[Verse 1]
She built her house from the inside out, board by board,
Every room a promise she made and kept and stored,
Three planets deep in the foundation, holding the frame,
She learned early that the walls won't stand unless she came,
The family she shaped was the work she chose first,
She poured herself into it like water into thirst,

[PreChorus]
But a builder reads blueprints the whole world leaves behind,
And she's been drafting something grander in the back of her mind,

[Chorus]
Jen, you are the structure and the dream inside the wall,
You raised the roof on everything before you heard the call,
The equinox is turning and the measure's coming due,
Jen, every nail you ever drove was always driving you,

[Verse 2]
She thinks in wide horizons but she works in careful rows,
The vision reaches everywhere, the hands stay close to home,
She wants to name the pattern that connects the grain to grace,
To say it plain enough that someone else can find their place,
The story that she carries needs a listener, not a shelf,
The biggest thing she's building now is learning to tell it herself,

[PreChorus]
There's a version of her standing at the front of a room,
Translating all she knows into the language of noon,

[Chorus]
Jen, you are the compass and the country yet to find,
You've mapped the whole interior of everyone's design,
The equinox is settling what the long year held in store,
Jen, what you've always understood is worth saying once more,

[Verse 3]
She doesn't love you lightly, doesn't love you close and safe,
She loves you like she's handing you the key to every place,
The kind of love that builds a door where there was only wall,
That stays when staying costs her and doesn't keep the toll,
She'll go all in or not at all, no halfway, no pretend,
She guards what she has opened with a patience without end,

[PreChorus]
And she holds the contradiction like a lantern in the rain,
The warmth won't ask for shelter and the fire won't complain,

[Chorus]
Jen, you were forged in discipline and softened into gold,
The home you made for others is a story to be told,
The equinox brings balance to the giving and the kept,
Jen, there is a harvest here for every promise you have kept,

[Verse 4]
The ideals she's been carrying since before she had the words,
The society she sketched out on the margins of the world,
She stood outside the circle drawing blueprints for the door,
The outsider who kept arriving with enough for everyone more,
The wound of almost-belonging made her build the table wide,
Now the autumn asks her: when did you last pull up a chair inside?

[PreChorus]
The equinox doesn't ask you what you've given or you've stored,
It only asks if you have sat at your own table, at your board,

[Chorus]
Jen, you are the vision and the village you designed,
The one who drew the map and somehow left herself behind,
The equinox is calling what the long summer deferred,
Jen, it's time the anthem that you wrote for others is heard,

[Bridge]
The third draft is the honest one, the one she doesn't send,
The ledger finally balances when she stops hiding the pen,
She counted every cost for them and never filed her own,
The harvest is the moment that she claims what she has sown,

[Outro]
Jen, the equinox has found you at the turning of the year,
Every careful thing you've built has brought you here,
The table you constructed has a place set just for you,
Step in, Jen — the work you've done is true,
