[Verse 1]
She reads the room before she's crossed the door,
Her mind already three ideas ahead, maybe four,
A notebook full of threads she's still untangling,
The kind of thoughts that keep a whole crowd gathering,
But underneath the wit, a quieter question lived —
Does anyone see all I carry while I give?

[PreChorus]
She built her ground on words instead of stone,
And every conversation kept her less alone,

[Chorus]
Tina, you were wired to move at the speed of thought,
Every bridge you've built was harder than it looked,
The talk you gave that changed the room — that counts,
Tina, that's the well that never runs out,

[Verse 2]
She's held the tension between the dream and the due,
One hand on what she owes, one on what she knew was true,
The ledger she kept balanced through the leaner years,
The ideals she defended through the louder fears,
Her love runs deep as conversation — quick, then still,
A word placed right at midnight saying I see you, and I will,

[PreChorus]
She never needed someone loud to feel the pull,
She needed someone curious, someone full,

[Chorus]
Tina, every fire you kept alive through doubt,
Every rally cry you gave when hope grew thin,
The table that you set for strangers coming in —
Tina, that's where all the healing will begin,

[Verse 3]
Something's shifting in the space between her ribs,
The permission she kept giving out, she gets to keep some,
The draft she's written forty times is finally done,
She's not here to prove a thing beneath the afternoon sun,
The cause that drove her forward is her own name now,
She spent so long correcting others — she can take the bow,

[PreChorus]
The sky above the flatlands held her all along,
Every word she ever gave away was always song,

[Chorus]
Tina, let the next chapter open on your terms,
Not the version they applauded when you played it small,
Every question you kept asking lit a corridor —
Tina, you were always worth the walking for,

[Bridge]
She doesn't have to fix what's whole to feel at home,
The ideas that survived the silence were the truest ones she's known,
What she called a detour was the road she always chose,
The woman with a thousand thoughts — she's ready now to close,

[Outro]
Tina, let your stars speak loud and clear,
Everything you built from words — it started here,
