[Verse 1]
There's a scale inside you always finding level ground,
A mind that turns each question over, weighing every sound,
You read a room before you enter, feel before you speak,
They see the grace, they miss the current running strong and deep,
You've learned to hold the world together with a steady hand,
While quietly wondering if anyone will understand.

[PreChorus]
You carry more than anyone has bothered yet to see,
A compass pointing outward while you're searching to be free.

[Chorus]
Diane, you are the balance and the storm,
The quiet room, the fire keeping everyone warm,
Written in the sky before the world knew your name,
You were never ordinary, you were never the same.

[Verse 2]
You love in careful details, in the things you don't say out loud,
In showing up with steady hands beneath somebody's cloud,
You've searched for something real and true in everyone you've met,
A soul-deep kind of connection you haven't given up on yet,
You give before you're asked to give, you stay when others leave,
And sometimes you forget that you deserve what you believe.

[PreChorus]
The heart that holds the world at bay still longs to be held too,
That longing isn't weakness — it's the truest part of you.

[Chorus]
Diane, you are the balance and the storm,
The quiet room, the fire keeping everyone warm,
Written in the sky before the world knew your name,
You were never ordinary, you were never the same.

[Verse 3]
There's a horizon calling in the marrow of your bones,
A restless kind of knowing that you've never quite called home,
You've pulled apart the stories that the world tried to sell,
And built your own philosophy from what you know so well,
The way you chase the meaning past the surface of things,
Is the most courageous journey that nobody ever sees.

[PreChorus]
You don't need to be finished, you don't need to have it all,
The reaching is the living, and the living is the call.

[Chorus]
Diane, you are the balance and the storm,
The quiet room, the fire keeping everyone warm,
Written in the sky before the world knew your name,
You were never ordinary, you were never the same.

[Verse 4]
The wound around your voice — the fear of being misread —
Has kept a thousand true things locked inside your head,
But every word you've trusted to the air has landed true,
And the world has always needed the perspective that is you,
You've turned your depth to purpose and your doubt into a door,
You are not too much — you've never once been less than more.

[PreChorus]
The stars don't write in accidents, they write in patient light,
And everything you carry was already mapped just right.

[Chorus]
Diane, you are the balance and the storm,
The quiet room, the fire keeping everyone warm,
Written in the sky before the world knew your name,
You were never ordinary, you were never the same.

[Bridge]
You are held by something older than the oldest fear you know,
Every scar became the lantern, every doubt became the glow,
You are free to stop the proving, free to finally rest,
The cosmos wrote you carefully — and what it wrote was blessed.

[Outro]
So stand inside your wholeness, let the scales come to peace,
Diane, you were always enough — you were always complete.
