[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you carry yourself through the room,
A warmth that fills the corners before anyone sees you bloom,
But underneath the radiance, there's a tide that won't stay still,
A mind that races through the night when everything is still,
You've learned to guard the tender parts, the ones that feel too much,
While giving everyone around you your most open touch,

[PreChorus]
You hold the world like it belongs to you to heal,
But who holds you when what you hide starts to feel too real?

[Chorus]
Kathlyn, you were written in a language stars still speak,
You are not the walls you've built, you are everything beneath,
Every wave you've swallowed whole has made you deeper, made you wide,
You are the ocean and the shore, the turning and the tide,

[Verse 2]
You love the way a conversation blooms at golden hour,
A joke, a glance, a word that turns an ordinary hour,
You crave the kind of closeness that still leaves you room to breathe,
A love that's light enough to soar but rooted like a tree,
You give before you're asked, you've always been that way,
A heart that moves toward others like the compass finds its way,

[PreChorus]
You've worn yourself to nothing for a world that doesn't ask,
It's time to let the giving be a gift and not a task,

[Chorus]
Kathlyn, you were written in a language stars still speak,
You are not the walls you've built, you are everything beneath,
Every wave you've swallowed whole has made you deeper, made you wide,
You are the ocean and the shore, the turning and the tide,

[Verse 3]
Your mind is wired like lightning trapped inside cathedral glass,
It sees the cracks in everything and still finds what will last,
You want to fix what's broken, want to make the systems whole,
But darling, there is nothing here to fix inside your soul,
The critic living in your chest has kept you safe for years,
But safe is not the same as free, and you've outgrown those fears,

[PreChorus]
The vision that you carry is a torch, not just a thought,
The world you see more clearly is the world that needs you most,

[Chorus]
Kathlyn, you were written in a language stars still speak,
You are not the walls you've built, you are everything beneath,
Every wave you've swallowed whole has made you deeper, made you wide,
You are the ocean and the shore, the turning and the tide,

[Verse 4]
There's something healing gathering now beneath a summer sky,
A gentler kind of knowing, like permission to arrive,
You don't need to have it all resolved before you claim your place,
The light was always meant for you, you don't need to make a case,
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades,
And everything you've carried here has earned you better days,

[PreChorus]
You are not behind, not broken, not too much, not too small,
You are exactly, precisely, wholly meant for all of this,

[Bridge]
You were made for depth the shallow never find,
For connection that outreaches what the eye defines,
Let the healing in the way it always knew it could,
You are held, you are enough, you always have been good,

[Outro]
Kathlyn, the stars don't make mistakes in what they choose to keep,
You are rare, and you are real, and you are finally free.
