[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that nobody sees,
A Cancer soul who carries the whole wide sea,
You feel the room before you walk in the door,
A quiet kind of knowing that the world asks more,
You've learned to keep the deepest waters still,
But stillness isn't emptiness — it never will be.

[PreChorus]
You hold the light for everyone but you,
It's time the light came home to something true.

[Chorus]
Stephanie, the stars wrote you in permanent ink,
You're deeper than the surface, stronger than you think,
Every wave you've weathered, every night alone,
Was teaching you the language of your way back home.

[Verse 2]
You walk in like a fire, warm and bright and wide,
But the part that matters most you keep locked up inside,
You love like something ancient, faithful, and wide-armed,
But you've been afraid to show the places that were scarred,
The wound beneath the giving is a sacred kind of grace,
And what you thought was broken was just making you more brave.

[PreChorus]
You hold the light for everyone but you,
It's time the light came home to something true.

[Chorus]
Stephanie, the stars wrote you in permanent ink,
You're deeper than the surface, stronger than you think,
Every wave you've weathered, every night alone,
Was teaching you the language of your way back home.

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves like a river through a thousand different streams,
You've built entire worlds inside the in-between of dreams,
The way you read a silence, the way you feel before you speak,
That's not a flaw or fragile — that's a gift they ought to seek,
You've carried generations in the marrow of your bones,
And everything they left you, you've been quietly turning into gold.

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn your place inside this story,
You were written in before the world could see your glory.

[Chorus]
Stephanie, the stars wrote you in permanent ink,
You're deeper than the surface, stronger than you think,
Every wave you've weathered, every night alone,
Was teaching you the language of your way back home.

[Verse 4]
The world is drawn to you and doesn't know quite why,
It's something in the gravity you carry in your eyes,
You've stood beside so many in the wreckage of their storms,
Now the universe is clearing all the skies to call you forward,
Let yourself be loved the way you love without a reason,
You are always, always worth it — in every single season.

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn your place inside this story,
You were written in before the world could see your glory.

[Chorus]
Stephanie, the stars wrote you in permanent ink,
You're deeper than the surface, stronger than you think,
Every wave you've weathered, every night alone,
Was teaching you the language of your way back home.

[Bridge]
There's a compass made of moonlight at the center of your chest,
It has never once misled you, even in the darkest stretch,
You are guided, you are rooted, you are more than what you've shown,
Every piece of you was always, always worthy to be known.

[Outro]
So rest inside the truth of all you are,
Stephanie, you were always meant to make it this far.
