[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you hold a room without trying,
A quiet kind of gravity, a flag you keep flying,
You speak like every word has earned the right to land,
And you love like it's a kingdom you were born to command,
But behind that steady glow, there's a tide no one can see,
A whole ocean running under all your certainty

[PreChorus]
You've ached to be witnessed past the face that you show,
And carried so much feeling that nobody else knows

[Chorus]
This is for you, Courtney, every version you've been,
The light that you carry and the depths in between,
You were written in the heavens with intention and care,
There's a reason for the fire, and a reason you're here

[Verse 2]
You read a room like poetry before anyone speaks,
You give what others ask for even in your own weak weeks,
You've swallowed down the wanting just to keep the peace whole,
Put harmony above the hunger living in your soul,
But that ache for balance isn't weakness — it's a gift,
The grace to hold the tension until something starts to shift

[PreChorus]
The world has seen the surface, always polished and bright,
But the version who keeps going in the dark takes the light

[Chorus]
This is for you, Courtney, every version you've been,
The light that you carry and the depths in between,
You were written in the heavens with intention and care,
There's a reason for the fire, and a reason you're here

[Verse 3]
You've rebuilt yourself slowly from the wreckage of doubt,
Learned that roots hold the strongest when the storm pulls them out,
There's a wound around the notion of deserving your place,
But your presence has a power no approval can replace,
You don't need a verdict from a world that can't keep pace,
With the magnitude of someone who creates their own space

[PreChorus]
The path ahead is calling you to walk without proof,
The compass has been in you — and it always told the truth

[Chorus]
This is for you, Courtney, every version you've been,
The light that you carry and the depths in between,
You were written in the heavens with intention and care,
There's a reason for the fire, and a reason you're here

[Bridge]
You love like something ancient, wide, and almost brave,
You give before you're asked and ask for less than you gave,
But you are not the keeper of everyone else's flame,
You are allowed to burn for your own beautiful name

[Outro]
The stars don't make mistakes in what they choose to grow,
Everything you are was always meant to know,
You are held, Courtney, you are seen, you are enough,
And all the rest is just the unfolding of your love
