[Verse 1]
She came into the world before the sun had cleared the hills,
Already carrying the weight of ten thousand iron wills,
A first house packed so full of self it barely held the seams,
A girl who looked the world dead-on and dared it back to dream,
They said she was too loud, too direct, too quick to start the race,
But she was born with all her fire wearing its own face,

[PreChorus]
What they called too much was always just enough,
She learned to trust the charge inside when living got too rough,

[Chorus]
Susan, you came in blazing, no apology, no disguise,
The whole of who you are was written right before your own eyes,
You were the ram who wouldn't turn, who led the whole stampede,
Susan, every door you've kicked wide open — that was you, that was freed,

[Verse 2]
She grew up wise before she earned the right to be,
A mind that moved like rolling stone but slow enough to see,
She'd walk into a room and know the temperature, the tone,
Then hold her own opinion like a hammer to the bone,
She aimed her arrows at the far horizon, high and wide,
And crossed the hardest distances just to see what lived inside,

[PreChorus]
The ones who said she'd gone too far just couldn't see the map,
She didn't lose her way out there — she was filling in the gap,

[Chorus]
Susan, you're the one who drives the distance past the sign,
Who pulls the thread of meaning out until the whole thing shines,
Every truth you chased cross-country left its mark on you,
Susan, what you're built for, you already knew,

[Verse 3]
And now the fullest moon is pulling something loose tonight,
A tide of old belonging finally releasing from its bite,
The home she built inside herself has cracked along the floor,
But cracks are where she clears the space for what she's heading toward,
What she gave away like bread all those years without a name —
She's setting down the empty basket and she's standing in her flame,

[PreChorus]
The eclipse above is asking what she's held beyond its use,
The answer rising in her chest is finally cut loose,

[Chorus]
Susan, let the old sky fall and watch the new one rise for you,
Every bond you're laying down has done everything it could do,
The first voice you were born with is the one that knows the road,
Susan, put your name on what is yours and drop the borrowed load,

[Bridge]
She never needed someone else to strike the starting gun,
The wound around her agency dissolved when she'd begun,
To stand in her own threshold with no footnote and no clause,
And choose the next horizon for no reason but because,

[Outro]
Susan, you were always this — the bolt before the rain,
The story that rewrites itself and burns away the strain,
Every sky you've walked beneath was practice for this one,
Now watch what happens, Susan, when you run,
