[Verse 1]
She came into the world already wide awake,
A mind full of blueprints the world hadn't made,
Two currents inside her — the still and the spark,
The structured, the restless, the lamp in the dark,
She catalogued feelings with careful precision,
Then lit the whole room on a singular vision

[PreChorus]
The pull between knowing and what the heart keeps,
The blueprint she drafts for the life that she seeks

[Chorus]
Diane, you were built from the rarest design,
Every fracture in you was a blueprint refined,
The door you kept open when others walked through,
That's not giving yourself away — that is you,
Diane, the whole sky wrote your name in the seam,
You are wider and truer than anything seen

[Verse 2]
She poured herself into the people she claimed,
She carried their sorrow and never complained,
Her loyalty ran like a root in the floor,
She lit the back porch light and left open the door,
But the journal she kept in the drawer of her doubt
Had whole paragraphs in it she never read out

[PreChorus]
The conversation she needed was never with them,
It was always the one she'd been having within

[Chorus]
Diane, every word you swallowed came true,
Every kindness you buried grew back up through you,
The half-finished canvas you turned to the wall
Was the most honest thing in the room after all,
Diane, what you made when no one was around
Is the realest and rarest of things to be found

[Verse 3]
She was never meant for the well-traveled road,
She needed the question, the far-reaching ode,
She'd argue her way to a higher belief
Then mend what she broke with uncommon relief,
Two things lived inside her — the rover, the root —
One eye on the distant, one hand on the fruit

[PreChorus]
And the searching was never a sign she was lost,
It was how she counted the worth of the cost

[Chorus]
Diane, every crossroads was ground you could claim,
Every doubt you outwalked put a torch to your name,
The ones who said settle were reading it wrong,
You were never too restless — you were always that strong,
Diane, let the road in your chest finally run,
You were finished with hiding before you'd begun

[Verse 4]
Now a new door is turning in autumn's first breath,
Something deep in the garden is calling past death,
The longing that bruised her is changing its coat,
It's not loss anymore — it's a hand at her throat
Loosening, letting the old bargain go,
A woman who finally decides what to know

[PreChorus]
The healing she waited for wasn't out there,
It was folded inside her like light inside air

[Chorus]
Diane, every scar was a doorway, not proof,
You were never the damage — you were always the truth,
The version of you that you kept putting last
Is walking out forward and leaving that past,
Diane, what the long years were building is clear —
You were always the one you were waiting to hear

[Bridge]
She learned to say yes to the ache in her chest,
She stopped filing her wanting away with the rest,
The fourth draft she'd crumpled and thrown in the bin
Was the truest beginning she'd ever been in

[Outro]
So here's to you, Diane, exactly as made,
The one who stayed present while others just stayed,
You were never a rough draft, you never were less —
You are already whole, you are already yes
