[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you chase the far horizon line
A hunger for the truth that most would rather leave behind
You speak before you soften it and mean every word you say
Some call it too much honesty, you call it the only way
You carry something ancient in the marrow of your bones
A whole tide full of feeling that you've mostly kept alone
They see the open laughter and the warmth you freely give
They don't see the undertow, the depths in which you live

[PreChorus]
But there's an ocean underneath the surface of your smile
You've been tending everyone else's fire for a while
The world you've built around you holds the marks of everything you've known
And the bravest thing you ever did was learning you're enough on your own

[Chorus]
Brenni, you were written by the stars and the tide
With a compass in your chest and a whole world inside
You've loved through the dark and you've carried the weight
And every road you walked on was never a mistake
Brenni, let the light find the cracks where you've been worn
You were not made in spite of the storms, you were born from every one

[Verse 2]
You love like something buried deep beneath the ocean floor
Like a vow that doesn't waver even when it costs you more
You won't give a single piece of you to someone passing through
It's all or nothing with a heart like yours and most can't handle you
You've felt the pull of harmony and bent yourself to keep the peace
You've shaped your edges to fit others while your own sharp truth decreased
But somewhere in the quiet you remember who you are
A mind that breaks the framework and a soul that maps the stars

[PreChorus]
There's a restlessness inside you that was never meant to still
It's not a flaw that needs fixing, it's the engine of your will
You've carried all the burdens of the ones you hold so dear
But even the most giving tide must find its way back here

[Chorus]
Brenni, you were written by the stars and the tide
With a compass in your chest and a whole world inside
You've loved through the dark and you've carried the weight
And every road you walked on was never a mistake
Brenni, let the light find the cracks where you've been worn
You were not made in spite of the storms, you were born from every one

[Verse 3]
There's a healer in you hiding beneath the noise of doubt
A quiet revolutionary working from the inside out
You see the broken systems and you feel them in your spine
You want to mend the world at large and then forget to mind
The wounds you carry quietly, the ones you don't discuss
The kind that made you careful and the kind that made you trust
That every scar becomes a doorway and every grief a seed
And the life you've grown from hardship is precisely what you need

[PreChorus]
You've stood between the freedom and the weight of standing still
Pulled between the dreamer and the one who climbs the hill
But both of them are you, and both of them are right
And the tension between them is the source of all your light

[Chorus]
Brenni, you were written by the stars and the tide
With a compass in your chest and a whole world inside
You've loved through the dark and you've carried the weight
And every road you walked on was never a mistake
Brenni, let the light find the cracks where you've been worn
You were not made in spite of the storms, you were born from every one

[Verse 4]
There's a Sagittarius soul inside you reaching for the wide
And a Cancer moon that pulls you back to shelter and to tide
One half needs the open road, the other needs a home
And you've been walking both of those paths mostly on your own
But this is not a contradiction, it's the shape of who you are
A wanderer who builds a hearth beneath a traveling star
You are precise and you are boundless, you are tender and you're brave
You are everything the universe was careful enough to save

[PreChorus]
So stop apologizing for the size of what you feel
Stop shrinking down the parts of you that are the most real
You were not built to disappear or fold yourself in two
The whole of this was always meant to just belong to you

[Chorus]
Brenni, you were written
