[Verse 1]
She heard it young, that pull like a bowstring drawn tight,
A calling burning steady as a lamp left on all night,
She picked up every broken thing and learned to read its scar,
The girl who always knew the wound was not the final bar,
She moves through darkened corridors with a fiddle in her hand,
And every note she draws across those strings maps holy land,

[PreChorus]
She has walked through enough rubble to rebuild a cathedral from,
And every time they said it's done, she had already begun,

[Chorus]
Joanna, you are not the ash, you are the heat that stays,
You've torched your way through countless nights and turned them into days,
Joanna, all the world you're building rises brick by grace,
There's heaven in your hands, love, and you're holding it in place,

[Verse 2]
She writes the words that surgeons miss, the ones beneath the skin,
She knows that merely keeping still was never called a win,
She's been the emotional heartbeat in a room that couldn't hear,
The one who charts the deeper map when everyone steers clear,
Her mind moves like a lantern through a corridor of locked doors,
Until the ones inside them know that they are worth far more,

[PreChorus]
She carries truth the way a bell carries its own sound,
It doesn't ask for silence — it reverberates the ground,

[Chorus]
Joanna, every life you raise was never meant to crawl,
You set the table higher so that no one leaves the hall,
Joanna, justice isn't just a word you keep for prayer,
It's the violin you play at dawn to shake it through the air,

[Verse 3]
She dances like the question and she sings like the reply,
Childlike in one heartbeat, in the next she'll make you cry,
She loves the way a pilgrim loves — not safe but always true,
With arms wide for all creatures and the courage to pursue,
She follows something older than the creeds they tried to sell,
A woman at the garden gate who had her own tale to tell,

[PreChorus]
She's been misread a thousand times by those who measure small,
But she was never meant to fit inside their catalogue at all,

[Chorus]
Joanna, let them see the full cathedral that you are,
You were forged in transformation, not diminished by the scar,
Joanna, every soul you serve reflects the light you bring,
You're the voice inside the silence and the dancer in the string,

[Verse 4]
Now the fullness of a summer moon spills over ancient ground,
And the years of faithful rising make a most triumphant sound,
She painted and she suffered and she opened every door,
A Scottish heart on fire for what this broken world is for,
The work is not yet finished and she knows it in her bones,
But she has never once done any of this work alone,

[PreChorus]
Something greater walks beside her every step she takes,
And the calling on her life is not a burden — it creates,

[Chorus]
Joanna, this is your anthem, every note belongs to you,
The heaven you've been building has been building through you too,
Joanna, you have risen more than even you have known,
Take the violin and play it, love — the whole world is your home,

[Bridge]
She thrives, she does not just survive,
She plants the sunflower seed and watches mercy come alive,
She pours the cup and holds the hand and speaks the truer thing,
She is the joy she swore to sow — let all of Scotland sing,

[Outro]
Joanna, let it ring,
Let all of Scotland sing,
