[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you walk into a room,
Like the morning knows your name before it clears the gloom,
You carry something ancient in the way you hold your ground,
A quiet kind of gravity that turns the world around,
They see the warmth, they miss the weight you've worn since you were small,
The way you built yourself so tall from almost nothing at all

[PreChorus]
You've weighed every word before it leaves your tongue,
And carried more than anyone could know since you were young

[Chorus]
This is the light you were made of, Cathlyn,
Written in fire before the world began,
You are the proof that grace and steel can share the same hand,
Cathlyn, finally let yourself stand

[Verse 2]
There's a philosopher who lives behind your steady eyes,
Always chasing the horizon, always reading the skies,
Your heart moves like a story no one ever finishes,
Searching every chapter for the truth that glimmers in the midst,
And sometimes feeling is a river running faster than your mind,
But that current is a compass, not a current left behind

[PreChorus]
You've learned to guard the softest parts and call it being strong,
But the ones who truly know you know that's where you most belong

[Chorus]
This is the light you were made of, Cathlyn,
Written in fire before the world began,
You are the proof that grace and steel can share the same hand,
Cathlyn, finally let yourself stand

[Verse 3]
You love like someone building something meant to last forever,
With diplomacy for mortar and devotion for a tether,
You give before you're asked, and ache in places no one sees,
You've bent yourself toward balance like a willow in the breeze,
But bending isn't breaking, and your longing isn't lack,
The ones worth keeping, darling, they will always find their way back

[PreChorus]
There are unseen hands that hold you when the road gets hard to read,
And the kindness that you scatter quietly is coming back to seed

[Chorus]
This is the light you were made of, Cathlyn,
Written in fire before the world began,
You are the proof that grace and steel can share the same hand,
Cathlyn, finally let yourself stand

[Verse 4]
The wound around your worth has been a teacher, not a wall,
And every time you questioned it, you learned to stand more tall,
You've walked through transformations that would bring another down,
And every time you rose again, you claimed a little more of your own ground,
The cosmos didn't scatter you, it shaped you with intention,
You are someone this world needed long before you thought to mention

[PreChorus]
Your path is not behind you, it is opening right now,
The version of you coming doesn't need to beg or bow

[Bridge]
You don't have to prove the depth of what you carry,
You don't have to shrink so others feel less ordinary,
The light you've been withholding is the light the world needs most,
Let the fire in you lead, and not the ghost

[Outro]
The stars that wrote you, Cathlyn, wrote you well,
You are more than any story you've been told to tell,
You are whole, you are held, you are exactly enough,
You always were
