[Verse 1]
Still waters run where no one thinks to look,
A quiet depth that can't be read like a book,
You hold the room without raising your voice,
Steady as stone but burning with choice,
They see the calm, they never see the tide,
All those wild currents you carry inside,

[PreChorus]
You were built from the earth and the open air,
A mind like lightning, a heart that dares,

[Chorus]
This is for you, Michele, every part that they've missed,
Every wound that you turned into something like this,
You are the fire and the ground underneath,
The sky that keeps giving while learning to breathe,

[Verse 2]
You love like a conversation that never quite ends,
You give your whole self to your lovers and friends,
But you've stood at the door of your own heart too long,
Afraid that your need would be read as your wrong,
The walls you constructed were never your flaw,
They were proof of how deeply you'd felt it all,

[PreChorus]
You were made for connection, for meaning, for more,
There's a whole undiscovered horizon in store,

[Chorus]
This is for you, Michele, every part that they've missed,
Every wound that you turned into something like this,
You are the fire and the ground underneath,
The sky that keeps giving while learning to breathe,

[Verse 3]
You've wrestled with questions that don't have clean ends,
You've searched for the truth in the breaking and bends,
The world handed systems and you handed them back,
You were always rewriting the map off the track,
And every reinvention was never a loss,
It was you learning slowly the weight of your worth,

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote you carefully in ink that won't fade,
You were never a mistake that needed to be remade,

[Chorus]
This is for you, Michele, every part that they've missed,
Every wound that you turned into something like this,
You are the fire and the ground underneath,
The sky that keeps giving while learning to breathe,

[Bridge]
You don't need to shrink to be safe in this world,
Your life is the gift and the story's not told,
Let the light you've been carrying finally land,
You were whole all along, you just needed a hand,

[Outro]
The stars don't make mistakes when they write someone new,
Michele, the universe meant every inch of you,
You are guided, you are held, you are enough,
You always were,
