[Verse 1]
She learned early how to read a room before she walked in,
Sun and heart stacked in the house of mirrors, discipline woven in,
A Capricorn shell pressed tight around a tide that ran deep,
The kind of girl who wrote the apology before causing the grief,
Three planets crowded in that seventh mirror, waiting to be known,
Finding out who she was by watching someone else come home.

[PreChorus]
But the fire underneath was never going to stay still,
A roar behind the careful grin, a lion behind the hill.

[Chorus]
Kristine, you were built from both the river and the roar,
The structured hand that held the door and the blaze wanting more,
Every room you walked into you already understood,
Kristine, the stars aligned the night they made you this good.

[Verse 2]
She carries words like river stones, smooth and heavy and true,
Spent years believing she was too much or never quite through,
Her voice would form the careful sentence, second-guessed mid-air,
The ache of being heard wrong despite the tenderness there,
But that same mind that dug beneath the surface, past the seam,
Turned every misread conversation into a sharper dream.

[PreChorus]
The intensity she hid in the deep house found its shape,
Not a wound to be ashamed of — a key to every gate.

[Chorus]
Kristine, you carry what most people never could hold,
The wit that keeps the room alive and the depth below the bold,
Every connection that you've made has been a mirror and a door,
Kristine, you've always been exactly who you're growing toward.

[Verse 3]
Now something in her bones is shifting, a boldness taking ground,
The ember she kept banked and quiet is raising up its sound,
She built her worth on what she gave, on loyalty and care,
But the generous hand must learn to open toward the one who's standing there,
She's not the footnote in the story she's been helping others write,
The chart was never asking her to dim — it said: ignite.

[PreChorus]
The sky above is moving now, the fire takes the field,
This is not a time for holding back what she was born to wield.

[Chorus]
Kristine, the whole long road was steering you right here,
Where the voice stops asking permission and the vision becomes clear,
Every careful year you gave was yours to spend and keep,
Kristine, now let the lion wake — she was never meant to sleep.

[Bridge]
She loved the way a conversation turns into a home,
She built a world for everyone and learned to need her own,
The mirror showed her other faces, patient, clear and wise,
Now it's time she sees the one who's looking through her eyes.

[Outro]
Kristine, the stars that shaped you said: take up your room,
Every hard-earned season was the making of your bloom.
