[Verse 1]
She grew up reading rooms before she read a word,
The diplomat who filed away every thought she heard,
Her mind a private ledger, balanced to the last,
Weighing every present moment against the past,
She worked the details down until the margins shone,
Building something beautiful in rooms she filled alone,

[PreChorus]
But the harvest doesn't wait for a perfect growing year,
And the equinox arrives the same — it tips without your fear,

[Chorus]
Patricia, the scales you kept so carefully aligned,
Were always holding something rare — the architecture of your mind,
You counted every cost before you ever made a move,
Patricia, the steadiness you carried is the thing nobody knew,

[Verse 2]
Her voice turned inward first, the thoughts she rearranged,
A retrograde of language, always quietly exchanged,
She'd draft the sentence seven times before she let it go,
Not from doubt of what she meant, but care for how they'd know,
The groups she loved, she gave them maps she'd drawn by hand,
Organizing the invisible so others still could stand,

[PreChorus]
But the equal light won't dim for hands that won't release,
The days that balance perfectly were made for her to keep,

[Chorus]
Patricia, the pen you turned against your own reflection's wrong,
Your careful word, your measured thought — that labor was the song,
The plan laid in the margins of a notebook worn with use,
Patricia, the precision you perfected is the proof,

[Verse 3]
There's a fire crowning at the top of everything she's made,
Three bright points of power where her legacy was laid,
The kind of mark that doesn't shout but shifts the ground below,
The unconventional ascent that only she would know,
She's called now toward a wider meaning, faith past what she's held,
To trust the worth inside herself, not just the work she's felled,

[PreChorus]
The equinox stands even — neither side tips more than one,
She was always worth the same before and after what she's done,

[Chorus]
Patricia, the harvest you have gathered season after season now,
Was never meant to stay in storage — bring it out and take your bow,
The ledger finally closes, and the column reads the same,
Patricia, you always had enough — come let yourself reclaim the day,

[Bridge]
She sensed the things the room forgot to say,
Absorbing others' colors till her own began to fade,
But every year of tending has prepared this very ground,
She doesn't have to search for worth — it's where she's always found,

[Outro]
The equinox tips level, and the moment has arrived,
Patricia, every carefully held piece of you has survived,
Step into the equal light and let the scales come down,
The harvest is already yours to carry into town,
