[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the marrow of everything you do,
A charge that moves before the world can catch its cue,
But underneath the boldness lives a softer, searching place,
A girl who built her whole world around the meaning of home and grace,
You carry all the history written in your bones,
And you've learned to be the shelter even when you're alone,

[PreChorus]
They see the confidence, they don't see the climb,
All that proving yourself just to feel like you're fine,

[Chorus]
But Kerri, you were written in a language old and true,
The cosmos bent its careful light to carve the shape of you,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
You were always meant to be exactly in this place,

[Verse 2]
You think in rivers, not in lines, in feeling, not in fact,
Your mind arrives at answers through a door no map has tracked,
And oh, the way you love — like something slow and sure,
Like bread and earth and candlelight, like everything that endures,
You need someone who stays, not someone bright and fast,
You love like you were built to make the good things last,

[PreChorus]
They see the warmth you give, they don't see what it costs,
All those hours holding others through their storms and their loss,

[Chorus]
But Kerri, you were written in a language old and true,
The cosmos bent its careful light to carve the shape of you,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
You were always meant to be exactly in this place,

[Verse 3]
There's a wound you keep returning to like testing an old door,
That question of your worth, of whether you are more,
But every wall you've built in dark has kept you standing tall,
And every time the ground gave way you didn't let yourself fall,
The ache of early storms became the roots beneath your feet,
You didn't break — you learned to grow through every incomplete,

[PreChorus]
They see the steady surface, they don't see the tide,
All those currents running quiet and deep inside,

[Chorus]
But Kerri, you were written in a language old and true,
The cosmos bent its careful light to carve the shape of you,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
You were always meant to be exactly in this place,

[Verse 4]
You're pulled toward the horizon like a question needs its sky,
Between the soul that craves belonging and the one that needs to fly,
The world beyond the known calls out in tones only you can hear,
A wanderer with deep roots, a dreamer who stays near,
There's healing in the path ahead, the kind that finds you whole,
A softer kind of knowing that was always in your soul,

[PreChorus]
You've carried enough silence, you've held enough alone,
Now let the light you give to others find its way back home,

[Bridge]
The scars you've kept so carefully were never proof of less,
They're evidence of everything you've weathered and compressed,
You are not the sum of all the hardest things you've known,
You are all the beauty that from those hard things has grown,

[Outro]
Let your stars decide the rest, they always knew your name,
Kerri, you were never something anyone could tame,
The universe wrote you slowly, with an unhurried hand,
And everything you are right now is exactly as it's planned,
