[Verse 1]
She grew up carrying a ledger nobody else could read,
Every column balanced twice before she'd let it breathe,
She walked into a room and felt the weight of every eye,
Matured before her classmates, learned to hold her head up high,
But underneath that steady hand, a hunger burned for more,
A pilgrim with a question who was built for something broad

[PreChorus]
The careful ones still carry maps to places they've never been,
And she was born to cross the border between who she was and who she'd seen

[Chorus]
Margaret, you've built your name on the bedrock of this land,
Every goal you ever met was measured by your own two hands,
You're the architect and the anthem, the discipline and the dream,
Margaret, the stars wrote your name in gold on everything

[Verse 2]
She loves like a woman who believes the road itself is sacred ground,
Finds beauty in a different tongue, in strangers, in the faraway sound,
She'll give you every grand gesture, every loyal, fire-tested year,
But she wants that admiration back, she needs to know that you are here,
She felt misunderstood mid-sentence more times than she could count,
Kept rewriting every paragraph, kept pouring from a faithful fount

[PreChorus]
The ones who weigh both sides at once still know which way they'd go,
And she has always known her worth, she's just learning to let it show

[Chorus]
Margaret, you've walked the long way 'round to find your open sky,
Every belief you ever broke apart, you rebuilt it true and right,
You're the compass and the country road, the question and the key,
Margaret, the finest thing you ever built, girl, was being free

[Verse 3]
She's been pulling at old roots down in the deepest part of home,
Rebuilding what was handed down, refusing to be alone in the bone,
The new moon rises on her harvest, calling out her given name,
This awakening was never lost — it was always in the frame,
The woman in the mirror's got a mission written in her eyes,
No more asking for permission for the territory of her rise

[PreChorus]
The ones who held their breath the longest breathe the deepest when they go,
And something in her knows the time — she's always been the one to know

[Chorus]
Margaret, the new moon found you ready at the gate,
Every road you walked in circles finally running straight,
You're the detail and the distance, the devotion and the fire,
Margaret, take every inch of everything your life requires

[Bridge]
She reorganized the rubble till it looked like sacred ground,
She sat with every contradiction till she turned them back around,
The voice she kept on editing is the one that always knew,
Every syllable she second-guessed was perfectly and wholly true

[Outro]
Margaret, the stars have always known your name,
Go on and take your place, girl, stake your claim,
This is your season, this is your song,
Margaret, you were born belonging all along
