[Verse 1]
She's the one who reads the manual twice, gets every detail right,
Who maps the longer road to make sure everyone arrives tonight,
She filed away her own questions in a drawer she never named,
Kept the household running smooth while her own compass went unclaimed,
Her feelings run so deep they need a vault just to contain,
But still she shows up, steady, like a table set against the rain

[PreChorus]
The search for meaning burned inside her like a lamp she couldn't douse,
She carried wisdom meant for many in a quietly ordered house

[Chorus]
Dianne, the record of you reads like more than you have known,
Every careful word you've chosen, every seed of truth you've sown,
The depth you guard so privately is not a debt you owe,
Dianne, the whole sky marked the moment — let that finally show

[Verse 2]
She loves the way a library loves a book no one has read,
Grand and generous and glowing, keeping faith with what she said,
She'll cross a cultural border just to find where beauty grows,
Her loyalty runs deeper than the loyalty she shows,
She poured her whole heart into work she feared would go unseen,
Not knowing that the pouring was the most extraordinary thing

[PreChorus]
Between the urge to leap and the resolve to hold the line,
She forged a steadiness that isn't caution — it's design

[Chorus]
Dianne, the record of you is longer than your doubts,
Every room you made more honest, every weight you lifted out,
That penetrating mind of yours has always known the score,
Dianne, stop writing footnotes — you were always worth the floor

[Verse 3]
Now something old is loosening its hold beneath a swollen sky,
A full release like shelves decluttered, nothing left to justify,
The perfectionist, the pilgrim, and the anchor finally agree
That the structure she built for others was a structure meant to free,
The investigator in her turns at last to her own door,
Finds the evidence has always been exactly what she's for

[PreChorus]
The tide of letting go is not a loss — it's clearing ground,
For the version of her that was always waiting to be found

[Chorus]
Dianne, the full moon answers what you asked but couldn't say,
Every layer you've been shedding was just scaffolding away,
What remains is someone rarer than she ever dared to trust,
Dianne, the stars were never silent — they were gathering for this

[Bridge]
She sorted through the family noise to find her own true thread,
She turned the healer's eye inward, chose aliveness over dread,
The joyful maker in her wakes and doesn't ask permission,
What was called a quiet life was always a precise decision

[Outro]
The record's been speaking, Dianne, all along,
And everything written spells capable and strong
