[Verse 1]
There's a steady fire burning deep inside your core
Like the earth that holds the mountains, you endure and so much more
They see the calm exterior, the grace you show each day
But they don't know the lightning storm that takes your breath away

[PreChorus]
You're the anchor and the sail
The whisper and the gale

[Chorus]
Dorothea, you're the contradiction that makes perfect sense
A gentle force that moves the world with quiet confidence
Dorothea, you hold the secrets that your heart has learned
Every tender truth, every bridge you've burned

[Verse 2]
You love like rushing water, fierce and pure and true
Diving headfirst into feelings, painting everything brand new
But when the world gets heavy and you need a place to hide
You retreat into the silence where your dreams and fears collide

[PreChorus]
You're the question and the cure
The fragile and the sure

[Chorus]
Dorothea, you're the contradiction that makes perfect sense
A gentle force that moves the world with quiet confidence
Dorothea, you hold the secrets that your heart has learned
Every tender truth, every bridge you've burned

[Verse 3]
You build your home with careful hands, protecting what you treasure
Fighting for the ones you love beyond any earthly measure
Your intuition cuts through lies like moonlight through the dark
You sense the pain that others hide, you heal what others mark

[PreChorus]
You're the shelter and the storm
The broken and reborn

[Chorus]
Dorothea, you're the contradiction that makes perfect sense
A gentle force that moves the world with quiet confidence
Dorothea, you hold the secrets that your heart has learned
Every tender truth, every bridge you've burned

[Verse 4]
The universe conspired to make you exactly as you are
A soul that craves both freedom and a place to rest your scars
You don't need to prove your worth through endless sacrifice
Your presence is the gift, your being the device

[Bridge]
Let the tides of change keep coming, let the seasons have their way
You're not meant to stay the same, you're meant to grow each day
The cosmos wrote your story with intention and with care
You are held, you are guided, you are loved beyond compare

[Outro]
There's a steady fire burning, it will never burn away
You're enough exactly as you are, you're enough today
