[Verse 1]
She learned to carry weight before she learned her name,
Born with iron in her spine and a pioneer's flame,
Old soul in a young face, she matured before her time,
Felt the pull to push ahead and stake her claim and climb,
But underneath the forward charge, a tenderness runs deep,
A home-fire in the hollow chest she's long been asked to keep.

[PreChorus]
She holds the whole world steady with a disciplined hand,
A dreamer with a soldier's will, she's built on shifting sand.

[Chorus]
Geri, you were forged from more than struggle and from stone,
Every door you opened wide, you opened on your own,
The courage that you carried — it was never yours to prove,
Geri, let the eclipse burn through, it's finally time to move.

[Verse 2]
She thinks in visions no one else can fully translate,
Her finest words stay tucked behind a door she won't unlock straight,
A mind that blueprints better worlds in the quiet before dawn,
She drafts the letter, reads it twice, and keeps it — never gone,
Her loyalty's not spoken, it's a room she keeps well-lit,
An unconventional devotion no convention name could fit.

[PreChorus]
She gives the kind of love that asks for nothing in return,
But the map she drew for everyone has edges left to learn.

[Chorus]
Geri, you were written in a language wide and rare,
Every truth you kept inside deserves to fill the air,
The vision that you safeguard in the silence — let it through,
Geri, let the eclipse burn wide, the day was made for you.

[Verse 3]
She's been the anchor of the house, the root beneath the floor,
The one they call at midnight and the one who answers more,
Her emotional inheritance runs deep as buried creek,
She tends the family altar for the ones who cannot speak,
But tending every other hearth left her own cold and bare,
She's learning now to stoke the coals she has a right to share.

[PreChorus]
The healer's hardest lesson is accepting her own care,
That the light she gives so freely is a light she's meant to wear.

[Chorus]
Geri, you were never just the ground beneath their feet,
You're the one who builds the table and deserves the honored seat,
The warmth you poured in every cup comes back to fill your own,
Geri, let the eclipse blaze down — you've never stood alone.

[Verse 4]
Now a great revealing tears across the summer sky above,
Like a curtain ripped back mid-scene from the life she's dreaming of,
Every mask she wore for peace and every deal she made with doubt,
Every shrinking, second-guessing — it's all burning itself out,
The pioneer is waking in the body of the sage,
Geri steps into the clearing, steps forward, turns the page.

[PreChorus]
The version she kept buried is the one they need to see,
She doesn't have to earn the right to finally just be free.

[Chorus]
Geri, you were always more than what you let them know,
Every seed you pressed in silence has been waiting here to grow,
The liberating fire falls and finds you standing tall,
Geri, this is your eclipse — the boldest day of all.

[Bridge]
She spent so long becoming what the moment seemed to need,
She forgot the simple fury of a self-determined creed,
But something in the structure of her bones has always known —
The throne was never out there waiting, it was always her own.

[Outro]
Geri, step into the open with your full name claimed aloud,
The eclipse already named you — say it clear and say it proud.
