[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you move before the world can catch the flame,
A quiet kind of sovereign grace that never needs to stake its claim,
You hold the ones you love like tides — precise, devoted, unannounced,
You've mapped the smallest details out while others never even count,
They see the warmth you lead with, they don't see the ocean underneath,
All the currents you've been carrying since before you learned to breathe

[PreChorus]
But the depth of what you carry is the measure of your worth,
You were written in the heavens long before you touched this earth

[Chorus]
Melissa, the stars have always known your name,
A lion's heart, a Virgo moon, a Pisces in the frame,
You are more than what you've proven, more than what you've had to bear,
You are held by something ancient that was always, always there

[Verse 2]
You think in poetry and feeling, words that rise before the thought,
You've loved with careful, studied hands — a devotion cheaply bought,
You've built your worth in what you give, in showing up, in staying steady,
But the hunger for a love that's real has always kept you ready,
You've stood in rooms and smiled through things that hollowed out your chest,
Protecting everyone around you while you quietly compressed

[PreChorus]
But every wall you built was proof that you knew what love could cost,
And nothing that you gave away was ever truly lost

[Chorus]
Melissa, the stars have always known your name,
A lion's heart, a Virgo moon, a Pisces in the frame,
You are more than what you've proven, more than what you've had to bear,
You are held by something ancient that was always, always there

[Verse 3]
The world is calling you toward something bigger than the shell you've worn,
Not away from who you are — but toward the version being born,
There's a compass in the center of the questions that you carry,
And the searching isn't restlessness — it's sacred, necessary,
The fog is finally lifting now, the signal coming clear,
Every word you held in silence has been waiting to be heard

[PreChorus]
The path was never punishment, the climb was never wrong,
You were always being shaped into the vessel for your song

[Chorus]
Melissa, the stars have always known your name,
A lion's heart, a Virgo moon, a Pisces in the frame,
You are more than what you've proven, more than what you've had to bear,
You are held by something ancient that was always, always there

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to take up space and breathe,
The cosmos wrote you carefully — in light you can't unsee,
The strength you thought was stubbornness was roots refusing ground,
You were never lost, my love — you were always being found

[Outro]
Let the sky remind you what it always understood,
You are whole, you are worthy, and you always have been good,
The stars don't make mistakes — and darling, neither did they when they made you
