[Verse 1]
There's a mind that moves like wind through open doors,
Always hungry for what hides behind the world's floors,
A thousand thoughts at once, and every one is real,
The brightest laugh in the room concealing what you feel,
You've learned to hold the tide beneath a steady face,
While carrying whole oceans in the smallest space

[PreChorus]
But the depth you hide is not a flaw to fix or fight,
It's the very thing that turns your darkness into light

[Chorus]
Kari, you were written in the spaces between,
The most alive when no one knows just what you mean,
You love like something ancient, steady, patient, and true,
The cosmos had a purpose when it dreamed up you

[Verse 2]
You give before you're asked, you stay when others leave,
You build a home inside your heart for those who need to breathe,
But somewhere in the giving, you forget the bill,
You pour into the world and leave your own cup still,
The weight of other people's storms has shaped your bones,
And you have held so many while you carried yours alone

[PreChorus]
But every scar has made you someone no one else can be,
And all that you have carried is the proof of your degree

[Chorus]
Kari, you were written in the spaces between,
The most alive when no one knows just what you mean,
You love like something ancient, steady, patient, and true,
The cosmos had a purpose when it dreamed up you

[Verse 3]
You've walked through fire and come back speaking poetry,
You've questioned every wall you built and what it cost to be free,
There's a restless, searching hunger that refuses to go quiet,
And a stillness just beneath it like the calm before a riot,
You don't need to earn your place or prove your worth again,
The world was always better every time you let yourself in

[PreChorus]
So lay the armor down tonight, you've more than paid the price,
What you call ordinary grace, we call a paradise

[Chorus]
Kari, you were written in the spaces between,
The most alive when no one knows just what you mean,
You love like something ancient, steady, patient, and true,
The cosmos had a purpose when it dreamed up you

[Bridge]
The moon wrote your name in the tide on the day you were born,
Every part you think is broken is the gold inside the worn,
You don't have to be more than exactly what you are,
The sky has always known you — you were always the star

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing you were never out of place,
Kari, every piece of you was always meant to take up space,
The stars don't make mistakes, and neither did they when they made you,
You are held, you are enough, you are completely, beautifully true
