[Verse 1]
She built her world from the inside out, from the root,
Every memory pressed like a flower, every truth
Soaked into the floorboards of the place she calls her own,
She carries her people like a photograph, like home
Feels the weight of what was handed down before she could stand,
And still she tends that garden with her bare hands

[PreChorus]
The dreamer and the discipline don't always agree,
But both of them are Farris, and both of them are free

[Chorus]
Farris, you were built for more than holding the line,
Every quiet act of courage was a sign,
Farris, the long road you walked to find your ground,
That's not a woman who's lost — that's a woman who's found

[Verse 2]
Her mind moves in images, in currents, in song,
The thought that won't translate until it's already gone,
Retrograde of the pen, the poem stuck at the seam,
She speaks in metaphor because precision can't hold the dream,
But let her in a room where the conversation runs deep,
And every word she places is a promise she'll keep

[PreChorus]
She reads the undercurrent before anyone speaks a word,
The truest things she's ever said went beautifully unheard

[Chorus]
Farris, there's a voice in you that cuts like a blade,
Sharpened by every question you were afraid to trade,
Farris, the precision others preach is not your art,
Your currency has always been the whole damn heart

[Verse 3]
She loves like a house left open in December, every door,
Like she renovated every room for someone else before
She knew their favorite color — she sees the best that's hidden,
And still she guards her own interior, half-forbidden,
The boundary she won't draw is the map to where she's tender,
She offers everything she has without the full surrender

[PreChorus]
Discipline and devotion fought their battle in the dark,
The one who won was patient, and the one who lost left marks

[Chorus]
Farris, every wall you built was practice, not a cage,
Every year of earned restraint was wisdom, not old age,
Farris, the trust you give so carefully, so true,
Is the rarest kind of currency — it's unmistakably you

[Verse 4]
Now the hour's shifting, the ledger's being cleared,
The language she kept private is the thing the world has feared,
What she knows in feeling, she's learning now to say
In the plain unguarded sentence, in the words of everyday,
She's not arriving — she's been here since the very start,
Just finally letting the outside match what's burning in her heart

[PreChorus]
The soul that walked in circles found the straight and narrow road,
Farris laid the foundation down — now watch her bear no load

[Chorus]
Farris, take the long view you were born to understand,
Every discipline you mastered was a map drawn by your hand,
Farris, the vision and the structure finally agree,
Step into the open — that's where you were meant to be

[Bridge]
She never needed the applause to know the work was real,
She signed her name on everything she built but couldn't feel,
Now the draft she kept rewriting gets to finally leave the drawer,
The woman who proved her worth through doing gets to just be more

[Outro]
Farris, the stars you carry aren't above — they're in your chest,
You've always been the answer and the question and the rest
