[Verse 1]
She holds a thousand questions where her silence used to be,
A mind that catches lightning and sets every tightrope free,
She reads the room before she enters, sees the turn before the bend,
But the ocean underneath her smile is where she goes to mend,
She's built a home inside her ribcage, keeps the warmth behind a door,
And nurtures everyone around her while she quietly wants more,

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they miss the tide,
All that depth she keeps inside,

[Chorus]
Helen, you were written in a language the stars speak slow,
Every contradiction in you is the most beautiful thing they know,
You don't need to dim the thunder just to make the soft ones stay,
Helen, you were always worth the full and unedited display,

[Verse 2]
She loves like striking a match in the dark, immediate and true,
Headfirst and whole and burning for whoever she runs to,
But somewhere in the scar tissue lives a fear that close means lost,
So she maps the exits quietly and tallies every cost,
That isn't weakness hiding — it's a heart that's learned to think,
A woman who knows how deep it hurts to love right to the brink,

[PreChorus]
They see the fire, miss the ache,
How much she gives before she breaks,

[Chorus]
Helen, you were written in a language the stars speak slow,
Every contradiction in you is the most beautiful thing they know,
You don't need to dim the thunder just to make the soft ones stay,
Helen, you were always worth the full and unedited display,

[Verse 3]
She carries ancient knowledge in the marrow of her bones,
A voice that's meant for something more than whispering alone,
The world has always needed what she builds before she's asked,
And the truest version of herself lives just behind the mask,
The new moon pulls the water and the water knows the way,
Something old is waking up — she's ready to begin today,

[PreChorus]
Not the version that they needed,
The one she's always been,

[Bridge]
The cosmos didn't write her small, it wrote her to remain,
Every time she's started over she has turned the loss to gain,
She is held by something nameless in the turning of the tide,
She was never lost — she's always been exactly right inside,

[Outro]
Helen, the sky remembers every prayer you didn't say,
You are guided, you are rooted, you are enough — exactly this way,
Let the Cancer moon come find you in the quiet and the deep,
You've earned the kind of blooming that was always yours to keep,
