore that holds it in,
Melissa, you were whole before you began

[Verse 2]
She loves like something ancient, wide, and true,
Grand with her devotion, fierce in what she'll do,
She craves the kind of love that sees behind the wall,
Not afraid to give it all, just afraid to fall,
The scars from hearts she trusted live below the skin,
But they never took the warmth she carries deep within

[PreChorus]
She searches for a mirror in the ones she holds,
Not knowing she's the gold inside the story she's been told

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Melissa carefully and long,
Every wound a hidden room, every room a song,
She is the ocean and the shore that holds it in,
Melissa, you were whole before you began

[Verse 3]
Her mind runs like a river breaking into streams,
Chasing every question, stitching facts to dreams,
She was built to serve, to heal, to understand,
To build a legacy no one else had planned,
The world she wants to leave is one that breathes and bends,
She reforms from the inside out and rises where it ends

[PreChorus]
There's a compass at her center pointing toward the light,
She doesn't need permission, she was already made right

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Melissa carefully and long,
Every wound a hidden room, every room a song,
She is the ocean and the shore that holds it in,
Melissa, you were whole before you began

[Bridge]
The cosmos bent its ink around the shape of who she'd be,
Soft enough to feel it all, strong enough to stay free,
She doesn't need to earn the ground beneath her feet,
She was always home, she was always complete

[Outro]
So let the stars speak what she's always known,
Every light she gave the world was first her own,
She is the tide, she is the root, she is the flame,
The universe remembers every syllable of her name
