[Verse 1]
There's a stillness at the surface, steady as the ground
But underneath the quiet, there's a world that won't be found
A mind that turns each stone before it lets an answer land
A heart that holds its own wounds with a careful, patient hand
You've carried more in silence than most could ever name
Not because you have to — that's just how you came

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide
All those fathoms running deep inside

[Chorus]
Elaine, you were written in fire and in earth
Every scar a testament to immeasurable worth
The cosmos pulled the thread of you with deliberate care
Elaine, there's a whole universe that's grateful you are there

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, all in from the start
No half-measures, no retreating — just the full force of your heart
You've rebuilt your faith in people more times than they could know
Resilient in the way you keep deciding still to go
You give before you're asked, you stay when others leave
The loyalty inside you is the hardest thing to see

[PreChorus]
They take the warmth and never think to look
At all the pages worn from your unspoken book

[Chorus]
Elaine, you were written in fire and in earth
Every scar a testament to immeasurable worth
The cosmos pulled the thread of you with deliberate care
Elaine, there's a whole universe that's grateful you are there

[Verse 3]
You've stood between the dreaming and the need to make it real
Built your life on what is solid while you learn what's safe to feel
There's a root in you that nothing — not the hardest year — could kill
Something that descends and rises, something turning, turning still
You don't need to earn the right to be exactly who you are
You were never just a footnote — you were always meant to lead from where you are

[PreChorus]
The world has seen your effort, your composed and graceful face
But grace was never all of you — it's just the outermost embrace

[Chorus]
Elaine, you were written in fire and in earth
Every scar a testament to immeasurable worth
The cosmos pulled the thread of you with deliberate care
Elaine, there's a whole universe that's grateful you are there

[Bridge]
You don't have to hold it all in perfect symmetry
The moon inside you rises whether anyone else can see
Stop proving what was never once in question from the start
You are rooted, you are whole — you are already enough at heart

[Outro]
The stars don't write their finest work in easy, borrowed light
They take their time with those who'll carry something true and bright
Elaine, you are the careful work of everything that lasts
The future always knew your name before it left the past
