[Verse 1]
There's a steadiness in you that most people miss,
A mountain-quiet patience underneath all of this,
You carry what's heavy like it's just part of the ground,
And you never let them see how much weight you've been found,
Your mind runs like a river with two currents at once,
Both laughing at the surface while the deep water hunts,
You've learned how to be cheerful when the serious takes hold,
And how to keep your warmth alive in weather that's cold

[PreChorus]
They see the composure, they don't see the tide,
All the worlds you've been building on the inside,
You've been both the mountain and the wind passing through,
And no one ever stops long enough to see you

[Chorus]
But I see you, Tammy, every layer and line,
The steady and the restless, the shadow and the shine,
You were written by the cosmos with extraordinary care,
Every contradiction in you is exactly why you're rare,
I see you, Tammy, and what I see is enough,
You are rooted and reaching, you are tender and tough

[Verse 2]
There's a door inside your chest that you keep mostly closed,
A room full of feeling that almost no one knows,
You love like something ancient, like a covenant made deep,
Not in the words you offer but the promises you keep,
You take your time to trust but when you do it's a vow,
You give without a fanfare, you just show up somehow,
There's a fire in how you feel things when the right one draws near,
But you've learned to bank the embers until the ground becomes clear

[PreChorus]
They see the graceful surface, they don't see the pull,
That hunger for connection that makes you feel full,
You've waited for a love that could hold what you hold,
Something real enough to touch you, something deep enough to know

[Chorus]
And I see you, Tammy, every layer and line,
The steady and the restless, the shadow and the shine,
You were written by the cosmos with extraordinary care,
Every contradiction in you is exactly why you're rare,
I see you, Tammy, and what I see is enough,
You are rooted and reaching, you are tender and tough

[Verse 3]
You've felt the weight of proving what you already are,
Like your worth was a verdict and your life was the bar,
You've worked in quiet places where no one kept the score,
Poured your best into others and then went back for more,
But the things you couldn't fix were never yours to carry,
The ones you couldn't reach were never yours to bury,
You've been a healer moving through the world without a name,
And the world kept on receiving without knowing whence you came

[PreChorus]
They see what you produce but not what it costs,
The dreams you held in silence or the ones you thought were lost,
But the path beneath your feet was never going wrong,
You were always moving forward, you were always growing strong

[Chorus]
So I see you, Tammy, every layer and line,
The steady and the restless, the shadow and the shine,
You were written by the cosmos with extraordinary care,
Every contradiction in you is exactly why you're rare,
I see you, Tammy, and what I see is enough,
You are rooted and reaching, you are tender and tough

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn your place in the quiet or the noise,
You don't have to shrink your spirit just to soften your voice,
The part of you that questions is the part of you that's wise,
And the depth that you've been hiding is the gift behind your eyes,
Let the anchor and the open sky both live inside your chest,
You were never meant to choose between them, you were made for both, and blessed

[Outro]
The universe wrote you slowly, with intention and with grace,
Every struggle was a map point, every scar was finding space,
You are held in something larger than the stories you've been told,
You were gold before you knew it, you were always, always whole
