[Verse 1]
She moves like she was born mid-stride, no hesitation in her eyes
The kind of fire that doesn't wait for permission to rise
She reads a room before she's in it, feels everything twice as deep
And carries more beneath that calm than anyone would think to seek
There's an ocean underneath the armor, tides that no one gets to see
A softness she's been slow to trust, a warmth she guards so carefully

[PreChorus]
She's been the one who holds the thread when everything unravels
Built from every road she's walked, every weight she carried, still she travels

[Chorus]
You're already more than you've been asked to prove, Keriann
Every scar has made you something they don't understand
You were written in the fire and the salt and the stone
You're the kind of strength that doesn't need to be shown

[Verse 2]
She loves before she has a reason, leads before the path appears
Speaks her truth with both hands shaking, still she says what no one hears
They see the spark, they miss the staying power underneath the blaze
The way she builds a thing for keeps, slow and steady through the haze
She gave so much to so many rooms that didn't hold her name
And somewhere in the giving, she forgot that she's not the one to blame

[PreChorus]
The weight of other people's worlds has lived inside her chest so long
But every burden she has carried is just proof of how she's strong

[Chorus]
You're already more than you've been asked to prove, Keriann
Every scar has made you something they don't understand
You were written in the fire and the salt and the stone
You're the kind of strength that doesn't need to be shown

[Verse 3]
She's got a mind that moves like lightning, always seven steps ahead
Words land like they were meant for you, precisely aimed and said
She questions what the world accepts, she never takes the easy seam
She's a philosophical rebel stitching justice into every dream
The people that she calls her people hold a piece of her she rarely shows
A chosen family built on vision, on the truth that only she knows

[PreChorus]
She's stood at every crossroads asking if she's enough to stay
The answer has been yes each time, she's just learning how to say

[Chorus]
You're already more than you've been asked to prove, Keriann
Every scar has made you something they don't understand
You were written in the fire and the salt and the stone
You're the kind of strength that doesn't need to be shown

[Verse 4]
There's a healing coming like September light through shifting air
Like something she released a long time ago finally laid bare
The voice she learned to quiet is the one the world needs most
The words she swallowed into silence were the ones that mattered close
She is not the wound, she's what grew wild and whole around it
She lost herself inside the deep and every time she found it

[PreChorus]
The cosmos did not write her small, they wrote her like a landmark
A fixed star on the longest night, still burning in the dark

[Chorus]
You're already more than you've been asked to prove, Keriann
Every scar has made you something they don't understand
You were written in the fire and the salt and the stone
You're the kind of strength that doesn't need to be shown

[Bridge]
You don't have to outrun the life you were given anymore
Every road was leading somewhere and you're standing at the door
The world needs what you carry, put down what isn't yours to keep
You are rooted, you are ready, you are finally running free

[Outro]
So take the wheel and take the window and let the highway hold you tight
Keriann, you were made for this, you were made for your own light
Every star that wrote you carefully still knows exactly where you are
You were never lost, just moving, and you never had far to go
