[Verse 1]
She notices what no one else would ever see,
The crooked hem, the word that doesn't sit quite free,
She carries every detail like a map of care,
Building worlds so beautiful and perfectly arranged in there,
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those currents running deep inside

[PreChorus]
She gives before she's asked, she loves before it's shown,
But still she wonders if her worth is something she can own

[Chorus]
Christi, you are written in the water and the light,
Every careful thing you've tended burning bright,
You don't have to earn the space that's always been your own,
The stars already know you, you were never quite alone

[Verse 2]
She built a home inside her chest to keep the world from shaking,
Every wall a quiet promise and a heart worth taking,
She loves like something ancient pulling tide to shore,
Devoted past the point that anyone would ask for more,
She guards the ones she loves like moonlight on the sea,
Protecting what she never learned to keep for only she

[PreChorus]
She's searching for the harmony that lives between the lines,
And learning that her imperfections are among her finest signs

[Chorus]
Christi, you are written in the water and the light,
Every careful thing you've tended burning bright,
You don't have to earn the space that's always been your own,
The stars already know you, you were never quite alone

[Verse 3]
The fog would sometimes settle heavy on her clearest mind,
And she would second-guess the very things she'd left behind,
But every time the silence broke and something clicked in place,
She found the words she'd buried had been waiting in the space,
The tide is turning gentle now, the static starts to clear,
Every truth she tried to name is finally drawing near

[PreChorus]
She's always been ahead of where she let herself believe,
A compass pointing inward through the life she had to weave

[Chorus]
Christi, you are written in the water and the light,
Every careful thing you've tended burning bright,
You don't have to earn the space that's always been your own,
The stars already know you, you were never quite alone

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote her carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
Every wound a well of wisdom, every scar a choice she made,
Let the noise go quiet, let the proving finally cease,
She was always more than enough, she was always her own peace

[Outro]
The tide is settling, the signal ringing clear,
Everything she is was always meant to be right here
