[Verse 1]
She reads a room before she crosses through the door,
Feels what lives beneath the words, the silence, so much more,
A mind like deep water, still but never slow,
She carries what she's learned in places no one else can go,
The calm they see is real, but so's the tide,
All those currents she has learned to let run deep inside

[PreChorus]
She's built her walls from every wound that didn't break her through,
And everything she couldn't name became a truth she grew

[Chorus]
Christina, you were written by the long and patient dark,
Every question that went unanswered left a map inside your heart,
You don't need to keep explaining all the depths you hold,
You were always worth the knowing, you were always whole

[Verse 2]
She loves like something ancient, like a vow she doesn't speak,
She gives before she's asked and guards the things she needs most deep,
She's chased the big and beautiful, the meaning in the flame,
Then pulled it back to something solid, built it up again,
Her home is where she pours the fire that no one ever sees,
A devotion that could shake the ground beneath the oldest trees

[PreChorus]
She's learned that worth can't be borrowed from the praise of other hands,
There's a richness already living in exactly where she stands

[Chorus]
Christina, you were written by the long and patient dark,
Every question that went unanswered left a map inside your heart,
You don't need to keep explaining all the depths you hold,
You were always worth the knowing, you were always whole

[Verse 3]
She's wrestled with the meaning, laid it down and picked it up,
Spilled her belief like water, wondered if it was enough,
She thinks in layers, speaks in truth when she decides to speak,
And every word she finally gives is one the whole room needs to keep,
She's learning she can rest now, that the proving can go still,
That the light she holds for others was always hers to fill

[PreChorus]
The sky has held her story since before she knew her name,
She was never lost, just moving through the fire toward her flame

[Chorus]
Christina, you were written by the long and patient dark,
Every question that went unanswered left a map inside your heart,
You don't need to keep explaining all the depths you hold,
You were always worth the knowing, you were always whole

[Bridge]
The moon has kept your secrets, the roots have held your weight,
You don't arrive by accident, you never were too late,
There is a compass buried deep beneath the life you've made,
And everything you are right now is more than enough today

[Outro]
You were never just the surface, never only what they saw,
You are deep and you are steady, you are enough, all in all
