[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you face the world each day,
A mind that chases horizons, won't be told to stay,
You carry generations in the marrow of your bones,
Building warmth for everyone while tending to your own,
The truth lives on your tongue like something wild and free,
You say the thing that matters, even when it costs a fee

[PreChorus]
They see the light you offer, they don't see the tide,
All those oceans running deep and quiet inside

[Chorus]
Kathy, you are written in a language stars speak slow,
A full moon pulling at the current down below,
You are the archer and the arrow, you are root and flame,
You were never meant to be ordinary, never meant to be tame

[Verse 2]
Your heart moves like a compass always true and north,
Devoted once you've opened up, and nothing holds you forth,
You love with patience, earning what you dare to trust,
Building something lasting from the ordinary dust,
They see the calm you carry like a second skin you wear,
They don't know how long you stitched that quiet from despair

[PreChorus]
But every wall you built was just a bridge in disguise,
And the deepest thing about you is what you hide behind your eyes

[Chorus]
Kathy, you are written in a language stars speak slow,
A full moon pulling at the current down below,
You are the archer and the arrow, you are root and flame,
You were never meant to be ordinary, never meant to be tame

[Verse 3]
Your mind is tuned to frequencies the rest of them can't hear,
A poet living quietly behind your atmosphere,
You think in myths and metaphors and meanings tucked in seams,
And what looks like restlessness to them is really wings and dreams,
You've rebuilt rooms inside yourself that others burned to ground,
That is not a wound — that is the rarest kind of crown

[PreChorus]
The world keeps asking you to be half of what you are,
But you were born the whole of it, you were born a living star

[Chorus]
Kathy, you are written in a language stars speak slow,
A full moon pulling at the current down below,
You are the archer and the arrow, you are root and flame,
You were never meant to be ordinary, never meant to be tame

[Verse 4]
Now healing comes like morning through a window long shut tight,
Something long held underwater finally finds the light,
You don't have to fix the world before you find your rest,
You don't have to earn the softness, you have always passed the test,
The universe has held your name since long before your birth,
There is a compass pointing home, and you have always known your worth

[PreChorus]
Let the arrow find its sky, let the archer finally land,
Everything you've ever needed has been written in your hand

[Bridge]
You are enough in all the ways that silence never says,
Rooted deep in who you are and ablaze in who you'll be,
Every scar became a story, every storm became the sea,
And what you carry changes rooms — just by letting yourself be

[Outro]
Kathy, the stars decided long ago you'd make it through,
And every light that's ever found the dark was lit by someone like you
