[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you face the world each day,
A horizon chaser who was never meant to stay small,
You speak the truth because the truth is all you know,
And you've carried that torch through every rise and fall,
They see the warmth, they don't see the vigil you keep,
The quiet weight of knowing running fathoms deep

[PreChorus]
You've built your worth with your own two hands,
Held your ground on shifting sands

[Chorus]
Leslie, you were written in a language all your own,
Every scar a stepping stone to somewhere you've outgrown,
The cosmos etched you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
You are the light, the depth, the fire, and the shade

[Verse 2]
You love like open country under a wide open sky,
Honest and adventurous but you need room to breathe,
And when you give your heart it's never halfway done,
It's a covenant, a compass, something people need,
But you've weighed your choices against the world's demand,
And learned that grace is knowing where to place your hand

[PreChorus]
You've worked in silence when no one could see,
Building something sacred quietly

[Chorus]
Leslie, you were written in a language all your own,
Every scar a stepping stone to somewhere you've outgrown,
The cosmos etched you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
You are the light, the depth, the fire, and the shade

[Verse 3]
There's an ocean underneath the stillness that you show,
Tides of feeling that you've learned to anchor and hold,
You've tended to the lives of others like a steadfast ground,
While your own deep roots went searching, rarely told,
But that hunger for belonging was never a wound,
It was the making of a soul the stars designed too soon

[PreChorus]
The voice you doubted still had something to say,
And the world was always listening anyway

[Chorus]
Leslie, you were written in a language all your own,
Every scar a stepping stone to somewhere you've outgrown,
The cosmos etched you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
You are the light, the depth, the fire, and the shade

[Verse 4]
Now a new moon rises over all you've come to know,
An awakening that asks you what you're ready to claim,
The life you've built was never meant to be the end,
It was the foundation for a larger, truer flame,
You don't need permission to take up all your space,
You were made for this becoming, all of it, all of grace

[PreChorus]
The stars don't ask you to carry it alone,
You are guided, you are held, you are home

[Chorus]
Leslie, you were written in a language all your own,
Every scar a stepping stone to somewhere you've outgrown,
The cosmos etched you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
You are the light, the depth, the fire, and the shade

[Bridge]
Let the new moon find you standing in your truth,
What was buried in the dark is breaking into bloom,
You were never lost, you were always being found,
The universe has always known your name, your worth, your ground

[Outro]
The stars don't lie, they only wait,
For you to see what they see when they look your way,
You are enough, exactly as you are today,
Leslie, you were made this way
