[Verse 1]
She holds the earth beneath her feet like something sacred and her own,
Patient as a river stone, but deeper than the surface shown,
They see the stillness in her eyes, the steady and unshaken ground,
They don't see the ocean roaring in the silence of that sound,
She's the one who shows up quiet when the room needs something real,
Built on roots that no one planted, earned on everything she'd feel,
And she keeps the door unlocked for anyone who needs to come inside,
While her own unspoken tides keep pulling at the high-water line she hides

[PreChorus 1]
She has carried what was heavy like it weighed nothing at all,
Learning how to hold her balance every time the curtains fall

[Chorus]
Kat, you are the still before the breaking of the dawn,
The kind of soul the world leans on and still keeps moving on,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all your space,
Every scar has been a map that led you to this place,
Kat, the stars were paying close attention when they made you whole,
You are written in the deep, deep water, you're enough just as you are,
You are enough, Kat, let that in

[Verse 2]
There's a fire that moves before the world has even named the fight,
She doesn't wait for someone's signal, she's already in the light,
And her mind it never settles, always reaching for the seam,
Between what everybody else sees and the truth she almost dreamed,
She's loved with all the brightness of a conversation worth the breath,
She makes the ordinary luminous and laughter out of depth,
But there's a room inside her she keeps darkened from the crowd,
Where all the love she gives so freely isn't spoken quite aloud

[PreChorus 2]
She has given to the edges of the people that she's known,
While the most deserving part of her has waited there alone

[Chorus]
Kat, you are the still before the breaking of the dawn,
The kind of soul the world leans on and still keeps moving on,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all your space,
Every scar has been a map that led you to this place,
Kat, the stars were paying close attention when they made you whole,
You are written in the deep, deep water, you're enough just as you are,
You are enough, Kat, let that in

[Verse 3]
She's the one who reads the room before a word has left the air,
She absorbs the weight of others like she was designed to bear,
And she's questioned her direction like a compass in a storm,
Tried on other people's versions of what she was supposed to become,
But her truth was never borrowed, it was grown beneath the bone,
Through the ground that wasn't given, through the roots she laid alone,
She has walked through rooms of darkness holding nothing but her light,
And she came back with a lantern she could pass to anyone tonight

[PreChorus 3]
Every wound became a wisdom she could press into her hands,
Every question she couldn't answer led her deeper into who she is

[Chorus]
Kat, you are the still before the breaking of the dawn,
The kind of soul the world leans on and still keeps moving on,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all your space,
Every scar has been a map that led you to this place,
Kat, the stars were paying close attention when they made you whole,
You are written in the deep, deep water, you're enough just as you are,
You are enough, Kat, let that in

[Verse 4]
She is building something lasting that the eye cannot yet see,
Not for recognition, not for proof, but just because she's free,
There's a compass in her chest that has been pointing her toward home,
Through the grief she held in silence and the beauty she has known,
She belongs to something ancient, something wider than a name,
Like a tide that keeps returning, she is always just the same,
The world still needs the things she carries wrapped inside her quiet hands,
All the mercy and the courage, all the truth she understands

[PreChorus 4]
So let the moon reflect her back to her the way it does the sea,
