[Verse 1]
She's the kind of love that holds before you ask,
The one behind the curtain, never off the task,
Four hearts beating steady underneath her care,
The roots beneath the garden, always growing there,
She carries what is heavy like it weighs nothing at all,
The tallest of the trees is still the last one left to fall

[PreChorus]
But even the deepest river needs a place to rest,
Even the one who gives the most deserves to feel the best

[Chorus]
Colleen, you are the heartbeat of the home,
A love so wide and ancient, you were never meant to fold,
Colleen, every candle that you've lit against the dark,
Is proof the whole sky's living inside your one true heart

[Verse 2]
She lost the woman who first showed her how to bloom,
And some days grief moves through her like a tide inside a room,
They see her standing steady, dressed in calm and grace,
They don't see what it costs her just to hold that smiling face,
But loss that runs this deep don't mean the broken parts have won,
It means she loved so fully, like a Taurus loves the sun

[PreChorus]
The wound became a window, the sorrow became ground,
The missing became wisdom in the silence she has found

[Chorus]
Colleen, you are the heartbeat of the home,
A love so wide and ancient, you were never meant to fold,
Colleen, every candle that you've lit against the dark,
Is proof the whole sky's living inside your one true heart

[Verse 3]
There's a mind inside her that never stops its turning,
A current always moving, always questioning and yearning,
She'll give before she's given to, she'll stay when others leave,
She'll hold the ones she's chosen like the earth holds every seed,
But underneath the giving is a woman not yet seen,
One who needs a hand to hold, not just a place to lean

[PreChorus]
The one who tends to everyone still needs somebody's grace,
The light she pours on others deserves to find her face

[Chorus]
Colleen, you are the heartbeat of the home,
A love so wide and ancient, you were never meant to fold,
Colleen, every candle that you've lit against the dark,
Is proof the whole sky's living inside your one true heart

[Verse 4]
The new moon rises quiet over everything she's built,
No debt she owes the darkness, no weight that she calls guilt,
She came here made for loving, made to hold what matters most,
And the mother that she's mourning is the one who loves her close,
Still breathing in the spaces where the grief becomes a door,
She is not just what she gives — she is everything and more

[PreChorus]
The stars don't write a story for a soul that's meant to break,
They write it for the ones who rise with everything at stake

[Bridge]
She is water, she is fire, she is patient, she is fierce,
She is every quiet morning after every night that pierced,
The cosmos did not make her to be small or to be still,
She was written for this love, and she is living out that will

[Outro]
Colleen, the moon remembers every name it's ever blessed,
And yours was spoken gently — you were always one of the best,
Rest now in the knowing you were worthy from the start,
The whole sky's always living in your heart
