[Verse 1]
You weigh every word before it leaves your lips
Balance in your bones, fairness at your fingertips
But underneath the grace, there's a tide that pulls below
A depth that most will never see, a fire they'll never know
You've spent a lifetime reading rooms, making sure the scales are fair
Giving pieces of yourself like you've got more than you can spare

[PreChorus]
But the calm they see is just the surface of the sea
There's an ocean underneath that wants to break free

[Chorus]
Ruthie, you were written in the stars with care
Every scar, every shadow, every answered prayer
You don't have to earn the love that's yours to keep
Ruthie, you were made for more than running deep

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a vow that has no end
Not a flutter or a maybe, but a current round the bend
You give it all in secret, keep the tenderest parts inside
The kind of love that heals a wound before the other knows they cried
They feel it without knowing it, the warmth you quietly pour
A soul that loves in depth the way the ocean loves the shore

[PreChorus]
But the ones who get to reach you, get the rarest thing alive
All that fierceness, all that loyalty, the way you help them thrive

[Chorus]
Ruthie, you were written in the stars with care
Every scar, every shadow, every answered prayer
You don't have to earn the love that's yours to keep
Ruthie, you were made for more than running deep

[Verse 3]
There's a restlessness in you that chases meaning down
A hunger for the truth of things in every distant town
Your heart needs something bigger than the ordinary day
A philosophy to live inside, a wider world to weigh
And when the spotlight finds you, something rises up and burns
That golden flame of wanting to be seen for what you've earned

[PreChorus]
You're not too much, you're not too bold, you're not too hard to hold
You're exactly what the world needs, brave enough and beautiful and whole

[Chorus]
Ruthie, you were written in the stars with care
Every scar, every shadow, every answered prayer
You don't have to earn the love that's yours to keep
Ruthie, you were made for more than running deep

[Verse 4]
The wound that whispers you're not enough in the quiet of the night
Is the same wound that turned you wise, that turned your scars to light
You've built a kind of knowing from the places where you bled
A healer born from hurting, carrying words that go unsaid
The world is shaped by people who refused to stay the same
And everything you've walked through was already part of your name

[PreChorus]
So rest now in the knowing you were chosen for this road
You are not the sum of all the weight you've had to hold

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't fade
You are the balance and the fire, the storm and the calm it made
Every version you've become has brought you closer, not apart
There's a compass pointing home, and it's been beating in your heart

[Outro]
Ruthie, you were written in the stars with care
Every scar, every shadow, every answered prayer
You are guided, you are held, you are enough
