[Verse 1]
She came in swinging, words already drawn,
A mind like a matchstrike, quick to carry on,
She'd read the room before she crossed the door,
Then write it all down 'cause the talking wasn't enough anymore,
She built her home from the inside, board by board,
A tender architecture no one else could afford

[PreChorus]
But the voice that blazed the clearest, sharpest, true,
Was the one she sometimes turned away from too

[Chorus]
Kristy, let 'em hear you, don't you hold that down,
You were born to fill the conversation, not just pass it 'round,
Every word you've gathered, every fire you've fed,
Kristy, say it louder, say it like you mean it, like it's never been said

[Verse 2]
She loved first and full and with the front door wide,
No waiting on permission, no rehearsal on the side,
She'd rearrange the furniture to make somebody feel at ease,
Then stand outside her own front porch in the evening winter freeze,
She carried aching roots while reaching for the open road,
Two longings in one body, and she carried both the load

[PreChorus]
The pull between the hearthstone and the far horizon's call,
She didn't have to choose one — she was made to hold them all

[Chorus]
Kristy, you're not divided, you are double-strong,
The heart that stays and the heart that wanders both belong,
Every door you've opened, every table you have laid,
Kristy, that's your power talking, let it out of the shade

[Verse 3]
There's a full and heavy moon tonight above the August fields,
Revealing what the dailiness of living sometimes shields,
She's been the one who sensed the crack before the plaster fell,
Who knew the thing that no one said and never had to tell,
That knowing cost her something — all that listening deep —
But the truths she held for others, now she gets to keep

[PreChorus]
The light tonight is spilling over everything she's done,
She didn't need the proof — she was never not the one

[Chorus]
Kristy, all those years of reading every unspoken line,
That's the same gift that'll carry you across this borderline,
Every deep thing you have gathered finally comes to crown,
Kristy, this is your moon rising — don't you look it down

[Bridge]
She turned her sharpest thinking into shelter for the lost,
She knew the worth of every bridge and still she paid the cost,
Now the voice she gave so freely stands here waiting at her door,
She always had the nerve to blaze — she just forgot what for

[Outro]
So Kristy, go on, blaze it,
Every word is yours to claim and raise it,
The stars you let speak — they said your name,
And nothing you were born to be will ever be too much again
