[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface, but the current runs bone-deep,
A mind that won't stop turning when the rest of the world's asleep,
You've mapped the whole horizon with a steady, knowing eye,
Built something worth believing in while lightning crossed the sky,
You hold the contradictions like they're old familiar friends,
The one who breaks the pattern and the one who never bends

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those fathoms you've been carrying inside

[Chorus]
Joni, you were written in a language all your own,
Every fracture in the foundation made you something carved from stone,
You don't need to earn your place here, it was yours before you tried,
You are the depth, you are the current, you are the whole damn tide

[Verse 2]
You love like someone ancient loves, with everything at stake,
All or nothing, no half measures, no pretending it's not real,
You've given rooms inside yourself that no one thought to feel,
And wondered in the quiet if your worth was hard to see,
But every wall you've ever built was just your heart's debris

[PreChorus]
The ache you carry isn't weakness, it's the weight,
Of someone made to feel things others can't translate

[Chorus]
Joni, you were written in a language all your own,
Every fracture in the foundation made you something carved from stone,
You don't need to earn your place here, it was yours before you tried,
You are the depth, you are the current, you are the whole damn tide

[Verse 3]
There's a fire that moves in you before the world can catch its breath,
Quick and bright and restless, chasing meaning past the edge,
You've stood inside the burning and came out with clearer eyes,
The kind of transformation that doesn't need to be disguised,
The world keeps what you carry in the places you have touched,
A quiet force of nature that was never asking much

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
You are exactly, entirely, what you were made

[Chorus]
Joni, you were written in a language all your own,
Every fracture in the foundation made you something carved from stone,
You don't need to earn your place here, it was yours before you tried,
You are the depth, you are the current, you are the whole damn tide

[Bridge]
The sky above you has been watching since the very start,
Every scar became a story, every wound became a chart,
You were never lost, you were always in the finding,
And the light you keep for others is the light that's been guiding

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you were never incomplete,
Joni, you were always whole, you were always enough,
The stars don't make mistakes, and they made you
