[Verse 1]
She carried the whole house on a Tuesday afternoon,
Rebuilt what crumbled quietly, swept it clean by noon,
Her devotion runs like water through the foundation's cracks,
The kind of love that holds a roof up and never asks it back,
She aimed for something lasting, something visible and true,
Put her name on every effort, every craft she ever grew,

[PreChorus]
But the dreamer and the doer pulled her east and west,
She kept the vision burning while she managed all the rest,

[Chorus]
Cristy, you are the one who stayed and built the thing,
Who poured her whole self into every offering,
You stood at the top of all you made and still felt unseen,
But Cristy, the life you've built is greater than a dream,

[Verse 2]
She dove first into love, no hesitation, no delay,
Led with her whole chest open, never looked the other way,
She chose the ones who widened her, who challenged what she knew,
Crossed new thresholds just to find a bigger version of the truth,
Her passion and her tenderness don't cancel, they combine,
The iron hand, the open door, together they define,

[PreChorus]
She's the emotional anchor for the circles that she keeps,
Giving more than she receives while the hungry current sweeps,

[Chorus]
Cristy, every friendship that you held like sacred ground,
Every time you were the last one left when others turned around,
That loyalty is currency that compounds while you sleep,
Cristy, what you've given out is yours now yours to keep,

[Verse 3]
The childhood home felt blurred at the edges, hard to name,
Something soft and undecided, something not quite tame,
She learned to build the sanctuary that she never had,
Reconstructed room by room the good from all the bad,
Now the threshold of a new and sharpened season calls her near,
Asking her to sort the false from what she holds most dear,

[PreChorus]
She's refined what she has kept and let the rest dissolve,
The inner critic finally bowing to the soul's resolve,

[Chorus]
Cristy, this is where the meticulous heart gets free,
Where the builder stops auditing and simply gets to be,
You mapped the hidden systems, found the seam beneath the stone,
Cristy, the harvest that is coming is entirely your own,

[Bridge]
The ledger she kept so perfectly can finally close,
The tally of what's owed to her is something no one knows,
But the reckoning is quiet, and it comes without a fight,
She kept the record honest and the record turns out right,

[Outro]
Cristy, name the thing you're keeping,
Set the table, stop depleting,
You are what you always tended,
Full and whole and just beginning,
