[Verse 1]
There's a mind that moves like wind through an open door,
Collecting every color, always hungry for more,
You talk with the warmth of something tidal and true,
The words you choose are careful, but they carry all of you,
You've read the room before you've entered, felt the shift in air,
You hold the weight of everyone and act like it's not there,
They see the brightness on the surface, all the charm and the light,
They don't see the quiet vigil you keep deep in the night

[PreChorus]
You've been the anchor and the tide,
The one who holds while something breaks inside,
But every current running underneath your calm
Has always been your gift, has always been your balm

[Chorus]
Brenda, you were written in the space between the stars,
The universe was careful when it mapped out who you are,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this room,
You were made from early morning light and the wisdom of the moon,
Brenda, let the world receive what you've been holding back so long,
You are not too much, not too little, you are whole, you are strong

[Verse 2]
There's a home inside your heart that you have tended like a flame,
Every root runs deep and quiet, every loss has left a name,
You carry what your people carried, all the stories and the stone,
You've made a sanctuary out of all you've ever known,
You love like something patient, like a garden slowly grown,
Presence over promises, a touch that says "you're home,"
You give before they ask you, you feel before they speak,
And you've called that a burden when it's always been your peak

[PreChorus]
You've been the anchor and the tide,
The one who holds while something breaks inside,
But every current running underneath your calm
Has always been your gift, has always been your balm

[Chorus]
Brenda, you were written in the space between the stars,
The universe was careful when it mapped out who you are,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this room,
You were made from early morning light and the wisdom of the moon,
Brenda, let the world receive what you've been holding back so long,
You are not too much, not too little, you are whole, you are strong

[Verse 3]
There's a fire in you that rises when the moment calls for truth,
A voice that cuts through surface noise, a boldness built in youth,
You've been restless in the places that have tried to keep you small,
You were never meant for corridors, you were meant for open halls,
The way you think is not like others, sideways, through and through,
You find the hidden door behind the wall that nobody knew,
You've mistaken your intensity for something you should hide,
But that burning careful brilliance is the brightest thing inside

[PreChorus]
You've been the anchor and the tide,
The one who holds while something breaks inside,
But every current running underneath your calm
Has always been your gift, has always been your balm

[Chorus]
Brenda, you were written in the space between the stars,
The universe was careful when it mapped out who you are,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this room,
You were made from early morning light and the wisdom of the moon,
Brenda, let the world receive what you've been holding back so long,
You are not too much, not too little, you are whole, you are strong

[Verse 4]
You've stood where you weren't seen and built your worth alone,
Redefined what recognition means and called that place your own,
There's a wound around the wanting, the need to be believed,
But everything you've built in quiet still exceeds what they perceived,
The world has been the better for the work you've done unseen,
For the healing in your presence, for the spaces kept so clean,
You don't need their eyes to count you, you were counted long before,
The cosmos wrote your name down at the center of its core

[PreChorus]
You've been the anchor and the tide,
The one who holds while something breaks inside,
But every current running underneath your calm
Has always been your gift, has always been your balm

[Chorus]
Brenda
