[Verse 1]
There's a fire in you that nobody sees burning low,
A quiet kind of power in the way you steal the show,
You carry all that warmth behind a measured, careful face,
A lion learning stillness, holding sunlight in its place,
You've mapped yourself in secret, every corner, every seam,
And the world has only ever glimpsed the edges of your dream

[PreChorus]
You've held the weight of everything and called it being fine,
But every crack you've carried has become a golden line

[Chorus]
Kerry, you were written by the light and by the storm,
You are rooted deep as winter, you are steady and you're warm,
Every part of you is needed, every shadow, every flame,
Kerry, you are not too much — and you were never too small to claim

[Verse 2]
You feel things in the marrow, in the hush before the tide,
You've loved like something ancient that you weren't supposed to hide,
You give before you're asked to, and you mend before you break,
You've worn the face of balance for the other people's sake,
But underneath the harmony, the current always knows,
That the deepest kind of beauty is the one that no one shows

[PreChorus]
You've questioned every corner of the meaning and the why,
But the restlessness inside you is a compass, not a cry

[Chorus]
Kerry, you were written by the light and by the storm,
You are rooted deep as winter, you are steady and you're warm,
Every part of you is needed, every shadow, every flame,
Kerry, you are not too much — and you were never too small to claim

[Verse 3]
The mind in you moves quietly, like water over stone,
It finds the truth in symbols when the surface leaves you alone,
You've built yourself on beauty, and on justice, and on grace,
A rare and careful architecture only time could ever trace,
The path ahead was written in a language older still,
And everything you've carried was preparing you until

[PreChorus]
The version of yourself you've kept protected comes to light,
She was always worth the softness, always worth the fight

[Chorus]
Kerry, you were written by the light and by the storm,
You are rooted deep as winter, you are steady and you're warm,
Every part of you is needed, every shadow, every flame,
Kerry, you are not too much — and you were never too small to claim

[Bridge]
The cosmos did not make you to be understood by all,
It made you deep enough to rise each time you felt the fall,
You don't have to prove the fire — it was always burning true,
The world needs what you carry, and that world begins with you

[Outro]
So rest inside your wholeness, let the old proving go,
You are held by something older than the things you'll never know,
Kerry, you are enough — you always, always were,
And the light was never lost in you — it only went to grow
