[Verse 1]
She keeps her garden close, her roots run underground
A steadiness so deep it barely makes a sound
She reads the room before she ever speaks a word
Carries everyone's unspoken things like songs she's never heard
There's a mind that never stops, connecting every thread
And a heart so full of tending it forgets to tend itself instead

[PreChorus]
They see the stillness, not the current underneath
They see the calm, not what it cost her just to breathe

[Chorus]
Donna, you were written by a patient hand
Every quiet depth in you was part of the plan
The ones who built their worlds on stone know what it means to last
You are more than what you've carried, more than what has passed

[Verse 2]
She loves like something ancient, like a lantern in the cold
Through every door she opens wide, her warmth is what is told
She gives before she's asked, she stays long after dark
But she's learned to guard the tenderest rooms inside her heart
She's drawn to those who carry fire, to love that shakes the ground
And what she offers in return is where the sacred can be found

[PreChorus]
She's looked for home in other people's eyes for far too long
Not knowing she's been the home, the hearth, the living song

[Chorus]
Donna, you were written by a patient hand
Every quiet depth in you was part of the plan
The ones who built their worlds on stone know what it means to last
You are more than what you've carried, more than what has passed

[Verse 3]
She's wrestled with the question of whether she belongs
Stood outside the circles singing someone else's songs
There's a restlessness that lives beside her need for solid ground
A vision running just ahead of where the world is found
But the wound that made her wonder if the world would understand
Became the very gift she holds, the compass in her hand

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need approval for the fire she was born to keep
The path that calls her forward is already hers to meet

[Chorus]
Donna, you were written by a patient hand
Every quiet depth in you was part of the plan
The ones who built their worlds on stone know what it means to last
You are more than what you've carried, more than what has passed

[Verse 4]
She's walked the long road slowly, she has earned every mile
Built her worth in silence with a quiet, certain style
The kind of strength that doesn't shout, that doesn't need applause
That shows up in the daily things, the life lived without pause
She's pulled between the hunger for the wide and open sky
And the roots that hold her holy, asking her to stay and try

[PreChorus]
There is meaning in the distance she has traveled to become
The truest version of herself was never far from home

[Bridge]
The universe did not mistake a single thing about her soul
Every contradiction is a chapter, not a crack, but something whole
She is earth and she is lightning, she is stillness and she is tide
There was never anything in her that needed to be fixed or hide

[Chorus]
Donna, you were written by a patient hand
Every quiet depth in you was part of the plan
The ones who built their worlds on stone know what it means to last
You are more than what you've carried, more than what has passed

[Outro]
The stars knew what they were doing when they placed you here
You are rooted, you are radiant, and everything is clear
You are enough, you always were, right down to the bone
Donna, every road you've ever walked has led you home
