[Verse 1]
There's an ocean living deep inside your chest
Waves that rise and fall when no one's looking
You feel everything but hide it from the rest
Like a tide that's always turning, always moving
The world sees your smile but never sees the storm
All those currents running wild beneath the surface

[PreChorus]
You've been carrying the weight of everyone's needs
Building bridges while your own heart barely breathes

[Chorus]
Marissa, you're the keeper of the flame
Dancing between shadow and the light
Marissa, you don't have to carry all the pain
You're enough just as you are tonight
The universe has mapped your winding way
Through every storm that made you who you are today

[Verse 2]
You speak in colors when your passion takes the lead
Your mind's a library of dreams and endless questions
But sometimes all that fire burns too fast to feed
And you wonder if your voice deserves attention
You love like something ancient and so wide
Like a prayer you whisper but don't need to hide

[PreChorus]
You've been giving all your gold before you're asked
Wearing masks to make the broken pieces last

[Chorus]
Marissa, you're the keeper of the flame
Dancing between shadow and the light
Marissa, you don't have to carry all the pain
You're enough just as you are tonight
The universe has mapped your winding way
Through every storm that made you who you are today

[Verse 3]
There's a child inside who learned to stand too tall
Built walls around your worth afraid it won't be seen
But every scar became a story after all
Every wound became the fabric of your dream
You transform the broken pieces into art
Like an alchemist who heals the wounded heart

[PreChorus]
You don't need to prove your right to take up space
You belong here with your imperfect, perfect grace

[Chorus]
Marissa, you're the keeper of the flame
Dancing between shadow and the light
Marissa, you don't have to carry all the pain
You're enough just as you are tonight
The universe has mapped your winding way
Through every storm that made you who you are today

[Verse 4]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades
A soul that sees beyond what others dare to notice
Your sensitivity's the gift that never trades
Your depth for shallow water, you stay closest
To the truth that lives where feeling meets the mind
Where the broken and the beautiful combine

[PreChorus]
You are guided, you are held, you are complete
Every breath you take makes this world more sweet

[Chorus]
Marissa, you're the keeper of the flame
Dancing between shadow and the light
Marissa, you don't have to carry all the pain
You're enough just as you are tonight
The universe has mapped your winding way
Through every storm that made you who you are today

[Bridge]
There's a compass pointing home inside your heart
That knows the way when everything feels scattered
You don't need to be perfect, just present from the start
Your tender strength is all that's ever mattered

[Outro]
The tides will turn, the seasons change their face
But you remain the constant in this dance of time and space
You are held by something larger than your fears
You are loved beyond the counting of your tears
