[Verse 1]
She holds the world together with her quiet steady hands,
Roots running deep as rivers through the salt and shifting sands,
They see the calm, they never see the tide she carries in,
The way she tends to everyone but keeps the hurt within,
A mind that moves like water, slow and certain, clear and true,
She knows the worth of beautiful and everything she'll do,

[PreChorus]
But the weight of always holding still
is heavier than anyone can feel

[Chorus]
Oh Katie, you're the earth and you're the sea,
Every wall you built was just a part of you becoming free,
The moon wrote you in silver, the stars spelled out your name,
You were never too much, you were never to blame

[Verse 2]
She loves the way that language dances light across a room,
A conversation blooming like a flower in the gloom,
She gives before she's asked to, reads the feeling in the air,
The kind of love that lingers long and doesn't need to stare,
But somewhere in the middle she forgets to ask for more,
Keeps answering every knock without a lock upon her door,

[PreChorus]
The ones who pour for everyone
still need someone to fill their cup when it's done

[Chorus]
Oh Katie, you're the earth and you're the sea,
Every wall you built was just a part of you becoming free,
The moon wrote you in silver, the stars spelled out your name,
You were never too much, you were never to blame

[Verse 3]
There's a fire that moves behind the scenes and rarely shows its face,
A quiet kind of courage taking action in its grace,
She's rebuilt what was broken with a hammer made of trust,
Turned the ache of feeling homeless into something more than dust,
The stories she's been carrying are heavier than stone,
But every crack inside her is a place where light has grown,

[PreChorus]
What she calls a wound the world calls a well,
Deeper than she knows, and more than words can tell

[Chorus]
Oh Katie, you're the earth and you're the sea,
Every wall you built was just a part of you becoming free,
The moon wrote you in silver, the stars spelled out your name,
You were never too much, you were never to blame

[Verse 4]
She's drawn to what the others leave unturned and left to hide,
The kind of soul who walks the edge and lights the darker side,
A dreamer who builds bridges between heaven and the ground,
A healer who keeps searching for the self she's never found,
But she was always whole beneath the searching and the sea,
Written in the cosmos long before she learned to be

[PreChorus]
The universe has known her since before she had a name,
And everything she is was never something she should change

[Chorus]
Oh Katie, you're the earth and you're the sea,
Every wall you built was just a part of you becoming free,
The moon wrote you in silver, the stars spelled out your name,
You were never too much, you were never to blame

[Bridge]
Let the tide come in, let the roots hold fast,
Everything she's carried was built to last,
She is the anchor and she is the wave,
Enough exactly as she is today

[Outro]
The cosmos wrote her carefully with ink that never fades,
She is guided, she is held, she is enough always,
Oh Katie, you were always, always home
