[Verse 1]
She carries the mountain inside her chest,
A quiet ambition she never confessed,
She weighs every word before it's released,
A mind chasing meaning, a soul seeking peace,
They see her composed, they don't see the tide,
All those deep currents she's learned how to hide.

[PreChorus]
But the roots of a tree don't ask to be seen,
And everything steady was built in between.

[Chorus]
Monica, you are the calm and the storm,
The ancient and wild, the chosen and born,
You don't need to prove what you already are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, like ink among the stars.

[Verse 2]
She loves like a vow made in winter's cold air,
Slow to arrive but impossible to wear,
Not roses and fire, but presence and time,
A devotion so steady it borders divine,
She gives before asked, she stays when it's hard,
She guards what she loves like a keeper of stars.

[PreChorus]
And the ones who go deep know exactly your worth,
You love like something ancient as the earth.

[Chorus]
Monica, you are the calm and the storm,
The ancient and wild, the chosen and born,
You don't need to prove what you already are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, like ink among the stars.

[Verse 3]
There's a world in her head that nobody maps,
Ideas that arrive through the widest of gaps,
She's been the outsider who sees what they miss,
The visionary standing at the edge of the abyss,
That restlessness running beneath her skin,
Is the fire of a mind that refuses to dim.

[PreChorus]
The tension you carry between free and held,
Is the place where your greatest becoming has dwelled.

[Chorus]
Monica, you are the calm and the storm,
The ancient and wild, the chosen and born,
You don't need to prove what you already are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, like ink among the stars.

[Verse 4]
She's held other people's hurt like it was her own,
Absorbed every sorrow and called it her home,
But the Cancer moon rising calls something new,
An awakening tide that is coming for you,
Permission to soften, to rest, to receive,
You've earned every season you've chosen to breathe.

[PreChorus]
The new moon is turning the dark into grace,
And you were always enough to take up this space.

[Chorus]
Monica, you are the calm and the storm,
The ancient and wild, the chosen and born,
You don't need to prove what you already are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, like ink among the stars.

[Bridge]
Every wound that you carried became a lantern,
Every wall that you built let in the light,
You were mapped by something far older than doubt,
And you are exactly where you belong tonight.

[Outro]
So rest in the knowing, let the new moon rise,
Monica, you were written in a faithful sky,
The world needs what you carry, so don't give it away,
You are guided, you are held, you are enough today.
