[Verse 1]
There's a fire that burns bright inside you, Laurie
A golden flame that lights the room
But underneath that regal presence, something deeper moves
The world sees strength, misses the tender truth
You carry mysteries in your pockets, secrets in your smile
The way you love cuts straight through to the bone

[Chorus]
Oh Laurie, you're a lion with a heart of gold
Burning bright but the story's never fully told
You give yourself away piece by piece
But you were born to rule your own release

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like quicksilver, catching light
Words spill out like poetry in motion
But sometimes the weight of all that thinking
Leaves you drowning in your own devotion
You see the flaws that others never notice
Perfect love through imperfect eyes

[Chorus]
Oh Laurie, you're a lion with a heart of gold
Burning bright but the story's never fully told
You give yourself away piece by piece
But you were born to rule your own release

[Verse 3]
You wrestle with the shadows and the brightness
Dancing between what's real and what could be
That ancient wisdom living in your bones knows
Some battles must be fought internally
Your compassion runs deeper than the ocean
While your spirit craves to be set free

[Chorus]
Oh Laurie, you're a lion with a heart of gold
Burning bright but the story's never fully told
You give yourself away piece by piece
But you were born to rule your own release

[Verse 4]
The universe conspired to make you, Laurie
Part wildfire, part steady mountain stone
You transform everything you touch with purpose
But forget you're magic on your own
Trust the voice that whispers in the darkness
You are everything you need to be

[Chorus]
Oh Laurie, you're a lion with a heart of gold
Burning bright but the story's never fully told
You give yourself away piece by piece
But you were born to rule your own release

[Bridge]
Stop carrying the weight of everyone's tomorrow
Your worth isn't measured by how much you give
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with intention
You're allowed to simply live

[Outro]
There's a fire that burns bright inside you, Laurie
Let it warm you first before the world
