[Verse 1]
You walk through this world with a quiet fire
Building bridges others couldn't dream to make
There's a mountain inside you that won't tire
Every foundation you lay is for others' sake
They see your steady climb but miss the storm
All those nights you wrestle with what's right
You carry weight like it keeps you warm
But your soul craves something past the light

[PreChorus]
You've learned to hold the flood behind your eyes
To speak in measured words when your heart cries

[Chorus]
Joana, you're an ocean dressed as stone
Every wave you've swallowed made you strong
The world sees your armor, not the home
You've built for all the feelings you belong
Joana, let the current finally flow
You don't need permission to be whole

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like lightning through the dark
Connecting dots that others leave behind
You love in ways that leave an ancient mark
Freedom and devotion intertwined
Behind your eyes there's wisdom from the deep
Transformation lives in every breath you take
You turn the pain to power while you sleep
And emerge renewed from every break

[PreChorus]
You've mastered holding steady in the storm
Your tenderness disguised as something more

[Chorus]
Joana, you're an ocean dressed as stone
Every wave you've swallowed made you strong
The world sees your armor, not the home
You've built for all the feelings you belong
Joana, let the current finally flow
You don't need permission to be whole

[Verse 3]
There's a compass pointing true inside your chest
It knows the difference between duty and desire
You've been your own teacher through every test
Learning love is water, not just fire
Your worth isn't measured by what you complete
Or how well you carry everyone's load
The universe has written at your feet
A story only you were meant to code

[Bridge]
All those walls you built to keep you safe
Have become the garden where you grow
Every scar's a map of your brave face
Every wound's a river you now know

[Chorus]
Joana, you're an ocean dressed as stone
Every wave you've swallowed made you strong
The world sees your armor, not the home
You've built for all the feelings you belong
Joana, let the current finally flow
You don't need permission to be whole

[Outro]
You are guided by the moon inside your bones
You are held by forces you can't see
In the space between the silence and your moans
Lives the truth of who you're meant to be
