[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold your ground,
Like the earth itself before it makes a sound,
But underneath that calm, a fire runs free,
A hunger for the truth of what you're meant to be,
You carry ancient knowing in your bones,
A quiet kind of power you call your own

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, steady, still, and sure,
They don't see the tide that pulls beneath the shore

[Chorus]
Courtnay, you were written in a careful hand,
A force of nature trying to understand,
The stars have held your name since long before,
You are not too much, you're everything, and more

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves fast, a flame before the thought,
You feel the things that cannot quite be caught,
You've tried so many times to make them hear,
The words you chose so carefully and clear,
But every time you weren't understood,
You built a bridge from that — and someone could

[PreChorus]
The wound of going unheard made you wise,
You learned to read the truth behind the eyes

[Chorus]
Courtnay, you were written in a careful hand,
A force of nature trying to understand,
The stars have held your name since long before,
You are not too much, you're everything, and more

[Verse 3]
You love like an open window in July,
Light and conversation, room to breathe and fly,
But love has cost you more than you have shown,
You've given warmth to people in the cold alone,
You longed for closeness but you kept the door,
Half-open, half-afraid of wanting more

[PreChorus]
That caution isn't damage, it is depth,
A heart that guards itself still takes a breath

[Chorus]
Courtnay, you were written in a careful hand,
A force of nature trying to understand,
The stars have held your name since long before,
You are not too much, you're everything, and more

[Verse 4]
The roots that tangled deep beneath your past,
Were never meant to hold you, just to last,
Long enough to teach you what to release,
To trade the old inheritance for peace,
The healing that is coming finds you whole,
A soft green light returning to your soul

[PreChorus]
The world you dreamed of building still exists,
And everything you carry will assist

[Chorus]
Courtnay, you were written in a careful hand,
A force of nature trying to understand,
The stars have held your name since long before,
You are not too much, you're everything, and more

[Bridge]
You don't have to prove the weight of what you bring,
The cosmos wrote you carefully for everything,
Let the light that's coming find you where you are,
You were always whole, you always were the star

[Outro]
So rest inside the story being told,
Courtnay, you are worth your weight in gold,
The sky has mapped a path that leads you through,
There has never been, and never will be, anyone like you
