[Verse 1]
She drew the blueprint before anyone handed her the pen,
Mapped every corridor, then mapped it all again,
A first-house stellium burning like a lantern held inside,
Four bodies stacked at dawn — her purpose couldn't hide,
She showed up fully formed and still the world said, "Wait your turn,"
So she built the table herself and let the slow fire burn,

[PreChorus]
But the heart she keeps across the hall won't let her stand alone,
Every mirror in a partner's face reflects the way she's grown,

[Chorus]
Sandra, you were forged in the long work, not the applause,
Every careful word you chose, every room you held because
someone had to hold it — that was never small,
Sandra, the lantern and the blueprint, you designed it all,

[Verse 2]
She carries an argument between her logic and her gut,
The mind draws crisp conclusions but the feeling won't stay shut,
Seventeen revisions of the thing she meant to say,
The sentence always accurate but never quite conveyed,
Still she kept on writing, kept on reaching for the phrase,
And the words that found her finally were worth the years of haze,

[PreChorus]
She's been pulling at the thread that tells her what is actually true,
Tearing down the catechism just to build a better view,

[Chorus]
Sandra, you were never lost inside the long debate,
Every system that you questioned made the real one something great,
The demolished scaffolding was clearing out the hall,
Sandra, the lantern and the blueprint, you designed it all,

[Verse 3]
Her drive runs in the channels no one ever gets to see,
The conviction in the dark hours, the invisible decree,
She doesn't need the standing crowd to know the work is right,
A hidden engine, steadied by a visionary light,
She moves on something deeper than the task she's handed here,
A cause that pulls her forward even when the road's unclear,

[PreChorus]
And when she loves, she hands you thirty years before hello,
A quiet act of loyalty that only grows below,

[Chorus]
Sandra, every promise that you kept became a cornerstone,
Every steady thing you built for someone else became your own,
The depth that others hesitate to show — you gave it all,
Sandra, the lantern and the blueprint, you designed it all,

[Verse 4]
Now a great light is rising over everything she's known,
Illuminating what she carried and what she has outgrown,
The full round glow pulls forward what was hidden in the seams,
The careful woman, the demolished creeds, the unappointed dreams,
What she revealed to no one she can finally reveal,
The version always present underneath the polished steel,

[PreChorus]
This is not an ending and it's not a second start,
It's the moment Sandra finally leads with Sandra's heart,

[Chorus]
Sandra, every version that you held back has a place to stand,
Every plan you drafted in the dark was always something grand,
The horizon cracked wide open — you can walk through, not just crawl,
Sandra, the lantern and the blueprint — go and build them all,

[Bridge]
She questioned every doctrine, took the long road over ease,
Felt her feelings stall the sentence, felt the restlessness, the freeze,
But the stellium in the first house never flickered, never fell,
She was always the foundation, the foundation held so well,

[Outro]
Sandra, the blueprint's in your hands,
The lantern lit the way — now lead where only Sandra stands,
