[Verse 1]
She keeps her roots buried deep where no one can see,
Steady as the earth, wild as she needs to be,
She holds all the weight of the people she loves inside,
Builds her whole world from the warmth she can't always confide,
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those quiet oceans running deep behind her eyes

[PreChorus]
She carries more than anyone has asked her to,
And still she opens every door before she walks through

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Zoey carefully with ink that never fades,
She's rooted like the oldest tree and brilliant like a blaze,
Zoey, you were always more than what you've tried to prove,
The sky mapped out a life for you and it was always true

[Verse 2]
Her mind moves slow and certain like a river finding ground,
She holds a thought like something sacred till the meaning's found,
She reaches out with gentle hands before she's even asked,
She loves like something ancient, like it's built to last,
But she's kept her own heart waiting in the hallway of the rest,
Afraid to name her needs out loud among the ones she's blessed

[PreChorus]
She's not too much, she's not too still, she's not too late,
Every road she's walked through brought her to this gate

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Zoey carefully with ink that never fades,
She's rooted like the oldest tree and brilliant like a blaze,
Zoey, you were always more than what you've tried to prove,
The sky mapped out a life for you and it was always true

[Verse 3]
She's felt like a stranger in a crowd that couldn't hold her kind,
Searched the edge of every answer with a restless, seeking mind,
Reached for something to believe in when the old ones fell apart,
Found the compass wasn't missing, it was beating in her heart,
She was born to question, born to carry light through sacred unknowns,
And every wound she's walked through quietly became a stepping stone

[PreChorus]
The world she wants to build is not a dream too far to touch,
She was made for this, she's ready, and she's always been enough

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Zoey carefully with ink that never fades,
She's rooted like the oldest tree and brilliant like a blaze,
Zoey, you were always more than what you've tried to prove,
The sky mapped out a life for you and it was always true

[Bridge]
Let the ground hold you, let the light come in,
What you're carrying now is where the new begins,
Healing finds the ones who've loved this hard and long,
What felt like the breaking was you growing strong

[Outro]
The sky has always known your name,
Every season you've been changing, you've been flame,
Zoey, you are held, you are seen, you are enough,
You were written in the stars before the world grew tough
