[Verse 1]
They see the warmth you give so freely to the world
But not the ocean of emotion that you hold
You've built a home for everyone but never rest inside
While something ancient stirs beneath your gentle pride
The way you love runs deeper than the surface shows
Like roots that drink from rivers no one else quite knows

[Chorus]
MaryEllen, you're the fire and the tide
MaryEllen, all that power you hide
You don't need to prove you're worthy of the space you take
You're enough just as you are, every breath you make
MaryEllen, let the universe unfold
The story that your heart already knows

[Verse 2]
You feel everything so deeply it can overwhelm
But that's the gift you carry, not a cross to helm
The way your mind can see what others never find
Like lightning wrapped in silk, your brilliant restless mind
When others need a vision you're the one they seek
Though you doubt the very wisdom that you speak

[Chorus]
MaryEllen, you're the fire and the tide
MaryEllen, all that power you hide
You don't need to prove you're worthy of the space you take
You're enough just as you are, every breath you make
MaryEllen, let the universe unfold
The story that your heart already knows

[Verse 3]
You're drawn to heal what's broken in this wounded earth
Your hands were made for mending, your soul knows its worth
The tension that you feel between your dreams and fear
Is just the growing pains of someone meant to steer
Stop carrying the weight of what you think you lack
The cosmos wrote you carefully, there's nothing to take back

[Chorus]
MaryEllen, you're the fire and the tide
MaryEllen, all that power you hide
You don't need to prove you're worthy of the space you take
You're enough just as you are, every breath you make
MaryEllen, let the universe unfold
The story that your heart already knows

[Bridge]
Your sensitivity's a superpower dressed as pain
Every wound became a doorway, every loss became your gain
The world needs what you carry in those careful, caring hands
You were born to be the bridge between the sea and land

[Outro]
There's a compass pointing home inside your heart
Trust the path you're walking, trust the way you start
You are held, you are guided, you are more than enough
Written in the stars with everlasting love
