[Verse 1]
She reads a room before she walks inside,
A thousand thoughts she learned to keep and hide,
Her mind moves fast, a river with no shore,
Always asking what the world is really for,
She's built of questions, wonder, and quiet fire,
A soul that climbs and never tires of higher,

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, easy and bright,
They don't see the depth she carries at night,

[Chorus]
Christie, you're the storm and the still,
The kind of soul that bends but never will,
Written in starlight, grounded in grace,
The whole universe mapped on your face,

[Verse 2]
She loves the way that language holds a hand,
Says what the heart can't always understand,
She gives before she's asked, she holds the door,
Then wonders quietly if she deserves more,
That ache of worth she's carried like a stone,
Was never hers to carry all alone,

[PreChorus]
She's not the version others thought they knew,
She's so much older and so much more true,

[Chorus]
Christie, you're the storm and the still,
The kind of soul that bends but never will,
Written in starlight, grounded in grace,
The whole universe mapped on your face,

[Verse 3]
There's something ancient living in her bones,
A compass humming even when she's thrown,
She's turned her wounds into a kind of map,
Found her way back through every gap,
And every time she questioned her own light,
The stars were quietly proving her right,

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need to earn what she already is,
Every breath she takes belongs to her, not this,

[Chorus]
Christie, you're the storm and the still,
The kind of soul that bends but never will,
Written in starlight, grounded in grace,
The whole universe mapped on your face,

[Bridge]
You don't have to hold it all together,
You were made to last beyond the weather,
Let the tide come in, let it find the shore,
You were always everything, and more,

[Outro]
The cosmos wrote you carefully and slow,
And everything you are is meant to grow,
You are held, you are seen, you are enough,
Christie, you were always made of this stuff,
