[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the way you hold your ground,
A tide that moves in silence where the deep things are found,
You feel the room before you speak, you read what's left unsaid,
You carry other people's weight and call it love instead,
They see the steady surface, but they don't see the pull,
All that water running under, making you so full

[PreChorus]
You were never just the calm, you were also the sea,
Every current, every darkness, every way you breathe free

[Chorus]
Michelle Marie, the moon wrote you in water and fire,
Built of tender devotion and a soul that reaches higher,
You don't have to hold the whole world to be worthy of love,
Michelle Marie, you were always, always enough

[Verse 2]
You think through the heart and your words carry memory home,
You've felt misread so many times you learned to stand alone,
That longing to be truly heard has lived behind your eyes,
But the voice they never listened to was ancient, deep, and wise,
You give before you're asked because your love is how you breathe,
And the home you build for everyone is the most sacred thing

[PreChorus]
You've been the roof, the warmth, the light, the place where others land,
Now let somebody hold the door and offer you a hand

[Chorus]
Michelle Marie, the moon wrote you in water and fire,
Built of tender devotion and a soul that reaches higher,
You don't have to hold the whole world to be worthy of love,
Michelle Marie, you were always, always enough

[Verse 3]
There's an archer in you too, one who aims beyond the hill,
A restless kind of wondering that no ordinary still,
You carry contradictions like a gift you don't quite name,
The wanderer and the keeper of the hearth inside one frame,
Your patience builds cathedrals out of small and steady days,
And your fire lights the road ahead in quiet, certain ways

[PreChorus]
The stars have always known the ground you're walking toward,
Every scar became the key, every wound unlocked a door

[Chorus]
Michelle Marie, the moon wrote you in water and fire,
Built of tender devotion and a soul that reaches higher,
You don't have to hold the whole world to be worthy of love,
Michelle Marie, you were always, always enough

[Bridge]
The fog is lifting, something true is coming through the haze,
Your voice is clearing like a sky that's done with cloudy days,
What you carry isn't burden, it's the gift the world has sought,
You are guided, you are grounded, you are everything you thought

[Outro]
Let the tide bring you back to yourself again,
Michelle Marie, you were home right where you've always been
