[Verse 1]
She carries whole oceans beneath a still face,
Feels everything deeply but leaves little trace,
A mind that runs faster than lightning can strike,
She sees through the surface and into the light,
The world reads her easy — they don't see the tide,
All those currents and kingdoms she carries inside.

[PreChorus]
She's been the quiet one holding the room,
A lantern left burning behind the full moon.

[Chorus]
Maria, you are more than they see,
A river, a riddle, a force running free,
The stars didn't scatter your light by mistake,
Maria, you're exactly enough as you wake.

[Verse 2]
She loves like a match struck in cold open air,
She gives before asking, she's already there,
But the home she keeps building still aches at its core,
Some old unnamed longing she can't find the door,
She's learned to be steady while tides pulled her down,
And quietly turned every wound to a crown.

[PreChorus]
She's both the dreamer and the one who gets things done,
Ancient wisdom and the fire of a rising sun.

[Chorus]
Maria, you are more than they see,
A river, a riddle, a force running free,
The stars didn't scatter your light by mistake,
Maria, you're exactly enough as you wake.

[Verse 3]
She thinks in the language the ordinary miss,
Her voice carries weight like a promise or kiss,
She's walked through the shadows and came back with gold,
A soul that gets deeper the further it's told,
She doesn't need fixing, she never was broken,
Just beautifully layered and finally spoken.

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote her carefully, in ink that never fades,
She is the dawn that follows all her longest darkest days.

[Chorus]
Maria, you are more than they see,
A river, a riddle, a force running free,
The stars didn't scatter your light by mistake,
Maria, you're exactly enough as you wake.

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn what was always your own,
The depth that you carry is how you have grown,
You are held by the current, you're guided by grace,
There was never a moment you weren't in the right place.

[Outro]
So rest in the knowing, let the tide carry you home,
Maria, you never were walking alone.
