[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold the room
Like deep water in November, calm before it moves
You read between the lines before they're even said
You carry whole oceans behind eyes that give nothing away instead
What they call intensity, you know it as your truth
There's a current running ancient underneath everything you do

[PreChorus]
You've learned to keep the tide locked behind stone
But the depth of what you feel is yours alone

[Chorus]
Maryanne, you are the undertow and the shore
The kind of soul that the world was quietly built for
Every scar you've earned is written into gold
Maryanne, you were never half as broken as you were told

[Verse 2]
You love like someone who has studied loss
Who counts the cost before the bridge, then crosses anyway because
You don't reach out with empty hands or hollow words
You show up in the quiet, in the way that's rarely heard
They see composure, they don't see what that takes
The discipline behind the grace, the strength behind the ache

[PreChorus]
You've held so many things together, rarely held
But everything you've carried made you someone rare

[Chorus]
Maryanne, you are the undertow and the shore
The kind of soul that the world was quietly built for
Every scar you've earned is written into gold
Maryanne, you were never half as broken as you were told

[Verse 3]
You've stood at the edge of what couldn't be named
And chose to transform rather than stay the same
A mind that won't rest until it finds the root
That sees through the surface and demands the truth
You were born to lead by going deep, not loud
A lantern in the dark for anyone who's lost in the crowd

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that holds
A life like yours was never meant to leave the world cold

[Chorus]
Maryanne, you are the undertow and the shore
The kind of soul that the world was quietly built for
Every scar you've earned is written into gold
Maryanne, you were never half as broken as you were told

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn your place, it was always yours
You don't have to prove the worth behind these bones and scars
The moon in you has known the dark and loved it into light
You are enough, you have always been enough, tonight

[Outro]
Let the tide come in, let the deep run free
Maryanne, you are exactly who you were made to be
The stars don't make mistakes and neither do you
Every part of this life was written true
