[Verse 1]
She carries the whole house in the marrow of her hands,
Rebuilding every room on the blueprint no one planned,
The kitchen table anchor, the door that stays unlocked,
A mind that runs three conversations while the others talk,
She learned to read the temperature before she learned her name,
And every word she's chosen since has carried somebody's pain,

[PreChorus]
But the letter she never sent is written in her bones,
Every truth she swallowed built a language all her own,

[Chorus]
Chris, you were the one who held the walls in place,
The one who found the medicine, who kept the steady pace,
Every door you've opened with the key you forged alone—
Chris, it's time the anthem plays for you to lead you home,

[Verse 2]
She speaks in full paragraphs when most would leave a word,
Her mind a second-storey room where everything gets heard,
She'll sit with someone's wreckage like she paid for her own seat,
Then catalogue the damage and convince it to compete,
She's generous with ceremony, gold in how she gives,
But kept the grandest celebration for the way she lives,

[PreChorus]
She knows the weight of waiting for a verdict that's her due,
The slow accumulation of a credit overdue,

[Chorus]
Chris, you are not the understudy of your own life,
Every scar that you carry cut the pattern, ground the knife,
Every room you rearranged to hold a little more—
Chris, the applause belongs to you, step out from the wings and roar,

[Verse 3]
Now something in the order of her days begins to shift,
The meticulous and faithful getting back a little gift,
The years of invisible labor documented somewhere true,
A recognition coming in that long refused its cue,
She built the kind of discipline that doesn't need a crown,
But a new season's setting up its table, pulling up a chair for her right now,

[PreChorus]
The inner work she carried out in rooms nobody saw—
Is stepping through the doorway into something worth the awe,

[Chorus]
Chris, every careful, steady hour you refused to quit,
Every time you chose integrity when none of it would fit,
That quiet authority you've grown — it's yours, it always was—
Chris, let the record finally show exactly who she does,

[Bridge]
She never needed permission from the loudest voice in town,
She built her standing brick by brick and let the blueprints down,
The sister who rewrote the story no one handed her—
Every draft she burned and started over is the signature,

[Outro]
The stars didn't speak in riddles, Chris,
They wrote your name in work and grit and this—
You are the thing you built when no one watched,
Now watch yourself arrive at what you've always sought,
