[Verse 1]
She carries the sun in the way that she stands
Light in her voice and fire in her hands
Built for the open, not built for the box
She breaks every mold and she changes the locks
There's a storm in the stillness she shows to the crowd
She thinks in a language that speaks too loud

[PreChorus]
She's read every room before she walks in the door
An old soul who's always been hungry for more

[Chorus]
Shine on, Linda, let the whole world see
You were written in the stars so deliberately
Born to lead and built to feel it all the way through
There's no one alive who was made quite like you

[Verse 2]
She loves in the details, the quiet and true
The note that she left, the small thing she knew
But she's wrestled with wanting and never enough
Tried to smooth all the edges and call herself tough
There's an ache in the places she doesn't explain
But she turned every sorrow to something that stayed

[PreChorus]
She's been carrying currents no one else sees
A river that moves through the roots of the trees

[Chorus]
Shine on, Linda, let the whole world see
You were written in the stars so deliberately
Born to lead and built to feel it all the way through
There's no one alive who was made quite like you

[Verse 3]
She belongs to no border, no ceiling, no wall
She's the one in the room who absorbs it all
Porous and grounded, a paradox rare
A mind like a compass that pulls through the air
She's building a home in a language of light
Making peace with the questions that stayed through the night

[PreChorus]
The world tried to name her, to fit her somewhere
But she always exceeded the frame they prepared

[Chorus]
Shine on, Linda, let the whole world see
You were written in the stars so deliberately
Born to lead and built to feel it all the way through
There's no one alive who was made quite like you

[Bridge]
She doesn't need permission to take up space
The cosmos carved her story with uncommon grace
Every scar holds a lantern, every wound holds a door
She was never too much — she was always the more

[Outro]
So rest in the truth of the life you have made
You are rooted and radiant and nothing will fade
Linda, the stars knew exactly what they were doing
When they gave all of this light to you
