[Verse 1]
She wakes up running before the world has caught its breath
A fire in her boots, a mind that won't accept what's left
She talks in full paragraphs, she thinks in open skies
Two hearts beating different rhythms living in one life
She's the question and the answer in the very same breath
A woman born to wander, but she's building something yet

[PreChorus]
She carries more than anybody knows she's holding
A quiet kind of thunder always slowly rolling

[Chorus]
Michele, the stars were talking when they made you
Every crack of light inside you is the proof
Michele, you don't have to keep on proving
You were written whole, you've always been the truth

[Verse 2]
She loves like coming home, like bread and porch light warm
She gives before she's asked and weathers every storm
But somewhere underneath the giving and the grace
There's a girl who learned to smile before she took up space
She carried what she shouldn't, wore the weight like it was hers
But every burden she has lifted is a testament to her

[PreChorus]
She's built of ancient knowing and of hard-won ground
The kind of soul that heals the world without a sound

[Chorus]
Michele, the stars were talking when they made you
Every crack of light inside you is the proof
Michele, you don't have to keep on proving
You were written whole, you've always been the truth

[Verse 3]
Her mind goes deep as river beds and wide as open land
She reads between the lines of things most folks don't understand
She's chased the edge of every question past the known
And found that meaning isn't found, it's grown
She's wrestled faith and doubt like they were kin
And came out knowing something quiet lives within

[PreChorus]
The universe mapped out her restless, reaching soul
And called it not a weakness but a road

[Chorus]
Michele, the stars were talking when they made you
Every crack of light inside you is the proof
Michele, you don't have to keep on proving
You were written whole, you've always been the truth

[Verse 4]
She's reaching for a healing that's been coming all along
A softer kind of season after years of being strong
The wound she hid the longest is the doorway to her gift
Every time she felt the weight, she was learning how to lift
She doesn't need another mountain left to climb
She just needs to know she's sacred, she's on time

[PreChorus]
The sky is shifting gently toward a long-deserved light
And everything she carried led her right

[Chorus]
Michele, the stars were talking when they made you
Every crack of light inside you is the proof
Michele, you don't have to keep on proving
You were written whole, you've always been the truth

[Bridge]
She is rooted, she is reaching, she is more than she believes
She's the stillness in the current and the color in the leaves
What she carries isn't burden, it's a lantern for the dark
The cosmos put a compass right inside her heart

[Outro]
So rest now, let the night hold what the day could never say
Michele, you've always been enough in every way
