Verse 1 Feels like yesterday, Cape Town light Holding you there for the very first time So small, so perfect, breath held still Didn’t know then just how much I’d feel Through London years and Sydney skies Watching your world through visits and goodbyes But every time I saw your face I saw the person you’d become Chorus 1 And I’ve watched you become who you are From a spark to a rising star From “faster, faster” chasing the wind To a heart that lets the whole world in And even from oceans apart I’ve carried you here in my heart --- Verse 2 Running wild with no brakes at all Laughing loud, never scared to fall Sunset gold at Llandudno Salt in your hair, that ocean glow Sunrise swims in the quiet blue Finding something honest and true Curled up slow with a book in hand Then lighting up every room you stand in Chorus 2 And I’ve watched you become who you are All that light, all that heart Every laugh and every tear Every doubt that brought you here And you shine in all that you do In a way that’s so deeply you --- Verse 3 Now you sit in that sacred space Holding lives with such quiet grace You see the parts we try to hide And help them breathe, and soften inside You’ve known those shadows in your own way That’s how you know just what to say Turning pain into something kind A healing hand, a steady mind Chorus 3 And I’ve watched you become who you are Not in spite of the scars But because you feel so deep You can hold what others keep And the world is better, it’s true Just because it has you --- Verse 4 In Kenilworth streets you’ve made your home Not far from Matt, not far from your own Sunlight drifting through quiet rooms Soft conversations, creative blooms From Stellenbosch halls to Hermanus shores Giving your heart to something that’s more And every client that finds your care Feels something safe just being there --- Bridge From dancing to Abba as a child To standing strong and undefiled From fearless speed to deeper sight You grew your wings in your own time And all the love you give away You see it in the lives you touch It’s there in how you show up In all the quiet things you do --- Final Chorus And I’ve watched you become who you are And I couldn’t be more proud Through every high and every fall You’ve found a way to hold it all So keep shining, just like you do The world is better with you
