[Verse 1]
There's a fire in you that learned to hold its breath,
A quiet kind of glory underneath the rest,
You carry what you know like it cost you something dear,
A mind that maps the whole room before you appear,
You notice what goes unsaid, you feel what can't be named,
And still you show up generous, still you show up unashamed

[PreChorus 1]
They see the warmth, they don't see what it cost,
All those tides you swam through just to never seem lost

[Chorus 1]
The stars wrote you carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
Kendra, you were never meant to fit the molds they made,
You are rooted in the deep and reaching for the wide,
You are everything you've carried and the turning of the tide

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a hand-built, quiet home,
Like you'd rather give the shelter than admit you're cold and alone,
You've talked yourself out of needing what you needed most,
Convinced yourself that wanting it would cost you what you chose,
But the way you love is rare, it moves like water through stone,
And the depth you give to others — it was always yours to own

[PreChorus 2]
You've measured every feeling just to keep from taking space,
But the world needs all of you, not just the parts that feel safe

[Chorus 2]
The stars wrote you carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
Kendra, you were never meant to fit the molds they made,
You are rooted in the deep and reaching for the wide,
You are everything you've carried and the turning of the tide

[Verse 3]
There's a hunger in your mind that doesn't rest for long,
Always pulling at the threads to figure out where you belong,
You've held yourself to standards that would break a lesser will,
Mistook the ache of growing for a sign that something's ill,
But every question you've survived has sharpened who you are,
And every wound you've tended quietly has become a scar that stars

[PreChorus 3]
You don't need to earn the right to rest inside your own name,
You arrived here whole and worthy — you have always been the same

[Chorus 3]
The stars wrote you carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
Kendra, you were never meant to fit the molds they made,
You are rooted in the deep and reaching for the wide,
You are everything you've carried and the turning of the tide

[Verse 4]
Something in the cosmos placed a compass in your chest,
Pointing toward the truth of things, pointing past the test,
You were built to hold the vision when the vision blurs for all,
To stand inside the rubble and know what's worth the haul,
The world that you are growing toward is asking you to stay,
To trust the ground beneath you and to walk your own true way

[PreChorus 4]
There is no better version waiting past your doubt and your fear,
The one the stars intended — she is already here

[Chorus 4]
The stars wrote you carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
Kendra, you were never meant to fit the molds they made,
You are rooted in the deep and reaching for the wide,
You are everything you've carried and the turning of the tide

[Bridge]
You were never too much, you were always enough,
The universe held you even through the rough,
Let the light you've given out come back and find your door,
You are guided, you are held, and you are worth far more

[Outro]
So rest in what you are, not what you've had to prove,
The cosmos mapped this life and it was always meant for you
