[Verse 1]
She wears the tide behind her eyes, steady on the surface still,
A quiet ocean running deep beneath a lion's will,
She gives her warmth like it costs her nothing, holds her hurt inside,
They see the calm, they never see the undertow and tide,
Her heart thinks in poetry, her hands reach out before she's asked,
She's been the one who holds the room while holding off her past

[PreChorus]
But all that weight she carries quiet was never hers to prove,
There's a current pulling homeward, and it's made to move

[Chorus]
Leslie, you were written by the sky with careful hands,
You are more than all the love you give to other plans,
Every river finds the sea and you will find your way,
Leslie, you were always meant to take up all this space

[Verse 2]
She grew up learning how to read the weather in a room,
To shape herself around the mood and disappear the wound,
She fought for everyone she loved with everything she had,
And swallowed down the words she needed, good disguised as glad,
But that protectiveness, that fire, that way she goes to war,
Is the same love that could finally turn and face her own front door

[PreChorus]
The roots that held her back so long have grown into a throne,
What felt like walls were always wings she hadn't fully known

[Chorus]
Leslie, you were written by the sky with careful hands,
You are more than all the love you give to other plans,
Every river finds the sea and you will find your way,
Leslie, you were always meant to take up all this space

[Verse 3]
She's learning that her worth was never something to be earned,
That the world needs what she carries, every lesson that she learned,
There's a quiet kind of power in the way she sees a soul,
The way she holds a broken thing and somehow makes it whole,
She's building something real now on the bedrock of her name,
And the light she shines on everyone belongs inside her flame

[PreChorus]
The cosmos didn't write her small, they wrote her like a tide,
Like a season that was always coming, impossible to hide

[Chorus]
Leslie, you were written by the sky with careful hands,
You are more than all the love you give to other plans,
Every river finds the sea and you will find your way,
Leslie, you were always meant to take up all this space

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the morning, it was always yours to keep,
You don't have to prove your value, child, you run too wide and deep,
Let the season turn and find you standing open in the sun,
You are not the things you carried — you're what shines when they're undone

[Outro]
The stars didn't guess at you, they knew,
Every tide, every fire, every ache pulled you through,
Leslie, rest now in the truth of what you are,
You were never lost — you were always the star
