[Verse 1]
She builds her life like stone on stone, each layer set with care,
A steady hand, a measured mind, precision in her stare,
They see the calm, the competence, the one who holds the line,
But underneath that mountain face runs water, deep and wild and fine,
She carries worlds inside her chest that no one gets to see,
A fire burning quietly behind a still and studied peace,
She's been the one who shows up first and always sees it through,
But the version that she hides at night is just as strong and true

[PreChorus]
She's been holding up the ceiling for so long she's lost the floor,
She gives her best to everything and wonders what she's for

[Chorus]
But Susan, you were written by the oldest hands there are,
Every contradiction in you is a perfectly placed star,
The mountain and the wildfire, the silence and the call,
You were never meant to choose between them, you were meant to hold them all,
Susan, you are not too much, you were never less than whole,
The universe built carefully when it was building you

[Verse 2]
There's a restlessness that lives in her that won't sit still for long,
A current underneath the ice that moves before the song,
She weighs every consequence before she takes a step,
But inside something older moves on instinct and on breath,
She's loved in ways that freed the ones she gave her heart to keep,
She asked for nothing ordinary, nothing halfway, nothing cheap,
She wanted someone who could see the vision and the plan,
A mind that matched her own strange light, a steady, open hand

[PreChorus]
She's chased connection through the fog and reached through walls of glass,
And wondered why the things she built were still too hard to grasp

[Chorus]
But Susan, you were written by the oldest hands there are,
Every contradiction in you is a perfectly placed star,
The mountain and the wildfire, the silence and the call,
You were never meant to choose between them, you were meant to hold them all,
Susan, you are not too much, you were never less than whole,
The universe built carefully when it was building you

[Verse 3]
She absorbs the weight of rooms before she's crossed the door,
She knows what people carry just by watching what they ignore,
She's healed a hundred quiet wounds that no one knew she'd seen,
And carried all the leftover grief from places she had been,
There's an ancient kind of wisdom buried somewhere in her chest,
That came not from an easy road but from refusing to give rest,
She thought the ache of not belonging meant that something was amiss,
But the ones who feel the edges most are built to bridge the abyss

[PreChorus]
She's been asking all her life if there is somewhere she belongs,
Not knowing that the asking was the home inside the song

[Chorus]
But Susan, you were written by the oldest hands there are,
Every contradiction in you is a perfectly placed star,
The mountain and the wildfire, the silence and the call,
You were never meant to choose between them, you were meant to hold them all,
Susan, you are not too much, you were never less than whole,
The universe built carefully when it was building you

[Verse 4]
She doesn't have to earn the right to take up all her space,
She doesn't have to finish every storm before she rests her face,
The drive that made her climb so high was never fear of falling,
It was something deeper, older, truer, something always calling,
Her purpose isn't one grand moment etched in gold and stone,
It's every time she showed up real and let herself be known,
The world is shaped by what she holds, the vision and the care,
The steady way she walks through fire like she's always known it's there

[PreChorus]
She's stood at every crossroads with the weight of what could be,
And every time she chose herself, the path began to breathe

[Chorus]
But Susan, you were written by the oldest hands there are,
Every contradiction in you is a perfectly placed star,
The mountain and the wildfire, the silence and the call,
You were never meant to choose between them, you were meant to hold them all,
Susan, you are not too much, you were never less than whole,
The universe built carefully when it was
