For Lidewij
[Verse 1]
There's a fire beneath your gentle words, a depth they'll never see
You carry oceans in your careful heart, wild and running free
Lidewij, they think they know your measured steps, your diplomatic smile
But underneath lives something fierce, been burning all the while

[Pre-Chorus]
You've built walls around your worth, afraid it won't be seen
Every detail perfectly arranged, but restless in between

[Chorus]
You don't need to be perfect, just present and true
The universe has mapped your path, and it leads back to you
There's a compass pointing home inside your beating heart
You are guided, you are held, you are enough to start

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient and wide, like rivers carved in stone
Your loyalty runs deeper than the places you've outgrown
The way you see what others miss, the truth behind their eyes
Makes you a healer in disguise — Lidewij, beneath October skies

[Pre-Chorus]
You feel the weight of everyone, their secrets and their pain
But your heart's a sacred sanctuary where broken souls find rain

[Chorus]
You don't need to be perfect, just present and true
The universe has mapped your path, and it leads back to you
There's a compass pointing home inside your beating heart
You are guided, you are held, you are enough to start

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves like a careful dance between the dark and light
You question everything you know, then trust your inner sight
The world needs what you carry deep, that wisdom wrapped in grace
The way you make the complicated simple in this place

[Pre-Chorus]
You've learned that freedom isn't found in running from the storm
But in accepting all you are, imperfect and transformed

[Chorus]
You don't need to be perfect, just present and true
The universe has mapped your path, and it leads back to you
There's a compass pointing home inside your beating heart
You are guided, you are held, you are enough to start

[Verse 4]
Behind your organized exterior lives a dreamer and a seer
You're learning that your sensitivity is power, crystal clear
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades
Lidewij — a bridge between the worlds unseen, where healing light pervades

[Pre-Chorus]
You're meant to shine your quiet strength, to serve without a crown
The way you lift the fallen up while keeping yourself grounded

[Chorus]
You don't need to be perfect, just present and true
The universe has mapped your path, and it leads back to you
There's a compass pointing home inside your beating heart
You are guided, you are held, you are enough to start

[Bridge]
Every scar became a story, every wound became a gift
The intensity you've carried is the way your soul can lift
Others from their darkest moments into something pure and bright
You're a lantern in the darkness, you're a keeper of the light

[Outro]
So trust the way you're wired, trust the rhythm of your soul
You were made for this moment, you were born to make things whole
The world is waiting for your magic, for the love you have to give
Lidewij — you are perfect as you are right now, this is how you live
