[Verse 1]
There's a quiet in you that the world can't read,
A mind like a current running under the reed,
You notice the details no one else will catch,
You carry your feelings like a carefully drawn map,
They see the surface, the composure, the grace,
They don't see the ocean living under your face,

[PreChorus]
But everything you hold in secret has a name,
And the depth you've been afraid of is your flame,

[Chorus]
Sonja, you were written in a careful hand,
Built from tides and earth and something no one understands,
Every quiet corner of you holds a universe,
Sonja, you were always enough — you came here first,

[Verse 2]
You love like someone keeping inventory of care,
You remember what they mentioned, you show up, you're there,
But behind the steady giving lives a locked and guarded room,
Where the things that hurt you oldest still take up the most room,
You've learned to trust in stages, to let closeness in slow,
And every scar you carry marks a harder thing you know,

[PreChorus]
That wound around your worth was never really yours,
What you thought was empty ground was just uncharted shores,

[Chorus]
Sonja, you were written in a careful hand,
Built from tides and earth and something no one understands,
Every quiet corner of you holds a universe,
Sonja, you were always enough — you came here first,

[Verse 3]
You've walked between the need for roots and the hunger to roam,
Collecting all these worlds inside and still calling none of them home,
Your mind moves fast, your words arrive with precision and weight,
You see what others miss and then you pause before you state,
There's a fire in your presence that you dress up as calm,
And the way the room shifts when you enter is its own kind of psalm,

[PreChorus]
The light you shine on others — turn it once around,
Everything you've been searching for is already found,

[Chorus]
Sonja, you were written in a careful hand,
Built from tides and earth and something no one understands,
Every quiet corner of you holds a universe,
Sonja, you were always enough — you came here first,

[Bridge]
Let the season turn and let the gold come through,
The skies are opening wide and they are opening for you,
You don't have to prove the depth of what you are,
The cosmos wrote you carefully — you are the star,

[Outro]
Rest in what you're worth, let the tide come in,
Sonja, this is where your truest light begins,
