[Verse 1]
She carried what most people couldn't name,
A quiet kind of weight, a slow and steady flame,
She smoothed the edges, held the fraying seams,
While somewhere deep inside, she kept her own dreams,
The kind that live in open fields and morning light,
Where something in the distance always felt right.

[PreChorus]
But the scales she held so long for everyone else,
She never once thought to balance them for herself.

[Chorus]
Oh Marge, you are the stillness after the storm,
Marge, you were never broken, you were being born,
Every road that tried to bury you just fed the ground,
And now you're home, and you are finally found.

[Verse 2]
She watched the world with eyes that cut below the surface,
She loved with something ancient, absolute, and purpose,
She gave before she's asked, and gave until it hurt,
And those she trusted most still left her in the dirt,
But what they took from her was never who she was,
She carried something fiercer underneath because.

[PreChorus]
The depth in her was never theirs to wound or keep,
It only made her roots grow longer, stronger, deep.

[Chorus]
Oh Marge, you are the stillness after the storm,
Marge, you were never broken, you were being born,
Every road that tried to bury you just fed the ground,
And now you're home, and you are finally found.

[Verse 3]
She sits with Mookie on the veranda at dawn,
The guinea fowl are loud, the fear is nearly gone,
A wallaby moves slow through golden morning haze,
A duck cuts through the water in the early rays,
The kangaroos don't ask what she has weathered through,
They just stand in the grass, like they already knew.

[PreChorus]
Nearly eighty years of giving, now she lets it land,
The life she always wanted, cupped inside her hands.

[Chorus]
Oh Marge, you are the stillness after the storm,
Marge, you were never broken, you were being born,
Every road that tried to bury you just fed the ground,
And now you're home, and you are finally found.

[Bridge]
There's a daughter standing somewhere with her eyes wide open wide,
Who has never once looked away, who has never left your side,
You raised a kind of love that knows exactly how to fight,
And she sees you, she will always see you, Marge, in every light.

[Outro]
The stars wrote you carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
You are fiercely loved, protected, and no longer afraid,
Rest now in the paddock that your whole life moved toward,
You are seen, you are enough, you are endlessly adored.
