[Verse 1]
There's a current underneath the still, a tide nobody sees
A mind that moves like water finding truth beneath the freeze
You feel the room before you enter, carry what they cannot name
You've given more than asked of you and rarely staked your claim
The world has seen your steady hands, but not the weight they've known
A dreamer with a backbone made of everything you've grown

[PreChorus]
You've learned to hold it all together, hold it close, hold it tight
But even rivers need an ocean — you deserve that kind of wide

[Chorus]
Lynne, you were written in the deep and the tide
A fire in the current, both the shore and the guide
Every season you have carried was already in the plan
Lynne, you are more than all the ways you've had to stand

[Verse 2]
You love like someone throwing open every door and every gate
First to feel it, first to offer, rarely first to let them wait
But love has cost you something quiet — trust that bent but didn't break
And every wall you built in silence was a boundary, not a mistake
You've been the pillar in the houses where the ceilings used to fall
Still that fire in you believes — you'd believe in love through all

[PreChorus]
The tension between freedom and the need to hold the line
Has been the forge that shaped you — not a flaw but by design

[Chorus]
Lynne, you were written in the deep and the tide
A fire in the current, both the shore and the guide
Every season you have carried was already in the plan
Lynne, you are more than all the ways you've had to stand

[Verse 3]
There is a knowing in you older than the questions that you ask
A voice that speaks in images when logic drops its mask
You've spent your whole life being useful, measuring your worth
In what you built and what you gave and what you proved your work
But the stars that mapped your path out did not need you to be more
They wrote your name in mercy — you were whole before the score

[PreChorus]
The world needs what you carry — not the proof, not the weight
Just the soul that you've already been since long before today

[Chorus]
Lynne, you were written in the deep and the tide
A fire in the current, both the shore and the guide
Every season you have carried was already in the plan
Lynne, you are more than all the ways you've had to stand

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the quiet or explain the way you feel
The ocean doesn't justify the reasons it is real
Everything you are — the dream, the depth, the drive — is true
The cosmos built a rare thing when the cosmos built you

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you were never not enough
Lynne, you are the gentle and the endlessly beloved
