[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold a room,
Like a painting finished just before the bloom,
You weigh every word before it leaves your tongue,
Measuring the world like a scale that's never hung,
They see composure, grace, a diplomat's ease,
But underneath that calm there's a tide beneath the trees,
You've carried others' weight like it was meant for you,
Giving every last piece while they took in the view

[PreChorus]
And you've ached in the quiet where no one ever looks,
You've written your own worth between the margins of the books,
But what they couldn't see, and what you sometimes miss,
Is the depth of who you are is the whole of what it is

[Chorus]
Oh Katie, you were written in the balance and the fire,
In the space between the longing and the love that reaches higher,
The universe held nothing back the day that you arrived,
You are not too much, not too little — you are perfectly alive,
Oh Katie, let the light find all the places you have known,
Every wound became a doorway, every root became a throne

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, wide, and warm,
Like a hearth that holds its ground inside the storm,
You give before you're asked, you feel before you speak,
But you've wondered in the dark if love will find the real and not the sleek,
There's a mind in you that turns the stone to see beneath,
That hears the thing unsaid and pulls the truth from underneath,
You've questioned if your presence was enough to be worth holding,
But the ones who stayed the longest saw the light that you kept folding

[PreChorus]
And the ache of feeling unseen in a world so loud,
Became the very compass that led you through the crowd,
What looked like wounds were maps drawn in extraordinary ink,
And you've always been more powerful than you dare to think

[Chorus]
Oh Katie, you were written in the balance and the fire,
In the space between the longing and the love that reaches higher,
The universe held nothing back the day that you arrived,
You are not too much, not too little — you are perfectly alive,
Oh Katie, let the light find all the places you have known,
Every wound became a doorway, every root became a throne

[Bridge]
There is something in you built for what the world cannot contain,
A vision that was fashioned long before you knew its name,
You have walked through your own seasons, learned to stand up through the cold,
And the hunger for what's sacred is the finest thing you hold,
So let the searching be the answer, let the wandering be the way,
You were not meant to be figured out — you were meant to be okay

[Outro]
Breathe it in, the whole of you, the tender and the true,
There is nothing left to prove, there is nothing left to do,
The stars did not mistake you when they shaped you into this,
You are held, you are enough, you are not one thing amiss
