[Verse 1]
There's a stillness that you wear like a second skin,
A composed exterior, the storm kept in,
You see through people like they're made of glass,
You've always known which truths are built to last,
The world calls you steady, calls you sure and strong,
But steadiness like yours was forged by carrying on

[PreChorus]
The depth in you runs further than they'll ever see,
You built yourself from everything that tried to break free

[Chorus]
Katlin, you are more than what the surface shows,
A river running ancient where the still water goes,
Every scar you carry is a map, not a wound,
You were written by the stars and they knew what they were doing

[Verse 2]
You love like something rooted, slow and true and deep,
You give before you're asked and what you earn you keep,
There's a hunger in you for a bond that holds,
Not the kind that flickers out when the season gets cold,
You've learned to be cautious, to measure what you share,
But the heart behind those walls is rare beyond compare

[PreChorus]
You reach for something lasting, something worth the weight,
Every wall you built was just a door you hadn't named

[Chorus]
Katlin, you are more than what the surface shows,
A river running ancient where the still water goes,
Every scar you carry is a map, not a wound,
You were written by the stars and they knew what they were doing

[Verse 3]
You've felt the pull of something bigger than yourself,
Like a question you can't shelve on any ordinary shelf,
Your mind cuts clean to the bone of the matter,
Sees what hides beneath the noise, beneath the chatter,
You carry the weight of worlds you didn't choose to hold,
But even borrowed pain becomes the making of the bold

[PreChorus]
There's a calling on your life that no one else can fill,
Something wise and ancient living in you still

[Chorus]
Katlin, you are more than what the surface shows,
A river running ancient where the still water goes,
Every scar you carry is a map, not a wound,
You were written by the stars and they knew what they were doing

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn your place in this world again,
The cosmos spent a lifetime writing you with care and pen,
Your roots run deep enough to hold what's yet to come,
Katlin, you have always been enough

[Outro]
Let the tide come in, let the walls come down,
Everything you've carried was your crown,
You were always whole, you were always found
