[Verse 1]
She built her house from the inside out, brick by patient brick,
A mind that struck like flint before the flame could even flick,
Three planets crowded in the future's corner, shoulder pressed to shoulder,
She learned that what the group could dream was bolder than what told her,
The childhood home had rules pressed flat like linen, starched and cool,
But she kept something wild tucked under every practiced rule,

[PreChorus]
The full moon breaks across the open sky tonight,
And everything she carried long is stepping into light,

[Chorus]
Catherine, you were forged in the slow and steady seam,
Not the loudest in the room, but the keeper of the dream,
Every circle that you gathered, every cause you helped ignite,
Catherine, you were always built for more than fitting right,

[Verse 2]
She tells her love through small particulars, the door left on the latch,
The meal that's ready when you're tired, the memory she'll catch,
She keeps her tenderness behind a curtain, tucked from view,
But a whole private ocean holds the people that she drew,
Her mind and feeling moved in tandem, storyteller's thread,
The penetrating word she chose could raise the nearly dead,

[PreChorus]
The full moon hangs above the turning of the year,
What she kept too long in silence is finally drawing near,

[Chorus]
Catherine, the devotion that you hid was never small,
The vision that you carried built a future for them all,
Every room you ever walked in held a thread you tied together,
Catherine, your particular kind of love outlasts all weather,

[Verse 3]
She worked without the fanfare, stacked integrity on patience,
A steady hand that planned the long game through a dozen stations,
The tug between what called her high and what kept pulling back,
She learned to pace the leap itself, not lose it in the track,
Now the overdue illumination rises clear and wide,
And what she built in years of quiet finally opens wide,

[PreChorus]
The revealing light falls on the woman that she's been,
And all she ever gave the world is asking to be seen,

[Chorus]
Catherine, the years of honest labor weren't a life deferred,
The legacy you built so slow is finally being heard,
Every dream you held for others, every cause you pushed along,
Catherine, now the full moon proves you've belonged here all along,

[Bridge]
She never needed spectacle to know the depth she held,
The story in her silence was the richest ever told,
What she set in motion gently now returns a hundredfold,
A future she made possible is hers at last to hold,

[Outro]
Catherine, the sky is clear, the work was never small,
Step into the light you built and answer when they call,
