[Verse 1]
She came into this world with the volume turned all the way up,
Every feeling on her face before she'd even filled her cup,
Born to stand where everyone could see, beneath an open sky,
A voice that carried farther than she ever meant to fly,
The ones who called her "too much" just couldn't hold the scope,
She wasn't made to whisper — she was made to give them hope,

[PreChorus]
But the weight of her own wanting pressed against her chest,
She kept giving out the compass while she swallowed her own west,

[Chorus]
Christine, you were built for open ground,
Not the corner where they told you to stay small and turn around,
Every truth you spoke was armor, every mile was a door,
Christine, you don't dim for anyone — that's what you're for,

[Verse 2]
She counts devotion like a ledger, slow and sure and long,
Takes the better part of seasons just to trust enough to belong,
When she finally lets someone past the gate she keeps inside,
That love doesn't waver — it's the kind that doesn't hide,
She's learned to watch a partnership the way a builder reads a wall,
Every crack a conversation, never walking til she's called,

[PreChorus]
There's a restlessness beneath the steadiness she shows,
A pull toward every far horizon only she fully knows,

[Chorus]
Christine, the road was always wider than they said,
Every border crossed in daylight, every question left well-fed,
The loyalty you carry is your compass and your claim,
Christine, the ones who matched your honesty — they stayed,

[Verse 3]
She spent years running toward the answers just beyond the ridge,
Built her understanding not from textbooks but from every bridge,
And somewhere in the searching she picked up the world's ache,
Carried strangers' grief like pebbles in her pocket by the lake,
Now a shift is moving through the way she frames her days,
New words rising for the things she's known in a hundred different ways,

[PreChorus]
What she named in half-formed sentences is sharpening to song,
The map she drew in fragments is exactly where she belongs,

[Chorus]
Christine, every question was a door you had to knock,
Every truth you went to find is now the hand that turns the lock,
The searching wasn't wandering — it was how you earned your ground,
Christine, the whole wide world leaned in to hear the sound,

[Bridge]
She thought the pull in two directions meant that something in her broke,
But the arrow pointing inward was the truest thing she spoke,
Now she plants her flag on her own terms, steady, unafraid,
This is the life she argued for — this is the life she made,

[Outro]
Christine, walk tall across the open ground,
Every fire that you've carried is the light they gather round,
