[Verse 1]
She carries mountains on a quiet face
A steady hand that holds the whole world's weight
There's a light inside she rarely lets them see
Burning patient in the dark, wild and free
She speaks with purpose, thinks before she lands
But oceans rise in her the way no one understands

[PreChorus]
She's built her walls from something soft and true
Still wondering if she's enough to break through

[Chorus]
Mariette, you are the stone and the tide
The ancient calm and the fire inside
You don't have to earn what was always your own
Mariette, you were written in bone

[Verse 2]
She loves like something rare and hard to name
Not the easy kind, but love that leaves a flame
She needs the room to breathe and still belong
A hand that won't confuse her freedom with something wrong
She gives before she's asked and asks too late
Then wonders why she's always standing at the gate

[PreChorus]
She's learned to speak in careful, measured lines
But the whole universe is fluent in her signs

[Chorus]
Mariette, you are the stone and the tide
The ancient calm and the fire inside
You don't have to earn what was always your own
Mariette, you were written in bone

[Verse 3]
She's searching for the meaning underneath the road
Trading what is comfortable for what she hasn't known
Her wounds became the compass not the cage
Every scar she carried quietly became a page
She's been misread by mouths that couldn't hold her weight
But what they couldn't hear in her was something great

[PreChorus]
The deeper truth she's chasing isn't far away
It's been living in the life she lives every day

[Chorus]
Mariette, you are the stone and the tide
The ancient calm and the fire inside
You don't have to earn what was always your own
Mariette, you were written in bone

[Bridge]
The cosmos laid your roots before the ground was cold
Made you tender at the edges, fierce within the fold
You were never too much, never too concealed
You are whole in every part of you, already healed

[Outro]
Rest now in the truth of what you've always been
Everything you've carried, everything you've seen
Mariette, the stars don't make mistakes
You are everything the quiet morning makes
