[Verse 1]
She carries fire the way the north wind carries cold,
A force that moves before the story's even told,
She leads with her whole chest, she loves without a shield,
But underneath that boldness is a wound that's never healed,
She's built her worth in service, in the doing and the care,
While the part that needs the tending stands alone and waits somewhere,

[PreChorus]
But every crack has let the light come through,
And everything she's carried made her true,

[Chorus]
Heidi, the stars wrote you carefully,
A soul too wide for any ordinary sea,
You are the fire and the tide and the open sky,
Heidi, you were never meant to just get by,

[Verse 2]
She thinks in poetry, in rivers, not in lines,
Her intuition moving like a current under ice,
She feels the room before she speaks, she reads what stays unsaid,
A mind that holds the whole wide world and never goes to bed,
She's fought her battles quietly, protected those she loves,
Her deepest strength disguised as calm, like iron dressed in gloves,

[PreChorus]
But the armor she wears so well at night,
Was always meant to rest in morning light,

[Chorus]
Heidi, the stars wrote you carefully,
A soul too wide for any ordinary sea,
You are the fire and the tide and the open sky,
Heidi, you were never meant to just get by,

[Verse 3]
She's longed for roots in ground that held, a home that didn't shift,
And turned that longing into the most quietly tremendous gift,
She loves like something ancient loves, with patience and with heat,
She gives before she's asked and calls the giving incomplete,
But every life she's touched has kept the warmth she left behind,
The kind of mark that doesn't fade, the lasting generous kind,

[PreChorus]
She's standing at the edge of all she knows,
And something bright is turning where she goes,

[Chorus]
Heidi, the stars wrote you carefully,
A soul too wide for any ordinary sea,
You are the fire and the tide and the open sky,
Heidi, you were never meant to just get by,

[Bridge]
The healing isn't something yet to come,
It's already in the way she loves someone,
She doesn't have to earn the right to stay,
She has always been enough, exactly this way,

[Outro]
The cosmos didn't make her to be small,
She was written to be witnessed, all in all,
Heidi, you are held by more than you can see,
And you are home inside yourself, finally free,
