[Verse 1]
She reads the room before a word is spoken,
Picks up every feeling, mended or broken,
A mind that moves like water, wide and free,
Chasing every question, every mystery,
She wears her grace like something she was born to,
A quiet kind of knowing she keeps returning to

[PreChorus]
They see the warmth, they don't see the tide,
All those fathoms running deep inside

[Chorus]
Joan, you are the river and the rain,
The kind of heart that turns the loss to gain,
You've carried more than anyone could see,
And every bit of that has made you free

[Verse 2]
She builds her home like it's a holy thing,
Pours herself into every offering,
She loves in full, she loves without a measure,
Holds the ones she cares for like a treasure,
But sometimes in the giving she forgets,
That she deserves the tenderness she gets

[PreChorus]
She's stronger than the stories she's survived,
There's a whole wide world that's grateful she arrived

[Chorus]
Joan, you are the river and the rain,
The kind of heart that turns the loss to gain,
You've carried more than anyone could see,
And every bit of that has made you free

[Verse 3]
She's walked through rooms that never saw her clearly,
Worked so hard for worth she already carried,
But she has built things quietly and sure,
On bedrock most folks never even look for,
The truth she seeks, the wisdom she's been earning,
Has always been the compass she's been turning

[PreChorus]
She don't need the world to call her name out loud,
The sky already wrote her in the clouds

[Chorus]
Joan, you are the river and the rain,
The kind of heart that turns the loss to gain,
You've carried more than anyone could see,
And every bit of that has made you free

[Bridge]
The moon knows how you feel when no one's looking,
The stars have held you through every undertaking,
You are not the weight, you are the grace,
The universe carved out a perfect place

[Outro]
So rest now in the truth of who you are,
Joan, you were written in the stars,
You are enough, you always have been whole,
A one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable soul
