[Verse 1]
She notices the thing you left unspoken in a room,
The way a garden knows which way to lean toward the moon,
Her mind moves like a river over every stone,
She carries other people's weight and calls it her own,
There's a tide inside that runs beneath the calm,
A current no one sees but everyone feels the warm.

[PreChorus]
She's been holding up the sky so long she's forgot to breathe,
But every root she's set goes deeper than the eye can see.

[Chorus]
Here's to Kate, who mends the broken with her hands,
Who loves in quiet ways that no one understands,
Here's to Kate, made of patience, fire, and grace,
The whole universe conspired just to build this face.

[Verse 2]
She speaks before the world has finished forming words,
Her thoughts arrive like lightning and land sharp as birds,
The Gemini moon inside her never settles long,
She loops through every feeling like the bridge of a song,
Not restless — just alive in more directions than one,
She holds a dozen skies at once and watches every sun.

[PreChorus]
She's longed for something real beneath the surface of love,
A depth the shallow mirrors couldn't tell her enough.

[Chorus]
Here's to Kate, who mends the broken with her hands,
Who loves in quiet ways that no one understands,
Here's to Kate, made of patience, fire, and grace,
The whole universe conspired just to build this face.

[Verse 3]
She's gone through rooms on fire and come back holding light,
She knows the kind of dark that teaches you to find the night,
The inner critic sharpens every edge before she's done,
But that's just love in armor searching hard for the sun,
She doesn't need to fix herself to finally belong,
What she calls her fault lines — that's just where she's strong.

[PreChorus]
The world she's tried to carry was already in her hands,
She was the thing she spent her whole life trying to understand.

[Chorus]
Here's to Kate, who mends the broken with her hands,
Who loves in quiet ways that no one understands,
Here's to Kate, made of patience, fire, and grace,
The whole universe conspired just to build this face.

[Verse 4]
She was written in the early hours, before the city woke,
When the air still held its secrets and the dawn had not yet spoke,
Cancer rising like the tide that pulls the whole shore in,
Her home is something sacred she has always kept within,
And the star that lit her compass was the one she holds inside,
Not a direction outward — just the one she'd never hide.

[PreChorus]
She is not the sum of what she's lost along the way,
She is every step that rose again and chose to stay.

[Chorus]
Here's to Kate, who mends the broken with her hands,
Who loves in quiet ways that no one understands,
Here's to Kate, made of patience, fire, and grace,
The whole universe conspired just to build this face.

[Bridge]
Let her set down what she's carried without calling it a fall,
Let her know that being needed isn't being loved at all,
She was always more than useful, more than steady, more than true,
She was the whole damn answer to a question no one knew.

[Outro]
The stars don't write mistakes, they write in languages unseen,
And Kate was every word they meant, and everything between.
