[Verse 1]
She carries the horizon like it lives inside her chest,
A mind that chases meaning, never settling for less,
She'll tell you what is true before she tells you what is kind,
Not cruelty in her honesty — just justice in her mind,
She's built for something bigger than the rooms that she's been in,
A fire aimed at purpose, burning bright beneath the skin,

[PreChorus]
But underneath that boldness lives a need for things to hold,
A heart that wants the world to make sense before it's told,

[Chorus]
Marcella, you were written in the wide and open sky,
A compass and a question mark, a flame that won't run dry,
Marcella, you were never meant to make yourself feel small,
The cosmos didn't build you to be anything but all,

[Verse 2]
She loves the way a river loves — it goes, but it runs deep,
She gives before she's asked to give, then guards the parts she keeps,
She's looked for mirrors in the ones she's chosen to let near,
And carried quiet wounds from every love that cost her dear,
She perfects the art of being fine when everything is frayed,
Holding everyone together while she hopes she won't be swayed,

[PreChorus]
But the care she gives so freely to the world deserves to land,
Back into those open palms, back into her own two hands,

[Chorus]
Marcella, you were written in the wide and open sky,
A compass and a question mark, a flame that won't run dry,
Marcella, you were never meant to make yourself feel small,
The cosmos didn't build you to be anything but all,

[Verse 3]
She's walked through rooms of silence where she carried it alone,
And turned the weight of solitude into a kind of home,
She's questioned every structure that the world said she should trust,
And built her own from something more than power, fear, or dust,
The depth in her is ancient, like a tide that knows its pull,
She doesn't need to earn her place — she was already full,

[PreChorus]
Every scar became a lantern, every doubt became a door,
She was never less than worthy — she was always, always more,

[Chorus]
Marcella, you were written in the wide and open sky,
A compass and a question mark, a flame that won't run dry,
Marcella, you were never meant to make yourself feel small,
The cosmos didn't build you to be anything but all,

[Bridge]
Let the searching be enough, let the journey be the proof,
You don't have to hold the ceiling up to justify your truth,
There's a light that moves before you on the path you're meant to find,
You are guided, you are held — you are one of a kind,

[Outro]
Marcella, you are seen in every corner of this song,
You were never lost, my love — you have belonged all along,
