[Verse 1]
She carries whole horizons somewhere under her skin,
A mind that reads the room before the words begin,
The warmth she gives the world is drawn from older roots,
From everything she's tended, every truth she's pursued,
They see the open smile, they miss the undertow,
The depth behind the laughter that she doesn't always show

[PreChorus]
She's built from ancient questions and a restless, searching flame,
And everything she's weathered only sharpened what she became

[Chorus]
Fly, Catherine, you were written in the long way round,
Every road that broke you is the road where you were found,
The cosmos drew you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
You are held, you are whole, you were perfectly made

[Verse 2]
She loves like something patient that was carved from stone and trust,
Not quick to open wide the door, but loyal when she does,
She weighs the world before she moves, and that's not hesitation,
That's a heart that understands the weight of every obligation,
She's felt the pull of giving till there's nothing left to spare,
A quiet kind of courage in the way she's always there

[PreChorus]
She's mapped the space between her dreams and all she dared to need,
And every scar she carries is a testament to how she leads

[Chorus]
Fly, Catherine, you were written in the long way round,
Every road that broke you is the road where you were found,
The cosmos drew you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
You are held, you are whole, you were perfectly made

[Verse 3]
There's a philosopher behind the eyes that hold the line,
A mind that peels back surfaces to find what's more refined,
She's asked the kind of questions that don't come with clean replies,
And stood inside the silence of the spaces in between,
Not lost — just listening harder than most people ever do,
Building something timeless from the fire she's been put through

[PreChorus]
She's learned that truth is earned in ways that comfort never taught,
And wisdom isn't given — it's the thing that must be sought

[Chorus]
Fly, Catherine, you were written in the long way round,
Every road that broke you is the road where you were found,
The cosmos drew you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
You are held, you are whole, you were perfectly made

[Verse 4]
The world she carries inward is as wide as any sky,
A Leo rising burning with a grace she can't deny,
Her Aquarius moon runs cool beneath the surface heat,
The Sagittarius soul that keeps the searching incomplete,
She doesn't need permission for the person that she is,
She was never meant to shrink — every star confirms this

[PreChorus]
The universe didn't make a draft, it made the finished thing,
She just has to let herself believe in what she carries within

[Chorus]
Fly, Catherine, you were written in the long way round,
Every road that broke you is the road where you were found,
The cosmos drew you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
You are held, you are whole, you were perfectly made

[Bridge]
She doesn't have to earn the light she's always been,
She doesn't have to fix herself to finally be seen,
The compass always pointed home, it never led astray,
She was already everything she's trying to become today

[Outro]
So rest inside the truth of all you've carried and you've known,
Catherine, every single star was placed to lead you home
