[Verse 1]
There's a fire in your eyes that cuts through the noise
A truth-telling heart with an honest voice
You see the world through justice and light
But sometimes your words burn a little too bright
You carry the weight of what's real and true
Even when speaking it hurts me and you

[Chorus]
Courtney, you're steady when the world shakes apart
With roots running deep and a practical heart
You're learning to bend when the seasons must change
Finding your strength in what others call strange
Courtney, the universe mapped out your way
Between holding on and letting it stay

[Verse 2]
Your love builds slowly like stone and mortar
You guard what's precious like a careful daughter
The surface looks calm but the depths run wide
With currents of power you've learned how to hide
You think with your heart when the mind gets loud
Standing apart from the hurried crowd

[Chorus]
Courtney, you're steady when the world shakes apart
With roots running deep and a practical heart
You're learning to bend when the seasons must change
Finding your strength in what others call strange
Courtney, the universe mapped out your way
Between holding on and letting it stay

[Verse 3]
There's something ancestral in how you create
A home from the stories that time cannot break
Your words carry weight from a wisdom you've earned
Through lessons that taught you which bridges get burned
The family you build becomes sacred ground
Where lost souls and dreamers know they're found

[Chorus]
Courtney, you're steady when the world shakes apart
With roots running deep and a practical heart
You're learning to bend when the seasons must change
Finding your strength in what others call strange
Courtney, the universe mapped out your way
Between holding on and letting it stay

[Verse 4]
The path isn't linear, it spirals and curves
Through depths that would shake up the strongest of nerves
You're meant to transform what was broken before
To open the locks on the heaviest doors
Your voice is a bridge for the ones who can't speak
Your strength is the comfort that others seek

[Chorus]
Courtney, you're steady when the world shakes apart
With roots running deep and a practical heart
You're learning to bend when the seasons must change
Finding your strength in what others call strange
Courtney, the universe mapped out your way
Between holding on and letting it stay

[Bridge]
There's magic in how you make order from pain
How you plant seeds of hope in the darkest of rain
The cosmos conspired to make you this way
A grounding force in a world gone astray
You don't need to prove what you already are
You're exactly enough, you're exactly how far

[Outro]
The journey keeps calling, the path opens wide
With everything sacred you carry inside
You're guided and held by a love that won't break
Every step that you take is a step that you make
