[Verse 1]
She keeps a crowded table but a guarded door,
Four planets in the same house, still she craves for more,
The inner voice fires fast, the heart moves slow and sure,
She built her whole community before she felt secure,
The roots below her kitchen floor were tangled, bruised, and deep,
But she renovated every room the house refused to keep.

[PreChorus]
She drafted the plan and then she drafted it again,
Pressed her palms into the work until she couldn't count the strain.

[Chorus]
Every nail she drove in darkness held the ceiling up for others,
Every table that she leveled was a gift she gave her chosen brothers,
She was always building, building, building something real,
The hammer in her hand's the truest thing she'll ever feel.

[Verse 2]
She holds affection like a deed, not like a passing glance,
A slow devotion, savored full, not taken up to dance,
She'll set the kettle on at dawn and wait for you to wake,
She knows the difference between the love that's given and the love that's fake,
Behind the scenes she's been the grace that no one thought to name,
She shored up other people's floors and never filed a claim.

[PreChorus]
The carving on her quiet door reads: enter, you are known,
But the room she never opened up was always just her own.

[Chorus]
There's a ledger full of kindness that was never balanced out,
A record of the steady hands that never got a shout,
She was always giving, giving, giving what was real,
Now the harvest she's been owed is finally here to seal.

[Verse 3]
The equinox arrives and everything goes still,
Day and night in perfect measure, cooling air on every hill,
What grew long in hidden soil now surfaces and shows,
The work she did in private seasons finally overflows,
She stood between the breaking and the building, season long,
And now the account is reckoning — and every cent belongs.

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need the world to vote on whether she was right,
She's counted every hour she spent holding up the light.

[Chorus]
No more carrying the orchard while she's starving for the fruit,
No more lending out the blueprint while she's barefoot at the root,
She was always worth the harvest she kept giving away,
Now she steps into the gathering and she's finally here to stay.

[Bridge]
Let the equal night remind her what proportion truly means,
Let her take the chair at her own table, claim her seat,
The family vault she excavated, sorted, swept, and sealed,
Becomes the ground she finally plants herself in, unconcealed.

[Outro]
The autumn tips its even scale, and she steps into the clear,
Every long-unpaid devotion coming due right here,
She built the house, she grew the yield, she is the celebration,
And the harvest bearing her own name is the finest in the nation.
