[Verse 1]
There's a quiet strength that lives beneath your skin
A fire that burns steady when the world grows thin
You love like lightning striking twice in the same place
Bold and beautiful with such honest grace
They see the calm but miss the restless tide
All those dreams and questions you keep inside

[PreChorus]
You've been searching for something you can't name
Playing by rules but breaking every game

[Chorus]
Kerry, you're the storm and the shelter both at once
Kerry, every scar became a song you never sung
You don't need permission to take up all that space
You're exactly who you're meant to be, Kerry, in this place

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like rivers through ancient stone
Carving paths that only you have known
You speak in colors others can't quite see
But your words have weight, they set spirits free
Sometimes the mirror lies about your worth
But you're planted deep like something rare in earth

[PreChorus]
You've been building bridges out of your own doubt
Learning what this journey's all about

[Chorus]
Kerry, you're the storm and the shelter both at once
Kerry, every scar became a song you never sung
You don't need permission to take up all that space
You're exactly who you're meant to be, Kerry, in this place

[Verse 3]
Home is something you're still learning how to build
Not in walls but in the spaces you have filled
With laughter that echoes through the deepest night
With love that chooses truth over being right
You're the friend who holds the pieces when they break
The one who gives and gives for others' sake

[Bridge]
The universe conspired to make you whole
Every contradiction serves your soul
You're allowed to change your mind and change again
You're allowed to love and lose and love again

[Outro]
There's a compass pointing home inside your heart
It was there right from the very start
Trust the path you're walking, trust the light you bring
You're the melody the cosmos chose to sing
