[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface, deep water underneath,
A mind that reads the room before the first word leaves,
You carry what is broken like it's something you were made to hold,
You show up for the ones you love and rarely ask the cost,
You've built your worth through seasons and through everything you've lost,
And all that quiet discipline has turned to solid gold

[PreChorus]
They see the steady presence, they don't see the tide,
All those currents running fathoms deep inside

[Chorus]
Kathy, you are written in the oldest kind of light,
The moon inside your chest has been your compass through the night,
You don't have to keep proving what was always true,
The world already needed every piece of you

[Verse 2]
You love like something sacred, like a door left open wide,
But you've learned to watch for danger before letting someone inside,
And when you give, you give completely, nothing measured, nothing back,
There's a vision in the way you speak, a hunger for what's real,
A mind that chases meaning past the edges of the map,
And every scar you carry is a testament to how much you can feel

[PreChorus]
You searched for something solid in a sky that wouldn't stay,
And found the truth was always just a breath of trust away

[Chorus]
Kathy, you are written in the oldest kind of light,
The moon inside your chest has been your compass through the night,
You don't have to keep proving what was always true,
The world already needed every piece of you

[Bridge]
You were never too much, you were always just enough,
The depth that made it harder is the same thing that makes you tough,
What you called your weakness was a river finding ground,
You were never lost, just waiting to be found

[Outro]
The stars were patient when they made you, chose each thread with care,
Everything you've carried was already meant to be there,
Kathy, you are home
