[Verse 1]
She came in running, first out of the gate,
A performer by nature, born to create,
The stage of her life lit by her own hand,
She wrote every line and she built where she'd stand,
But the heart she kept hidden behind midnight's door
Held a longing for balance she'd been searching for

[PreChorus]
She carried the tension of two truths at war,
The blazing and the aching, and she bore both before

[Chorus]
Rise up, Debbie, the full moon's breaking through,
Every door you ever forced is proof of you,
The fire in your making was never meant to wait,
Rise up, Debbie, step into what you create

[Verse 2]
She built her belief like a ledger she'd keep,
Each conviction she earned was a promise too deep,
The dogmas she grew up in couldn't hold her in place,
She crossed every border to find her own grace,
And the questions she carried were never a flaw —
They carved out the compass that showed her what's true

[PreChorus]
She stood at every threshold and chose not to retreat,
Her discipline the ladder, her courage was the feat

[Chorus]
Burn brighter, Debbie, you were forged not just born,
Every sharp edge on you came from something you've worn,
Your devotion runs deeper than anything they've named,
Burn brighter, Debbie, own the whole brilliant flame

[Verse 3]
The home that she dreamed of she had to build twice,
The first one fell short and she paid the full price,
But she laid every stone with a steadier hand,
And the life that she chose was the life that she planned,
She loved in the language of permanence and touch,
One person completely — she never needs much

[PreChorus]
The full moon she's carried since the hour she drew breath
Now rises in answer to every step she kept

[Chorus]
Stand tall now, Debbie, what you've made is real,
The creative fire in you is yours to reveal,
You learned which truth was worth the cost to keep,
Stand tall now, Debbie, the harvest runs that deep

[Bridge]
She never stopped building when no one could see,
She chose the true north over what they told her to be,
The interrupted roads, the restarts, the long climb —
All of it hers, every proof of every line

[Outro]
The full moon rises and it calls her name,
Debbie, you were the light inside the flame,
Go louder, go further, go fully — you're free,
You were always exactly who you came here to be
