[Verse 1]
She learned to read a room before she learned to read her name,
Her feelings worn like weather on her face, no need to explain,
She'd pour herself into the work, the craft, the task at hand,
Find purpose in the doing, in the helping, in the plan,
But somewhere past the halfway mark, the compass needle spun,
And she stood in her own doorway asking — what am I becoming?

[PreChorus]
The answer isn't buried in the years already gone,
It's moving through the marrow of the road she's standing on,

[Chorus]
Kris, you were built to be more than the sum of what you've served,
There's a calling in your courage that the world hasn't yet heard,
You're the bold and careful architect of something still being made,
Kris, step forward into your own light — you were never meant for shade,

[Verse 2]
She loves the way the underdog feels when someone finally sees,
She leads with her whole heart first and asks questions after, please,
She'll tell you the hard truth wrapped in something warm and clear,
And when she believes in you, she makes the path appear,
She's carried others' visions like a lantern through the fog,
Now it's time to build the thing she's only sketched inside her log,

[PreChorus]
The blueprint's been inside her every time she said "not yet,"
Every door she held for others — she hasn't opened hers, not yet,

[Chorus]
Kris, your purpose isn't hiding in some distant promised land,
It lives in the precision of the work done by your hand,
You're the one who mends what's broken and illuminates the hall,
Kris, the stage has had your name on it — you just forgot to call,

[Verse 3]
A lunar fullness cracks the sky and something starts to shed,
The old agreements, borrowed roles, the "should haves" left unsaid,
What falls away is not her — it's the armor she outgrew,
The version shaped by duty when the deepest self broke through,
She asks the question out loud now, steady, unafraid —
Not who do they need me to be, but what was I born to create?

[PreChorus]
The answer rises sure and clean, a bell struck in the bone,
Service isn't sacrifice when the gift is truly her own,

[Chorus]
Kris, this is the opening, the fullest you have been,
You've been learning how to serve — now lead with everything you've seen,
You are healer, you are builder, you're the voice that won't stand down,
Kris, your second chapter opens now — go on and claim your ground,

[Bridge]
She stopped rewriting other people's stories on the page,
Picked up her own pen, walked to the center of the stage,
Not because the world demanded it or loss had worn her down —
Because the truest work of her life was finally, finally found,

[Outro]
Kris, the compass always knew your north,
Now is the hour — go bring it forth,
