[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold your ground,
Like deep roots learning how to make a sound,
You carry beauty quietly inside,
The world sees calm but doesn't see the tide,
A mind that turns each stone before it rests,
You love more deeply than you will confess.

[PreChorus]
The tension between heart and head runs true,
But every contradiction shaped the best of you.

[Chorus]
Colleen, you are written in the ancient earth,
The cosmos mapped your value long before your birth,
Every depth you carry is a kind of grace,
You were always meant to take up all this space.

[Verse 2]
You fight for everyone who can't fight for themselves,
You keep the heavy things upon the highest shelves,
And oh, the longing just to be truly heard,
To have someone receive your every word,
That ache for understanding isn't loss —
It's the price of minds that never stop at the surface.

[PreChorus]
You've searched the sky for somewhere you belong,
And all this time the answer lived inside your song.

[Chorus]
Colleen, you are written in the ancient earth,
The cosmos mapped your value long before your birth,
Every depth you carry is a kind of grace,
You were always meant to take up all this space.

[Verse 3]
You love like something slow and permanent,
Like tides that know exactly where they went,
Through every season, loyal, warm, and true,
You give before they ever come to you,
But learn to let that river turn back home,
You deserve the love you've always freely sewn.

[PreChorus]
The walls you built were never there to stay,
They were scaffolding for who you are today.

[Chorus]
Colleen, you are written in the ancient earth,
The cosmos mapped your value long before your birth,
Every depth you carry is a kind of grace,
You were always meant to take up all this space.

[Verse 4]
A new light moves through everything you've known,
Like a window opened into seeds you've sown,
The healing isn't coming — it's already here,
In every truth you chose to hold more near,
You don't have to prove the fire that you hold,
You were made of something that doesn't run cold.

[PreChorus]
The stars wrote you in language meant to last,
You are more than every shadow you have passed.

[Chorus]
Colleen, you are written in the ancient earth,
The cosmos mapped your value long before your birth,
Every depth you carry is a kind of grace,
You were always meant to take up all this space.

[Bridge]
You are the deep and you are the returning light,
You are the steady hand that guides yourself through night,
Not despite the storms but through each one you've grown,
You were never lost — you were always coming home.

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you are held,
Every chapter in your story will be told,
Colleen, the universe does not forget,
And the best of you is writing itself yet.
