[Verse 1]
She was born where the family table holds the answers,
Where the past writes itself into the way she stands,
Her mind runs ahead of the room like a blueprint,
Connecting the dots others don't understand,
She carries the whole history of a household in her chest,
An original thinker who first learned to think at rest

[PreChorus]
But the public eye has always heard her heartbeat,
Her feelings don't stay quiet, they find every seat

[Chorus]
Kerry, you were built from something older than approval,
The tension in your chest was never a removal,
Full moon daughter, two sides holding true,
Kerry, the whole sky organized itself for you

[Verse 2]
She sees the best in people past the point they've earned it,
A love like open water, something close to faith,
She memorized the language of a nearly-perfect gesture,
The handwritten note, the meal left on the plate,
But every time she opened up, the door felt dangerous,
So she kept the deadbolt polished while she waited at the fence

[PreChorus]
Still her presence in a room rearranges all the furniture,
Magnetic and unmistakable, nothing counterfeit or premature

[Chorus]
Kerry, every person that you've loved has felt it,
The grace you pour out freely, even cracked and split,
Full moon daughter, what you give comes back around,
Kerry, the ones who truly see you, they have always been around

[Verse 3]
She rallied for the causes that the crowd forgot to finish,
She organized the voices when the room had lost its nerve,
There's a fire in her convictions that burns clean and precise,
Every detail in its place, no energy goes unreserved,
Yet underneath the discipline she kept a secret theater,
A poet's intuition dressed in practical demeanor

[PreChorus]
She spoke the kind of truth that settles into people's bones,
Words rooted in the privacy of everything she'd known

[Chorus]
Kerry, your precision and your vision live together,
The visionary and the craftsman in one tether,
Full moon daughter, let the curtain open wide,
Kerry, the stage was always big enough to hold your pride

[Verse 4]
There's a full moon on its way that she was always written into,
Revealing what the careful years were quietly preparing,
The daughter that a mother searches her own memory to recognize,
The version of herself she kept on bravely reappearing,
She doesn't need the mirror to confirm what she already knows,
The woman in the doorway is the one that history chose

[PreChorus]
And everything that asked her to diminish or sit small,
Was just the friction that was sharpening her all along

[Chorus]
Kerry, the story wasn't finished when it staggered,
Nothing that was broken made the blueprint scattered,
Full moon daughter, claim the voice that's yours alone,
Kerry, every road you walked was leading you back home

[Bridge]
She built a life from the blueprint of her origins,
Rewired the inheritance, kept the love, discarded the thorns,
The mother watching knows the girl became the vision,
Not despite the complexity, but forged in all its forms

[Outro]
Kerry, the full moon rises just the way you do,
Whole and bright and certain, undivided, true
