[Verse 1]
You think in layers where others see the surface shine
There's a fire in your words that cuts through every line
They see the smile but miss the ocean underneath
You've learned to hold your truth like secrets wrapped in sheets

[PreChorus]
Behind those eyes there's lightning and there's rain
A mind that sees what others can't explain

[Chorus]
Astrid, you're the calm before the storm arrives
Astrid, all that depth you carry keeps you so alive
You don't need to prove your worth to anyone at all
Astrid, you were built to rise each time you fall

[Verse 2]
Your heart speaks different languages depending on the day
You love like something wild that can't be kept in cage
There's restlessness that lives where others find their peace
But that's the very thing that sets your spirit free

[PreChorus]
You've built your walls around what matters most
But love still finds you like a faithful ghost

[Chorus]
Astrid, you're the calm before the storm arrives
Astrid, all that depth you carry keeps you so alive
You don't need to prove your worth to anyone at all
Astrid, you were built to rise each time you fall

[Verse 3]
Sometimes you wonder if your voice is strong enough
If all your gentle power counts as being tough
But strength isn't always loud or sharp or bright
Sometimes it's holding space in the middle of the night

[PreChorus]
Every doubt you've carried was a teacher in disguise
Every question led you closer to your prize

[Chorus]
Astrid, you're the calm before the storm arrives
Astrid, all that depth you carry keeps you so alive
You don't need to prove your worth to anyone at all
Astrid, you were built to rise each time you fall

[Verse 4]
The universe has written you in languages of change
Your path was never meant to look like theirs or stay the same
You're learning how to trust the current that you are
A river that runs deeper than the brightest star

[Bridge]
All those contradictions that live inside your chest
They're not flaws to fix, they're how you love the best
You're allowed to be both mystery and light
You're allowed to change your mind and still be right

[Outro]
The world needs what you carry in your bones
You're exactly where you're meant to be, you're home
