[Verse 1]
She keeps the surface still like stone on a quiet lake,
But underneath, the currents pull for everyone else's sake,
She reads the room before she speaks, she's fluent in unspoken pain,
And holds the world so carefully while waiting in the rain,
There's a fire at the edges that the calm doesn't betray,
A woman rooted deep in earth with tides that want to say

[PreChorus]
She's carried more than anyone has thought to ask her why,
Built a home inside her chest and rarely let it cry

[Chorus]
Marie, you are the depth that no one fully sees,
The ancient tide, the steady ground, the salt wind in the trees,
Every wall you built was shelter, every storm made you more true,
Marie, the sky was mapped around someone exactly like you

[Verse 2]
She loves like something that was formed before the world had names,
She memorizes how you take your coffee and remembers what you claim,
She gives before she's asked and aches when no one gives it back,
She's learned to call that longing strength and not a thing she lacks,
The fear of losing what she loves can pull her like a tide,
But every wave that crashes in just deepens what's inside

[PreChorus]
She's not too much, she's not too soft, she's not in need of mending,
She's a love so rare it had to learn its own defending

[Chorus]
Marie, you are the depth that no one fully sees,
The ancient tide, the steady ground, the salt wind in the trees,
Every wall you built was shelter, every storm made you more true,
Marie, the sky was mapped around someone exactly like you

[Verse 3]
She's walked through rooms where no one saw the magnitude she holds,
A mind that reads between the lines, a spirit carved from gold,
She's questioned whether she belongs, felt alien in the crowd,
But the ones who couldn't see her worth just couldn't see that loud,
She's here to leave a mark that goes beyond what eyes can trace,
A quiet kind of legacy that time cannot erase

[PreChorus]
The universe has known her name since long before this dawn,
She was written into everything the cosmos built upon

[Chorus]
Marie, you are the depth that no one fully sees,
The ancient tide, the steady ground, the salt wind in the trees,
Every wall you built was shelter, every storm made you more true,
Marie, the sky was mapped around someone exactly like you

[Bridge]
She doesn't need to prove herself to earn her place in this,
The moon has always known her name, the roots have known her bliss,
Let the tides reclaim her, let the stillness be enough,
She was made for something lasting — she was made from deeper stuff

[Outro]
Rest here, Marie, you've always been enough,
The stars don't build this carefully without a reason and a love,
You are held in something older than the names we give to light,
You were always, only always, exactly right
