[Verse 1]
She reads the room before a word is spoken,
sees what's whole in things the world calls broken,
a mind like deep water, still on the face,
pulling the truth from its hiding place,
she carries her knowing like an old stone wall,
quiet and steady and strong through it all

[PreChorus]
But the tide she holds inside runs wide and far,
there's an ocean underneath that scar

[Chorus]
Let the stars speak, Janis, let them call your name,
you were written in the sky before you came,
every depth you've walked through, every door you've barred,
the cosmos knew your heart before the world knew how hard

[Verse 2]
She loves like a covenant, rarely confessed,
gives the warmth of a hearthfire to everyone's rest,
builds a home with her hands and her care and her time,
puts the people she loves over her own design,
but beneath all that giving a hunger remains,
to be held just as fiercely as she holds through the pain

[PreChorus]
She's been seen for the surface, not the deep,
and the best parts of her run fathoms beneath

[Chorus]
Let the stars speak, Janis, let them call your name,
you were written in the sky before you came,
every depth you've walked through, every door you've barred,
the cosmos knew your heart before the world knew how hard

[Verse 3]
She has stood on the edge of what trust could mean,
and learned which bridges burn and which ones to keep clean,
there's a wound that the world never quite got to see,
turned to a lantern for others who need,
her strength wasn't given, it was earned through the fire,
and what she became is something the stars would admire

[PreChorus]
The roots beneath her reach down through the stone,
she was never as lost as she felt all alone

[Chorus]
Let the stars speak, Janis, let them call your name,
you were written in the sky before you came,
every depth you've walked through, every door you've barred,
the cosmos knew your heart before the world knew how hard

[Bridge]
A new moon is rising with nothing to prove,
the light that was hidden is finding its groove,
what was buried comes breathing, what was silence becomes song,
she was always enough, she has been all along

[Outro]
Let the stars speak, let the night run deep,
Janis, you are more than you believe,
the sky remembers everything you've given and you've grown,
and it wrote you down in light so you would know you're not alone
