[Verse 1]
She carries the weight of a thousand unspoken things,
A mind that maps the world while her restless spirit sings,
She finds her worth in quiet rooms, in work done without praise,
Her hands were built for helping, not for standing in the gaze,
There's a fire underneath the calm she wears so effortlessly,
A storm that built a harbor so that others could feel free

[PreChorus]
She's lived between the need to soar and the need to hold the ground,
A searcher always moving toward a meaning to be found

[Chorus]
The stars wrote you in bold and wild and deep, Joyce,
A lion and a wanderer, a question and a choice,
You don't need anyone to tell you what you're worth,
The cosmos mapped your name before you drew your first breath of earth

[Verse 2]
She loves like open country, like a trail that has no end,
She gives before she's asked to give and bends before she'll bend,
She's drawn to souls who match her honesty, who meet her in the wide,
But she's learned to hold a piece of herself close, tucked somewhere deep inside,
The warmth that pours from her so freely came from somewhere that once hurt,
Every open door she offered grew up straight from hallowed dirt

[PreChorus]
She's held the scales of give and take in steady, weathered hands,
She's learned that fairness starts within before it meets demands

[Chorus]
The stars wrote you in bold and wild and deep, Joyce,
A lion and a wanderer, a question and a choice,
You don't need anyone to tell you what you're worth,
The cosmos mapped your name before you drew your first breath of earth

[Verse 3]
She sees the world in metaphors that other people miss,
A mind alive with symbol, a heart alive with this,
She's wrestled in the shadows with the voices no one hears,
She's faced the depth of what she carries and come out past her fears,
There is an alchemy inside her made of everything she's known,
Every silent transformation was a seed that she has sown

[PreChorus]
She's walked the edge of structure and the pull of something more,
A soul who built her freedom from the walls that came before

[Chorus]
The stars wrote you in bold and wild and deep, Joyce,
A lion and a wanderer, a question and a choice,
You don't need anyone to tell you what you're worth,
The cosmos mapped your name before you drew your first breath of earth

[Verse 4]
She's looked at recognition like a language she can't trust,
She poured herself into the work and watched it turn to dust,
But what she built in service, what she gave without a crown,
Is the kind of quiet legacy that doesn't ever come down,
She is not the sum of what was missed or left unseen,
She is every honest moment and the spaces in between

[PreChorus]
The universe was listening each time she chose to rise,
It held her through the unraveling and answered with the skies

[Chorus]
The stars wrote you in bold and wild and deep, Joyce,
A lion and a wanderer, a question and a choice,
You don't need anyone to tell you what you're worth,
The cosmos mapped your name before you drew your first breath of earth

[Bridge]
Let the horizon hold you like it always knew your name,
You were never lost, you were becoming all the same,
The searching was the answer and the wandering was home,
You are fully, wholly, finally not alone

[Outro]
The sky above you carries every version you have been,
And the one you're growing into is the brightest ever seen,
You are held, you are guided, you are enough right here,
Joyce, you were written in the stars, and the message is clear
