[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold the room
Like the earth before a storm, like a field in bloom
You carry what you feel like a river underground
All that current running deep, barely making sound
They see the calm, they don't see the tide
All the tenderest parts you keep tucked inside

[PreChorus]
But the depth of you is not a flaw to fix
It's the oldest kind of medicine that exists

[Chorus]
Staci, you were written in the patient ground
A fire and a garden, both lost and found
Every root you grew in the dark still counts
You are more than what the broken days amount

[Verse 2]
You love like you mean it, like you've always known
That the heart worth giving is the one that's shown
You've walked through rooms where no one called your name
And kept your arms wide open just the same
There's a wound beneath the wanting to belong
But the way you turned that ache into a song

[PreChorus]
That's not weakness wearing patience like a coat
That's the kind of grace that keeps an open boat

[Chorus]
Staci, you were written in the patient ground
A fire and a garden, both lost and found
Every root you grew in the dark still counts
You are more than what the broken days amount

[Verse 3]
You think in lightning, feel in cathedral walls
You've been rebuilding home from every time it falls
A mind that won't rest easy till the truth is clear
A soul that senses everything nobody hears
You've tried to make yourself a little less
But the world needs all of you, not something less

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the right to take up space
You were born into that right, born into that grace

[Chorus]
Staci, you were written in the patient ground
A fire and a garden, both lost and found
Every root you grew in the dark still counts
You are more than what the broken days amount

[Verse 4]
The sky above your birth was mapped with something rare
An arrow and an anchor, both hanging in the air
The ones who wander furthest carry the deepest maps
And every time you doubted, something still came back
You are built for more than surviving what was hard
You're a legacy in motion, not a broken shard

[PreChorus]
The same stars that shaped your hunger shaped your light
You were never lost, just learning your own sight

[Chorus]
Staci, you were written in the patient ground
A fire and a garden, both lost and found
Every root you grew in the dark still counts
You are more than what the broken days amount

[Bridge]
Let the new light come and find you as you are
Not who you were before the fall, but who you are
The season turning over says begin again
You are held, you are whole, you have always been

[Outro]
The stars don't make mistakes, they made you true
Everything the cosmos kept, it kept for you
