[Verse 1]
Two voices living underneath one skin,
A quiet war between what shows and what's within,
The face you wear is steady, calm, and bright,
But there's a tide that pulls you under every night,
You catalog the chaos, keep it clean and filed,
While something wild and wondering runs free inside,

[PreChorus]
You've mapped the world in detail, every flaw and seam,
But forgot to give that same grace to yourself, it seems,

[Chorus]
Kristi, you are written in the oldest light,
A mind that never rests but a heart that burns just right,
You don't have to earn the space that you already own,
Every root you've grown in silence brings you home,

[Verse 2]
You love like something slow-built, rich, and true,
Like bread and earth and candlelight and morning dew,
You give before they ask and give when no one sees,
You keep your deepest longing hidden in the leaves,
There's beauty in the way you choose who gets your trust,
Devotion laid in bedrock, not in promises and dust,

[PreChorus]
You dream of something sacred where connection has no end,
Just keep your feet on solid ground while reaching past the bend,

[Chorus]
Kristi, you are written in the oldest light,
A mind that never rests but a heart that burns just right,
You don't have to earn the space that you already own,
Every root you've grown in silence brings you home,

[Verse 3]
There's a wound that wonders if you matter when you're still,
If the doing ever pauses, is there something left to fill,
You pushed and proved and carried more than anyone could see,
Not knowing that your presence was already the key,
The world called out for boldness and you learned to answer back,
But tenderness was always what you never let them lack,

[PreChorus]
You've held the weight of others like it costs you nothing dear,
The bravest thing you'll ever do is let yourself be near,

[Chorus]
Kristi, you are written in the oldest light,
A mind that never rests but a heart that burns just right,
You don't have to earn the space that you already own,
Every root you've grown in silence brings you home,

[Verse 4]
The path ahead was sketched before you knew your name,
A maker and a mender, never twice the same,
Your originality is not a flaw to smooth away,
It's the current that the world needs moving through the grey,
You're called to something larger than the four walls of your doubt,
There's a compass deep inside you and it knows the way out,

[PreChorus]
The universe was careful when it built the bones of you,
Enough already, always — every complicated truth,

[Chorus]
Kristi, you are written in the oldest light,
A mind that never rests but a heart that burns just right,
You don't have to earn the space that you already own,
Every root you've grown in silence brings you home,

[Bridge]
You are not the sum of everything you couldn't fix,
You are every quiet miracle that stubbornly persists,
The stars were not just watching, they were learning from your way,
A life this carefully lived is more than enough to say,

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you were never incomplete,
Kristi, you were always whole — the light and the defeat,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
And everything you are is worth more than you've been paid,
