[Verse 1]
She's built her whole life on the bones of what came before,
The family table, the heirloom she keeps in the bottom drawer,
Her mind moves fast, the first words already out the door,
But the ones she turns over at midnight cut straight to the core,
She learned early that safety means something you build with your hands,
So she stacked every brick like her life depended on where she stands,

[PreChorus]
But a fire doesn't wait to be given permission to blaze,
And Loretta was never made small, she was made to amaze,

[Chorus]
Loretta, the ram at the ridge line won't be turned around,
You were forged where the family roots go deep in the ground,
Every door that swung shut just directed your force,
Loretta, you are the fire and you are the source,

[Verse 2]
She keeps score on herself with a ledger nobody else gets to see,
Tallying up what she gave, what she earned, what it cost to be free,
But the way she loves — she hands you the last of the bread without thought,
Sees the grace hiding under the rust in the people she's sought,
She'll guard what is loyal with a discipline carved into bone,
And the circle she trusts is a small one, but she built every stone,

[PreChorus]
A blaze this precise doesn't scatter, it chooses its mark,
And Loretta burns clearest, burns truest, burns brightest in the dark,

[Chorus]
Loretta, she carried the contradictions like a torch through the years,
She never dimmed down for the rooms that were frightened by her,
Every hand that held back was a turn in the road toward her course,
Loretta, you are the fire and you are the force,

[Verse 3]
She's felt the pull between the horizon and the threshold at home,
The wide-open question of how far a woman can roam,
She's mapped out the distance between the dreamer and the done,
Between the fog on the valley and the plain fact of the sun,
The wound in her wallet and the wound in her worth wore the same face,
But she kept building anyway — another rafter, another place,

[PreChorus]
What others called restless, she knew as the engine inside,
What they called too much was just Loretta at full stride,

[Chorus]
Loretta, the full moon is rolling its light over the hill,
Revealing what's always been blazing, alive, burning still,
Every ember you banked in the cold years is ready to pour,
Loretta, you were never the ceiling — you were always the door,

[Verse 4]
Now the round silver light spills across what she's lived and she's known,
Every hard-won conviction, every room she remade her own,
The truth she can't tolerate broken — she cuts off the lie at the root,
The path toward the far ridge was always the one she'd pursue,
She doesn't need the world to hand her the proof of her place,
The charge in her step and the iron in her face,

[PreChorus]
That's not ambition alone, that's a woman who always knew how,
And Loretta, the sky is spelling your name out right now,

[Chorus]
Loretta, the moon hangs full and it knows what you've done,
You blazed through the blueprint they drew and you drafted your own,
Let the whole rolling dark hear the heat of your voice at its core,
Loretta, you were born to be more — and you always were more,

[Bridge]
She never needed the verdict handed down from the crowd,
The ledger she settled was private, the settlement loud,
She rewrote the story beginning with the very first line,
The inheritance she's leaving is a fiercer, truer design,

[Outro]
Loretta, the ridge is still yours, take the road, take the height,
The fire that found you was yours from the very first night,
