[Verse 1]
There's a fire in her bones and a tide in her chest,
A war between the blazing and the longing for rest,
She moves before the world can name what she's begun,
A force that burns like midnight meeting the sun,
They see the surface, calm and collected and bright,
They don't see the ocean she's been holding all night,

[PreChorus]
She carries what she cannot say,
A depth the shallow never weigh,

[Chorus]
This is for Katy, the still and the storm,
The one who makes a sanctuary wherever she's born,
Katy, you're the fracture and the light breaking through,
The cosmos wrote the universe, then carefully wrote you,

[Verse 2]
She speaks in imagery, in feeling, in tone,
Her mind arrives at truth by wandering alone,
There's a hunger for the sacred and a search for the real,
A philosopher who leads with every nerve she can feel,
She's rebuilding what was broken with her bare bleeding hands,
Erecting something holy on the fault lines where she stands,

[PreChorus]
She's not too much, she's not too raw,
She's every answer wrapped inside the flaw,

[Chorus]
This is for Katy, the still and the storm,
The one who makes a sanctuary wherever she's born,
Katy, you're the fracture and the light breaking through,
The cosmos wrote the universe, then carefully wrote you,

[Verse 3]
She loves like something ancient and immeasurably wide,
Like a river finding ocean, like a turning of the tide,
She gives before she's asked and feels before she knows,
She's the one who tends the garden long before it grows,
But beneath the grace she offers, there's a wound she rarely names,
The fear that she won't matter unless someone else claims,

[PreChorus]
But worthiness was never yours to earn,
It was written in your marrow, born to burn,

[Chorus]
This is for Katy, the still and the storm,
The one who makes a sanctuary wherever she's born,
Katy, you're the fracture and the light breaking through,
The cosmos wrote the universe, then carefully wrote you,

[Verse 4]
She's unconventional and restless in the quietest of rooms,
She reads the hidden ache in everyone she meets too soon,
Her scars became a compass pointing somewhere she belongs,
Her shadow is the undercurrent underneath her songs,
There's a stage she hasn't stepped on but the spotlight knows her name,
And the world needs what she carries like a candle needs a flame,

[PreChorus]
She is rooted and she is free,
She is everything she's learning how to be,

[Chorus]
This is for Katy, the still and the storm,
The one who makes a sanctuary wherever she's born,
Katy, you're the fracture and the light breaking through,
The cosmos wrote the universe, then carefully wrote you,

[Bridge]
Stop explaining what you are to those who cannot see,
The depth you call a burden is your greatest currency,
You are held inside the turning of a world that knows your name,
You were never incomplete, you were always whole, not tame,

[Outro]
The tide goes out, the tide comes back, and so do you,
Katy, every scar and star inside you is true,
You were written by a careful hand before the world was new,
You are enough, you always were, and that was always you,
