[Verse 1]
There's a fire in you that burns where no one sees,
A Leo sun that bows to no one, wild and free,
But you carry all that light inside a quiet room,
The whole sky in your chest, a private afternoon,
You've learned to hold the warmth before you let it show,
A blaze that runs so deep the surface doesn't glow

[PreChorus]
They see the steady hand, the calm, the careful mind,
They don't see all the tides you're leaving them behind

[Chorus]
Melissa, you were written in a language made of fire,
Built from something ancient, something older than desire,
Every room you walk into, the air already knows,
You are the light that holds itself before it overflows

[Verse 2]
You love by showing up when no one thinks to ask,
You memorize the details others rush right past,
You've weighed your words so long you've swallowed some whole,
Put everyone in balance while you misplace your own soul,
But all that careful giving isn't something you should break,
It's the proof that what you carry is too real to be fake

[PreChorus]
The wound that said you're not enough ran quiet and deep,
But every scar you've gathered, you've refused to keep

[Chorus]
Melissa, you were written in a language made of fire,
Built from something ancient, something older than desire,
Every room you walk into, the air already knows,
You are the light that holds itself before it overflows

[Verse 3]
There's a restlessness inside you like a question with no door,
A searching for a meaning that the world's held back before,
You've questioned what you're building and you've questioned where you stand,
But the compass you've been looking for is already in your hand,
The universe laid down your roots and said now let them grow,
You were mapped before the morning, you have further left to go

[PreChorus]
Stop measuring your worth against the weight of what you've done,
You don't have to earn your place here underneath your own sun

[Chorus]
Melissa, you were written in a language made of fire,
Built from something ancient, something older than desire,
Every room you walk into, the air already knows,
You are the light that holds itself before it overflows

[Bridge]
You don't need to be louder, you don't need to be more,
You are full and you are worthy, you are everything you're for,
Let the season turn and find you standing in your truth,
The stars have always known exactly what lives in you

[Outro]
You are held by something larger than the doubt you've ever known,
Melissa, you were always the light coming home
