[Verse 1]
There's a current underneath the calm you show the world
A dreamer with a mind that thinks in oceans, not in words
You feel the room before you're even in the door
An old soul carrying depths most people never reach the floor
You've learned to hold yourself together, quiet and composed
But there's a universe inside you that nobody fully knows

[PreChorus]
You absorb it all — the light, the ache, the in-between
The most perceptive eyes belong to those who've learned to see

[Chorus]
Kerrie, you were written in the tide and in the flame
Every contradiction in you is exactly why you came
The world has always needed what you carry in your bones
You are guided, you are held, you are never truly alone

[Verse 2]
You love like someone charging in with everything to give
Bold and unafraid and whole, that's how you choose to live
But you've built a quiet fortress out of lessons learned in pain
Kept the door half-open in the cold and in the rain
You've doubted if the love you give will ever find its way back
But every heart you've touched became a light on someone's darkest track

[PreChorus]
You were never too much — you were always just enough
And the ones worth staying for will meet you in the rough

[Chorus]
Kerrie, you were written in the tide and in the flame
Every contradiction in you is exactly why you came
The world has always needed what you carry in your bones
You are guided, you are held, you are never truly alone

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves like a river finding new ways to run
Threading ancient questions through to where the answers come
You've wrestled with beliefs that never quite felt like your own
And forged a private truth from every seed the dark has sown
That restlessness you carry is a compass, not a flaw
It's the hunger of a spirit built to reach for something more

[PreChorus]
You've walked through fire steady, held your ground through every shift
What you thought were open wounds were quietly becoming gifts

[Chorus]
Kerrie, you were written in the tide and in the flame
Every contradiction in you is exactly why you came
The world has always needed what you carry in your bones
You are guided, you are held, you are never truly alone

[Verse 4]
They see the grace, they miss the tide that pulls beneath your skin
The quiet war between the dreamer and the discipline
You've built your worth from nothing, hands and heart and patient years
Turned the weight of expectation into something that appears
So solid and so steady that they lean on you like stone
Not knowing that the anchor also aches to not be alone

[PreChorus]
But the stars that shaped you knew what they were doing all along
Everything you've carried made the melody more strong

[Chorus]
Kerrie, you were written in the tide and in the flame
Every contradiction in you is exactly why you came
The world has always needed what you carry in your bones
You are guided, you are held, you are never truly alone

[Bridge]
You don't need to earn the right to rest, to breathe, to stay
You don't have to keep on giving yourself away
Every scar became a story, every doubt became a door
You are not who you survived — you are so much more

[Outro]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades
Kerrie, you are whole in all your beautiful, unfinished ways
You are held inside the turning of a sky that knows your name
You were always, always worthy of the life to which you came
