[Verse 1]
She holds the weight of mountains in her hands
And smiles like someone who completely understands
She's the one who shows up, steady, calm, and clear
But there's a whole ocean underneath that no one sees from here
She thinks in blueprints, builds her life like stone
Always moving forward but sometimes feels alone
There's a fire at the doorstep of everything she does
A mind that never settles, always reaching for what was

[PreChorus]
She's carried silences too heavy to explain
Turned every quiet burden into something she reclaimed
And though she guards the door to where her deepest rivers run
There's warmth enough inside her heart to rival any sun

[Chorus]
Diane, you are written in the long way home
In the roots beneath the surface and the seeds you've always sown
You are ancient and electric, you are patient and you're free
Diane, the universe has always known exactly who you'd be
You don't have to keep proving what was never up for debate
You were enough before you learned to carry all this weight

[Verse 2]
She speaks in wide ideas and searching, open skies
She's drawn to what is real and true beneath the alibis
She loves without a blueprint and without a common name
Two hearts beating in her chest that never feel the same
She'll give you all her colors and she'll give you all her time
And quietly wonder if she's ever truly seen as mine
She learned to lock the tender parts behind a careful face
But the ones who've felt her presence know there's no one takes her place

[PreChorus]
She's wrestled with the pull between who she is and who she's told
Between the freedom that she craves and structures she's been sold
But every contradiction is a depth she's earned through years
Every wall she ever built was lined with love not fear

[Chorus]
Diane, you are written in the long way home
In the roots beneath the surface and the seeds you've always sown
You are ancient and electric, you are patient and you're free
Diane, the universe has always known exactly who you'd be
You don't have to keep proving what was never up for debate
You were enough before you learned to carry all this weight

[Verse 3]
She is drawn to what endures, to what is worth the climb
She finds the kind of truth that doesn't fade away with time
She's sat with other people's pain like it was hers to hold
And offered what she needed most, before she could be told
There's a compass in her that has never once gone dark
Even in the seasons when she couldn't find the spark
She has moved through fire quietly and come out changed not burned
And the wisdom that she carries now is something that she earned

[PreChorus]
She is more than what she's given and more than what she's done
She is every morning she kept going when she thought she's run
The world has had her steady hands and heart more than it knows
And it's time she turned that tenderness toward everything she holds

[Chorus]
Diane, you are written in the long way home
In the roots beneath the surface and the seeds you've always sown
You are ancient and electric, you are patient and you're free
Diane, the universe has always known exactly who you'd be
You don't have to keep proving what was never up for debate
You were enough before you learned to carry all this weight

[Bridge]
Let the mountain rest a moment
Let the mind go still
You have never needed fixing
You were always real
The stars arranged themselves around you
Like a careful hand
And what they made was someone rare
That not everyone can understand
But the right ones always feel it
In the quiet that you keep
You are vast and you are grounded
You are both the sky and deep

[Outro]
So rest in who you are now
Let the striving breathe
You are everything you came here for
Just learn to receive
The life you've built has meaning
Every stone and every scar
Diane, you were always home
You were never very far
