[Verse 1]
You carry fire beneath the careful surface
A lion's heart that beats with ancient pride
While others see the steady, grounded purpose
There's passion burning fierce you cannot hide
The world believes you're practical and measured
But they don't know the dreams that light your eyes
Your love shows up in details, small and treasured
Each thoughtful act a prayer in disguise

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide
All those currents running deep inside

[Chorus]
Joanne, you're written in the stars like poetry
A story that the universe composed
Joanne, your heart holds both the fire and mystery
You're braver than you think, stronger than you know

[Verse 2]
You feel everything like an ocean storming
Never halfway, never safe or small
Your mind can see the patterns that are forming
While your soul craves truth above it all
The way you love is service wrapped in silence
Remembering what matters to each heart
Your strength grows quiet in the face of violence
You heal by holding space, a work of art

[PreChorus]
They see the mountain, miss the roots below
All the wisdom only you could know

[Chorus]
Joanne, you're written in the stars like poetry
A story that the universe composed
Joanne, your heart holds both the fire and mystery
You're braver than you think, stronger than you know

[Verse 3]
You've learned that love means freedom, not possession
That growth requires both the storm and sun
Your wounds became your greatest teacher's lesson
Each scar proof that you've never been undone
Behind your eyes lives centuries of knowing
A depth that makes the shallow world feel small
Your truth is in the gentle way you're growing
Rising quiet, rising through it all

[PreChorus]
You don't need to prove what can't be seen
You're already everything you've ever been

[Chorus]
Joanne, you're written in the stars like poetry
A story that the universe composed
Joanne, your heart holds both the fire and mystery
You're braver than you think, stronger than you know

[Verse 4]
The path ahead is calling to your spirit
Adventure mixed with purpose, wild and true
Your voice will carry truths that others fear it
The world needs what you came here to do
Stop waiting for permission to be brilliant
Your light was meant to shine, not hide away
The cosmos holds you steady and resilient
You're exactly who you're meant to be today

[Bridge]
Every doubt you've carried, every fear
Was just preparing you to see it clear
The universe conspired to make you whole
You are the author of your own soul

[Outro]
The stars remember why they placed you here
To love with depth and lead without the fear
Your journey's just beginning, can't you see
You're everything you're meant to be
