[Verse 1]
There's a current running under everything you say,
Still waters on the surface, but the depths are miles away,
You read a room before you've crossed the threshold at the door,
You feel what no one's spoken and you quietly keep the score,
The world sees someone measured, calm, collected, standing tall,
But you're carrying an ocean and you never let it fall

[PreChorus]
You've learned to hold yourself together like a tide held back by stone,
But holding everything for everyone has left you strangely alone

[Chorus]
Pat, you are the depth beneath the calm and graceful face,
A mind that maps the hidden and a heart that holds its place,
You were written by the stars with more intention than you know,
Pat, you don't have to earn your worth — you already glow

[Verse 2]
You love the way that ancient rivers love the stone they carve,
Slow and sure and total, every crack and hollow marked,
You don't give pieces — you give everything or nothing at all,
And every wall you've built around your heart remembers every fall,
But those walls aren't made of weakness, they were forged in what you've known,
Every layer is a testament to all that you have grown

[PreChorus]
You've searched the wide horizon for the truth that felt like home,
Through every question, every doorway, every road you've walked alone

[Chorus]
Pat, you are the depth beneath the calm and graceful face,
A mind that maps the hidden and a heart that holds its place,
You were written by the stars with more intention than you know,
Pat, you don't have to earn your worth — you already glow

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves like a blade through fog, precise and searching deep,
You find the thread beneath the words that other people keep,
You've weighed a thousand choices in the scales behind your eyes,
Measuring what's fair and true before you'd dare to rise,
That careful way of moving isn't caution — it's your art,
You've always known that beauty starts with knowing every part

[PreChorus]
You've carried wounds that no one saw, transformed them into sight,
What broke you open made you into someone built for light

[Chorus]
Pat, you are the depth beneath the calm and graceful face,
A mind that maps the hidden and a heart that holds its place,
You were written by the stars with more intention than you know,
Pat, you don't have to earn your worth — you already glow

[Verse 4]
There's a vision in you wider than the world you've walked so far,
A hunger for the meaning in the distance, in the stars,
You've been the one who holds the room together, holds the thread,
Who speaks the healing into being long before it's said,
The gifts you carry quietly are needed, every one,
What you think is just your shadow is the proof of all you've done

[PreChorus]
The cosmos mapped your edges with a hand that knew the cost,
Nothing in you is wasted and nothing has been lost

[Chorus]
Pat, you are the depth beneath the calm and graceful face,
A mind that maps the hidden and a heart that holds its place,
You were written by the stars with more intention than you know,
Pat, you don't have to earn your worth — you already glow

[Bridge]
You are not the weight you carry or the silence that you keep,
You are every answer surfacing from somewhere true and deep,
Let the tide inside you settle, let the knowing finally land,
You were never lost — you were always exactly as planned

[Outro]
The stars don't write a story without purpose in each line,
And every word they wrote for you is luminous by design,
Rest now in the knowing, Pat — you are enough, you're whole,
The universe has always had your name written in its soul
