[Verse 1]
You move with fire but think like water
Weighing every choice against your heart
There's a storm inside that no one sees
Between the one you are and who you think you ought to be
You've learned to carry what feels heavy
Making space for everyone but you
That restless energy beneath the calm
Is the compass pointing to what's true

[PreChorus]
All those walls you built around your worth
Were just practice for building something real
Every doubt that made you question more
Led you closer to what you feel

[Chorus]
Marianne, you don't need permission to be whole
You were made to lead with both your fire and your soul
Marianne, let them see the depth behind your grace
The universe wrote you to take up your rightful space

[Verse 2]
They see the steady, miss the lightning
All those currents running wild inside
You love like oceans meeting shorelines
Gentle waves that carry ancient tides
Home means more than walls and windows
It's the safety that you've learned to make
For the wounded and the wandering
Every sanctuary born from your own ache

[PreChorus]
All those times you gave before you were asked
Were rehearsals for the love you'll give
Every moment spent behind the scenes
Was preparing you to fully live

[Chorus]
Marianne, you don't need permission to be whole
You were made to lead with both your fire and your soul
Marianne, let them see the depth behind your grace
The universe wrote you to take up your rightful space

[Verse 3]
Your dreams reach far beyond horizons
Past the borders others try to draw
That quiet strength that moves through service
Is the force that breaks what never was
Innovation flows through your connection
To the visions only you can see
The world needs what you carry with you
The healing that sets others free

[Bridge]
You are guided, you are held, you are enough
Every scar became a story, every wound became love
The stars aligned to make you both the question and reply
You're exactly where you need to be

[Outro]
There's a purpose written in your bones
A legacy that's yours to claim
Let the fire and the balance guide you
Nothing left for you to explain
