[Verse 1]
There's an ocean inside that the surface won't show,
A mind full of currents and places to go,
You feel everything deeply but keep the tide low,
A tenderness hidden beneath what you know,
You carry the weight of a world you've outgrown,
But the roots you've grown through it have made you your own.

[PreChorus]
You've been building your shelter with both hands in the storm,
And every scar left behind is the shape of your form.

[Chorus]
Nicola, you were written in the deep,
More than the silence that you hold while others sleep,
The cosmos mapped your marrow, every fold, every seam,
You are wider than the water, you are more than the dream.

[Verse 2]
You speak in metaphors and feel before you think,
You've stood at the edge of yourself on the brink,
You love like a prayer that you'd rather not name,
You give without measure and ask nothing the same,
The world sees the stillness, it doesn't see the fire,
The discipline hiding a boundless desire.

[PreChorus]
You've learned to be steady when the ground couldn't hold,
And everything tender in you made you bold.

[Chorus]
Nicola, you were written in the deep,
More than the silence that you hold while others sleep,
The cosmos mapped your marrow, every fold, every seam,
You are wider than the water, you are more than the dream.

[Verse 3]
You've searched through the darkness for something that lasts,
You've built something real from the wreck of the past,
Your mind never rests but it finds what is true,
There's a wisdom below all the questions in you,
You were never too much and you were never too small,
You were always becoming the sum of it all.

[PreChorus]
The path has been heavy but look how far you've come,
What you thought was your breaking was just how you've won.

[Chorus]
Nicola, you were written in the deep,
More than the silence that you hold while others sleep,
The cosmos mapped your marrow, every fold, every seam,
You are wider than the water, you are more than the dream.

[Bridge]
The wound became the well where your wisdom was drawn,
Every storm you moved through made the light more your own,
You don't need to be endless to deserve to belong,
You were always enough, you were always this strong.

[Outro]
The stars held your name long before you arrived,
Everything lost in the journey was part of the tide,
You are guided, you are held, you are home.
