[Verse 1]
Still waters on the surface, deep tides underneath
A calm that takes a lifetime and a fire underneath
You carry everyone's weight before they've asked you to
Then wonder why you're tired when the day is finally through
You notice what is broken before others see the crack
A mind that maps the details, always circling back

[PreChorus]
They see the steady presence, they don't see the storm inside
All that heat and hunger that you've learned to keep from sight

[Chorus]
Maryanne, you are the earth and the flame
The quiet and the thunder are both part of your name
You don't need to earn your place or prove that you belong
What they call complicated, I call deep and strong

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a match struck clean and bright
You dive in whole and fearless, no half-measures, no half-light
But love has left its markings somewhere under all that grace
The wound that says be worthy, the ache no one could trace
You've held yourself to standards that would break a lesser soul
What looks like imperfection is the making of the whole

[PreChorus]
The ones who've seen your shadow know the gold beneath the stone
Every scar you carry is a country you have known

[Chorus]
Maryanne, you are the earth and the flame
The quiet and the thunder are both part of your name
You don't need to earn your place or prove that you belong
What they call complicated, I call deep and strong

[Verse 3]
There's a hidden world inside you where you wrestle with the dark
Where old fears turn to lanterns and they slowly light the path
You were built for something lasting, built to rise beyond the doubt
What you carry in the shadows is the very thing that counts
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't fade
Every part of you intentional, every choice already made

[PreChorus]
You are not too much, you never were too loud or too alive
You were made this way on purpose, you were built to more than survive

[Chorus]
Maryanne, you are the earth and the flame
The quiet and the thunder are both part of your name
You don't need to earn your place or prove that you belong
What they call complicated, I call deep and strong

[Bridge]
Let the walls come down, you don't need them anymore
The richness that you're seeking lives right here behind the door
You are held by something older than the stories you've been told
Maryanne, you were written in the stars before the cold

[Outro]
Rest now in the truth of all you are and all you've grown
You were never lost, you were always being shown
The universe keeps calling you by name
