[Verse 1]
She came out swinging, first word was a call to lead,
Four bodies crowded at the top — heart, mind, and creed,
The whole world watching from the moment she arrived,
She didn't ask permission, she was built to drive,
But even the boldest runner needs a second breath,
And she kept moving forward, putting doubt to death,

[PreChorus]
The loudest voices told her she was burning too hot,
She looked them in the eye and gave everything she'd got,

[Chorus]
Jan, you were made to stand where the whole sky could see,
Not half a voice, not half a want — the full degree,
They said the room was taken, you rewrote the door,
Jan, you don't ask for the floor — you own it, and more,

[Verse 2]
She carried a contradiction deep inside her chest,
The part that wants to tear it down, the part that builds the best,
A mind that moves like lightning through a tangled wire,
Cutting straight to what is true, not circling the fire,
She spoke the words that others only thought to say,
And when she loved, she didn't hedge — she meant it all the way,

[PreChorus]
The push and pull of duty versus what she knew was right,
Taught her how to hold her ground through every restless night,

[Chorus]
Jan, every door you shouldered through was yours to break,
Every word you fired first was real, not a mistake,
They measured you in moments that you'd long outgrown,
Jan, you were never following — you set the tone,

[Verse 3]
There's a seeker living in her, something vast and unresolved,
A question that no handed-down answer ever fully solved,
She built her own philosophy from fracture and from fact,
From every time the ground gave way and still she came back,
And when that rounded full moon floods the open sky,
It finds her face already turned upward, bright, and high,

[PreChorus]
She didn't need the world to hand her certainty or proof,
Her own hard-earned conviction was enough of a roof,

[Chorus]
Jan, the sky above Ohio always knew your name,
Every bold beginning you ignited was your claim,
They tried to fit you into frames too narrow and too thin,
Jan, the anthem you were born to lead starts from within,

[Bridge]
She gave her whole heart forward without waiting to be found,
She rebuilt what got scattered and she stood on her own ground,
The daughter, then the mother, then the force no one could fold,
Every chapter she authored was the bravest one she'd told,

[Outro]
Jan, this is the full song the stars have always sung for you,
Every charge you led, every door you blew right through,
The sky goes on revealing all the fire that you are,
Jan, you were never small — you were always the star,
