[Verse 1]
She reads the room before she reads the words on the page,
A quiet kind of knowing that was built before her age,
They see the steady surface and they call it being strong,
But there's an ocean underneath that's run her whole life long,
She holds the weight of everything and makes it look like air,
A mountain with a heartbeat and a mind that's always there,

[PreChorus]
But the tide inside is rising, and it's searching for the shore,
She was carved to carry more than walls, she was built for so much more,

[Chorus]
Marli, the stars wrote your name in the deep,
In the part of the sky that the rest of us can't see,
You are mountain and moonlight and current and flame,
The universe knows you, and nothing's the same,

[Verse 2]
She loves like someone ancient who remembers what was lost,
She gives before you ask her but she's tallied up the cost,
She needs the kind of freedom that most people never name,
A connection built on realness, not on playing someone's game,
She's drawn to what is hidden underneath the polished face,
And she'll walk into the darkness just to light the darkest place,

[PreChorus]
She's been proving she is worthy since before she knew the word,
Building something beautiful from everything that hurt,

[Chorus]
Marli, the stars wrote your name in the deep,
In the part of the sky that the rest of us can't see,
You are mountain and moonlight and current and flame,
The universe knows you, and nothing's the same,

[Verse 3]
She's unlearning that her worth was ever something she must earn,
That the ache she carries quietly was not a thing to spurn,
Her precision is a compass and her depth a kind of grace,
Every scar she thought was weakness held the map to her true place,
The home she longed for wasn't lost, it lives inside her chest,
And the version she's becoming is the one she knows is best,

[PreChorus]
There's a compass pointing forward through the questions and the years,
And the woman she is rising to is everything she feared,

[Chorus]
Marli, the stars wrote your name in the deep,
In the part of the sky that the rest of us can't see,
You are mountain and moonlight and current and flame,
The universe knows you, and nothing's the same,

[Bridge]
You don't need to hold it all to prove that you belong,
The healing isn't weakness, it's the current making strong,
Let the light come in the places you have guarded from the start,
You were written by the cosmos with intention, every part,

[Outro]
So rest in what you are, not what you've had to prove,
The world already needs the gift of you,
