[Verse 1]
She carries the horizon like a second skin,
Always chasing the edge of where the light begins,
A mind built wide enough to hold a thousand skies,
Truth tumbling out before she thinks to disguise,
She gives before she's asked and loves without a net,
The kind of soul this world doesn't easily forget

[PreChorus]
But nobody sees the weight she lifts in the dark,
The mountains she's moved to protect her own heart

[Chorus]
Martha, you were written in the long way around,
Every road you've wandered put you on solid ground,
The universe was careful with the life that it made,
You are held in something deeper than the light or the shade

[Verse 2]
She feels things like weather, like a tide beneath the floor,
A fire burning steady behind every open door,
She's worked for what she carries, built it stone by stone,
And still she wonders sometimes if the world truly knows,
How hard she's tried to serve and never ask for more,
How she's kept the whole room warm while she stood outside the door

[PreChorus]
But every act of quiet grace has written her name,
Not in approval or applause, but in something that stays

[Chorus]
Martha, you were written in the long way around,
Every road you've wandered put you on solid ground,
The universe was careful with the life that it made,
You are held in something deeper than the light or the shade

[Verse 3]
She's broken what was handed down and built something new,
Forged a different kind of home from everything she knew,
Her love moves like a compass always pointing toward truth,
Not the love that needs a mirror, but the kind that bears fruit,
She's learning that the seeking is the sacred, not the end,
That the questions she's been carrying were never wounds, but medicine

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need to earn the ground beneath her feet,
She was always whole enough, always already complete

[Chorus]
Martha, you were written in the long way around,
Every road you've wandered put you on solid ground,
The universe was careful with the life that it made,
You are held in something deeper than the light or the shade

[Bridge]
The world will keep on calling and she'll rise to meet it still,
Not because she has to but because it's in her will,
Her Leo moon knows glory shines from more than just the stage,
She is the fire, she is the map, she is the open page

[Outro]
Let the stars confirm what you already know,
You were made to carry light and made to let it go,
Martha, you are enough, you have always been enough,
Every single part of you was written with love
