[Verse 1]
She came in knowing things that no one taught her how to know,
A mind that moves like voltage underneath a steady glow,
Two voices in her chest — one building, one demanding proof,
She learned to hold that friction like a keystone holds a roof,
What looked like contradiction was the blueprint of her strength,
She thinks in miles but plants her feet and stays the full length,

[PreChorus]
Every question she survived became a door she opened wide,
Every answer she discovered lives inside,

[Chorus]
Shannon, you were built from more than anyone could see,
The steadiest of structures in the most electric sea,
You held the tension, turned it into something true and bright,
Shannon, you have always been your own unfolding light,

[Verse 2]
She steps into a room and something shifts in how it breathes,
She carries grace like dignity she never had to seize,
Her heart goes first — full-throttle, honest, unafraid to start,
She never learned to love by halves, she leads straight from the heart,
She sees beneath the surface where the ordinary hides,
And reads the hidden current running under people's tides,

[PreChorus]
Every door she walked through sideways, she walked through it whole,
Every thing she chose to stay for shaped her soul,

[Chorus]
Shannon, you were forged in what the easy years could not,
You gave without a ledger, loved without a second thought,
The world received your steadiness and called it just your way,
Shannon, every room you graced remembers what you gave,

[Verse 3]
Now a full and heavy moon hangs bright above the open air,
Revealing what was always true but too long left unclear,
The life she mapped through feeling has a logic all its own,
The wisdom that she carries now was never fully shown,
She dreamed the kind of futures meant for more than just herself,
And built them from the stubbornness to trust her own heartbeat's wealth,

[PreChorus]
Every year the world tried folding her — she kept her crease,
Every revolution brought her closer to release,

[Chorus]
Shannon, this is everything the years were building toward,
You walked through what would break most people, never once ignored,
The rising light is yours to claim, the story yours to tell,
Shannon, you have always known exactly who you are — and well,

[Bridge]
She is the one who sits with truth when everyone wants comfort,
The one who speaks what others think but somehow never murmured,
She held the unresolved and made it livable and real,
The bravest thing she ever did was simply trust what she could feel,

[Outro]
Shannon, this is your unfolding — your rising and your keep,
Everything you've tended to is finally in full reach,
