[Verse 1]
They see the grace, they miss the weight you carry late at night
The scales you hold so steady while you're trembling out of sight
You measure every word before it leaves your careful tongue
A diplomat by nature, but the battle's never done
There's an ocean underneath the calm you show the room
A Capricorn moon hidden, blooming dark like winter bloom

[PreChorus]
You've spent so long being useful, being needed, being right
But who's been holding you when you finally lose the light?

[Chorus]
Lori, you were written by the careful hand of time
Every contradiction in you makes you more divine
You don't have to earn the space that was already yours to keep
You are more than what you give, you are more than what they see

[Verse 2]
You love like it's a covenant, like something sworn and sealed
Not surface, not a season — something ancient, something real
You'll wait until the trust is built before you let them in
Then give with every marrow bone, right down beneath the skin
And yes, the fear of being left has walked beside you long
But loving without armor is the bravest kind of strong

[PreChorus]
The wounds around your worth were never proof that you were less
They carved the depth in you that makes your presence feel like rest

[Chorus]
Lori, you were written by the careful hand of time
Every contradiction in you makes you more divine
You don't have to earn the space that was already yours to keep
You are more than what you give, you are more than what they see

[Verse 3]
Your mind's a living library, it never stops its turn
You've caught the things that others missed, you notice and discern
You've wandered through philosophies and held more than one truth
A quiet revolutionary dressed in wisdom, not in proof
They see the stillness on your face, they don't see what it cost
To build yourself back, quietly, from everything you've lost

[PreChorus]
You carry what most people couldn't name, let alone hold
And still you show up generous, and still you show up bold

[Chorus]
Lori, you were written by the careful hand of time
Every contradiction in you makes you more divine
You don't have to earn the space that was already yours to keep
You are more than what you give, you are more than what they see

[Verse 4]
A Cancer moon is rising and it's calling something home
A tide that stirs the sleeping roots of all you've always known
The new beginning doesn't ask you to become someone new
It asks you to uncover what was always whole in you
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't fade
You are the light that finally sees the light that you have made

[PreChorus]
Stop waiting for permission from a world that doesn't know
The fullness of the fire that you carry as you go

[Chorus]
Lori, you were written by the careful hand of time
Every contradiction in you makes you more divine
You don't have to earn the space that was already yours to keep
You are more than what you give, you are more than what they see

[Bridge]
You are not the weight you've worn, you are not the walls you've built
Every scar became a story, never something meant for guilt
The universe has held your name since long before this day
Lori, you were always meant to find your way

[Outro]
The stars don't shine for those who've got it all figured out
They shine the brightest for the ones who dared to live in doubt
You are guided, you are held, you are enough right now
The sky has always known your name — and it remembers how
