[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you think before you move,
A mind that catches lightning, always chasing proof,
You carry whole worlds inward, roots that no one sees,
A ram who learned to soften like the winter into spring,
You built your sense of home from every storm you've crossed,
And love the way the earth does — steady, nothing lost

[PreChorus]
They see the surface shining, they don't know the tide,
All that courage running quiet, all that depth inside

[Chorus]
Laurie, you were written in a language old and true,
The cosmos took its time and wrote every word of you,
You don't have to be perfect, just present and alive,
You are held, you are known, and you were born to thrive

[Verse 2]
You love like something patient, warm and unafraid,
Through shared moments, through devotion, through the care you've laid,
But there's a pull between your longing and the life you lead,
Between the world that needs you and the self you need to feed,
You've held so many people through their unraveling,
And learned that being needed isn't the same as being seen

[PreChorus]
The push and pull that lives in you is not a broken thing,
It's fire learning water, it's how deep your rivers sing

[Chorus]
Laurie, you were written in a language old and true,
The cosmos took its time and wrote every word of you,
You don't have to be perfect, just present and alive,
You are held, you are known, and you were born to thrive

[Verse 3]
You've sat with all the shadows underneath the highest aims,
You've felt the ache of building while the inner critic blames,
But that precision in your spirit is a kind of sacred art,
The need to make things better starts with one extraordinary heart,
Your instinct reads the room before a word is ever said,
You've always known what's broken and exactly how to mend

[PreChorus]
The tension between freedom and the duty you have known
Is the very kind of fire that has forged you into gold

[Chorus]
Laurie, you were written in a language old and true,
The cosmos took its time and wrote every word of you,
You don't have to be perfect, just present and alive,
You are held, you are known, and you were born to thrive

[Verse 4]
The light is getting louder now, it's calling out your name,
Not asking you to shrink yourself or dim yourself again,
You've earned the right to stand here in the fullness of your worth,
To stop explaining who you are and simply trust the earth,
There's a compass sewn inside you pointing somewhere true,
Every wound became a doorway, every loss became a view

[PreChorus]
The season's turning open now, the sky is on your side,
Let the lion's warmth remind you — you were never meant to hide

[Chorus]
Laurie, you were written in a language old and true,
The cosmos took its time and wrote every word of you,
You don't have to be perfect, just present and alive,
You are held, you are known, and you were born to thrive

[Bridge]
You carry ancient wisdom in the marrow of your days,
The universe has mapped this path in more than human ways,
Every road that broke you open led you somewhere bright,
You were always, always worth it — you were always worth the light

[Outro]
So rest inside the knowing that you've always been enough,
The stars have not forgotten you — they never gave you up,
Laurie, you are home
