[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside you no one gets to see,
A current running deeper than your calm lets on to be,
You hold the room together while you quietly come apart,
A mind that moves like lightning with an ocean for a heart,
You've mapped the needs of everyone before they speak a word,
And carried what you've needed most without a sound being heard

[PreChorus]
But the weight you wear like armor is the proof of what you've earned,
Every fire you've walked through left a lantern where it burned

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the shore and the stone,
Katie, you were never as alone as you've known,
The sky wrote your name in a language of light,
You are whole, you are real, you are worth every night

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, wide, and hard to name,
Grand in every gesture, but you hide the tender flame,
You've kept your deepest longing in a room with no front door,
Giving love in volumes while you quietly beg for more,
And when the world goes still enough, you feel it — something vast,
A thread connecting everything, the future to the past

[PreChorus]
That restlessness you carry is a compass, not a wound,
You were always finding something that the ordinary pruned

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the shore and the stone,
Katie, you were never as alone as you've known,
The sky wrote your name in a language of light,
You are whole, you are real, you are worth every night

[Verse 3]
You've questioned every system and the truth inside each wall,
Built something from the rubble every time you took a fall,
Your roots go deeper, darker than the places that you show,
There's an ancestor in your bones who already seemed to know,
That the worth you've worked so hard to prove was never up for trade,
You were enough before the effort, long before the grades

[PreChorus]
The world you're building inward is the one that will remain,
Every quiet revolution runs right through your veins

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the shore and the stone,
Katie, you were never as alone as you've known,
The sky wrote your name in a language of light,
You are whole, you are real, you are worth every night

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
You don't have to be unbreakable to be complete,
The cosmos drew your outline with intention and with care,
Every contradiction in you placed exactly there

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you were made for this,
Katie, everything you are is enough as it is
