[Verse 1]
The world went quiet in a way you didn't choose,
Like a lantern dropped mid-winter, burning through the bruise,
You've been standing in the hollow where the light used to fall,
Learning how to carry what you can't set down at all,
You search for solid ground beneath an unfamiliar sky,
But even broken arrows know the reason that they fly.

[PreChorus]
There's a fire in you that grief has not consumed,
A compass at the center of the dark you're moving through.

[Chorus]
Hold on, Marissa, the horizon's calling home,
Every road that feels forsaken is a road you've walked alone,
The one you loved has not erased the one you're meant to be,
You are found inside the finding, you were always wild and free.

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a river running wide,
You give before you're asked and hold the trembling inside,
They see the steady patience, they don't see the tide,
All those depths you've carried quietly, the oceans you've survived,
You balance everyone's tomorrow while your own slips past the door,
But the peace you give to others, love, was always meant for more.

[PreChorus]
The same heart that bends to catch another's fall,
Was also built to catch itself, the truest gift of all.

[Chorus]
Hold on, Marissa, the horizon's calling home,
Every road that feels forsaken is a road you've walked alone,
The one you loved has not erased the one you're meant to be,
You are found inside the finding, you were always wild and free.

[Verse 3]
You were written in the language of a wide and restless sky,
A truth-teller, a seeker, born to ask the reason why,
There's a hunger at your center that no loss can take away,
A whole horizon waiting at the turning of the day,
The stars that mapped your beginning didn't leave you here to stay—
They left a thread of meaning, and it's threading you toward May.

[PreChorus]
You are rooted deeper than the grief that shook the ground,
And everything you're looking for is waiting to be found.

[Chorus]
Hold on, Marissa, the horizon's calling home,
Every road that feels forsaken is a road you've walked alone,
The one you loved has not erased the one you're meant to be,
You are found inside the finding, you were always wild and free.

[Bridge]
Let the mourning be a season, not a life sentence you serve,
You were made for something tender and a world you deserve,
The universe still holds your name written careful in the light,
And the self you think you've lost, love, hasn't left your sight.

[Outro]
Come back to yourself, one breath, one dawn, one day,
You were never truly lost, you just forgot the way,
Marissa, you are held by more than what you see,
The arrow's finding forward, and the arrow's always free.
