[Verse 1]
Born where the tides and the dreamer entwine,
Joy carries the ocean in the depths of her mind,
She moves through this world with a slow, steady grace,
And leaves something lasting in every new place.
Her hands build the life that her visions have drawn,
She plants what she loves and she tends it till dawn,
The earth knows her name, and the stars know it too,
There's a path made of light, Joy, and it's leading to you.

[PreChorus]
She was never meant to rush,
Every step is sacred ground,
She was never meant to rush—
What is hers will come around.

[Chorus]
Joy, you are deeper than the words you've been given,
You are wider than the rooms you've been living,
The universe has known you since before your first breath,
And it's calling you now — past the noise, past the rest.
Joy, something is building that you haven't named yet,
Something ancient, something yours — don't you dare to forget:
You were woven into this with intention and care,
And the life you are becoming — it was always right there.

[Verse 2]
She loves like a fire that's slow to begin,
But once it is burning, it burns from within,
She gives what is real, she won't settle for less,
And she reads through the silence of all that's expressed.
In friendship and love, she's the one you can trust,
Not because she is perfect — because she is just,
She'll stand in your corner when the world disagrees,
And she'll question the answers that come a little too easily.

[PreChorus]
She was never meant to rush,
Every step is sacred ground,
She was never meant to rush—
What is hers will come around.

[Chorus]
Joy, you are deeper than the words you've been given,
You are wider than the rooms you've been living,
The universe has known you since before your first breath,
And it's calling you now — past the noise, past the rest.
Joy, something is building that you haven't named yet,
Something ancient, something yours — don't you dare to forget:
You were woven into this with intention and care,
And the life you are becoming — it was always right there.

[Verse 3]
She's felt the pull between what's real and what's true,
Between what the world asks and what she was born to do,
The tension in her is not something to fix —
It's the source of the power in everything she's built.
She stands at the crossing of freedom and form,
Of the life that feels safe and the call to transform,
And the stars say to Joy: you don't have to choose —
There's a version of you that holds all and still moves.

[PreChorus]
She was never meant to rush,
Every step is sacred ground,
She was never meant to rush—
What is hers will come around.

[Chorus]
Joy, you are deeper than the words you've been given,
You are wider than the rooms you've been living,
The universe has known you since before your first breath,
And it's calling you now — past the noise, past the rest.
Joy, something is building that you haven't named yet,
Something ancient, something yours — don't you dare to forget:
You were woven into this with intention and care,
And the life you are becoming — it was always right there.

[Verse 4]
The road she has walked has been longer than most,
She's carried the weight and she's honored the cost,
But the chapter ahead has a different kind of light —
Not the struggle of seeking, but the peace of arriving right.
Joy, the pattern is shifting, the tide's coming in,
And everything planted is ready to begin,
The ones who have known her will witness the bloom —
Because the stars kept their promise, and Joy kept hers too.

[PreChorus]
She was never meant to rush,
Every step is sacred ground,
She was never meant to rush—
What is hers will come around.

[Chorus]
Joy, you are deeper than the words you've been given,
You are wider than the rooms you've been living,
The universe has known you since before your first breath,
And it's calling you now — past the noise, past the rest.
Joy, something is building that you haven't named yet,
Something ancient, something yours — don't you dare to forget:
You were woven into this with intention and care,
And the life you are becoming — it was always right there.

[Bridge]
She is the compass and the sea,
She is the question and the key,
Every ending she has known
Has been a door back to her own.
The universe has held her name
Through every shifting wind and flame —
And what she's building, slow and true,
Was always meant to carry through.

[Outro]
Joy… the stars have always known,
Joy… you were never alone,
Joy… keep building what is real —
The life you're meant to live, you'll feel.
