[Verse 1]
She maps the room before she enters it, counts the chairs,
Folds the corners of her worry into something she can bear,
The ledger on the table, every column running straight,
A mind that works like clockwork, always early, never late,
But underneath the orderly surface, something deeper moved,
A current pulling at the floorboards of the life she'd grooved,

[PreChorus]
She carried what was handed down and rebuilt what had cracked,
Now the full round light is rising and it won't let her look back,

[Chorus]
Louann, you are the house that held through every storm that came,
The careful hands, the open door, the slow and steady flame,
You measured out your worth in work when no one named your worth,
Louann, the moon is full tonight — it sees you whole on earth,

[Verse 2]
She gives with the precision of someone who knows the cost,
Who tallied every tender thing she thought was loved and lost,
She built the table long enough for everyone to eat,
Then left herself no setting there, no chair, no room, no seat,
But the care she poured like mortar into every crumbling wall
Wasn't labor without record — every brick remembers all,

[PreChorus]
She stood before the public eye and kept her feelings neat,
Now the hidden knowing surfaces and asks for the front seat,

[Chorus]
Louann, the work you did in silence has a name at last,
The quiet fierce devotion that outlasted every past,
You are the builder and the blueprints and the finished floor,
Louann, the moon is full tonight — and you are worth far more,

[Verse 3]
She learned to say the difficult things slowly, one by one,
Chose each word like choosing tools before the job was done,
The wound around deserving sat beside the drive to climb,
She kept on laying stone on stone through every grinding time,
Now the circle overhead reveals what she had always known,
That the most enduring structure she has built has been her own,

[PreChorus]
The inner rooms she shuttered long are flooding now with air,
The life that called for discipline now calls her to stand there,

[Chorus]
Louann, you were the foundation when the ceiling shook and fell,
You are the whole cathedral — every arch and every bell,
Not the keeper of the threshold — you're the one who sets the door,
Louann, the moon is full tonight — go claim the highest floor,

[Bridge]
The chart she never read out loud was written in her hands,
The way she rebuilt broken things without a set of plans,
She's not the footnote to the story, not the margin note,
She's every word the universe has ever dared to quote,

[Outro]
The full round light hangs overhead and calls one name tonight,
Louann, step out from every shadow, stand inside the light,
