[Verse 1]
There's a current running under everything you show
A tide that reads the room before the room will ever know
You carry whole universes in the quiet of your gaze
And speak a kind of truth that cuts through all the haze
They see the surface, still and calm, composed and in control
But you were built for depth — that's where you find your soul

[PreChorus]
You've been holding it together for so long, so tight
Learning how to trust that you deserve your own light

[Chorus]
Erika, you were written in the dark and the fire
Every layer that you carry only lifts you higher
Erika, what you feel is not too much, it's your power
You are the root, the river, and the midnight hour

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a vow beneath the bone
You'd rather bleed in silence than let anyone feel alone
And when you finally open, it's a faith that moves like tides
The kind of fierce devotion that no distance can divide
But you've been asking if your worth needs proof from someone else
It doesn't — what you carry was already wealth

[PreChorus]
The walls you built were wisdom once, and now they've done their part
You don't need them anymore to guard a sovereign heart

[Chorus]
Erika, you were written in the dark and the fire
Every layer that you carry only lifts you higher
Erika, what you feel is not too much, it's your power
You are the root, the river, and the midnight hour

[Verse 3]
You think in layers, peel the truth from what the surface hides
A mind that won't stop searching 'til it reaches what's inside
There's a restlessness in you that isn't lost — it's meant to roam
A compass always pointing toward a deeper kind of home
You've walked through quiet fire in the chambers no one sees
And turned the ash to something rare — you turned it into keys

[PreChorus]
The healing that you've done in the dark was never small
You became the kind of light that can withstand the fall

[Chorus]
Erika, you were written in the dark and the fire
Every layer that you carry only lifts you higher
Erika, what you feel is not too much, it's your power
You are the root, the river, and the midnight hour

[Verse 4]
You've measured every step with care, and built on what is real
Ambition wrapped in patience, discipline that still can feel
The wound that said you weren't enough has been your greatest lie
Because the ones who felt it deepest are the ones who touch the sky
You're not here to stay the same — the transformation is the gift
Every time you face the dark, you give the world a lift

[PreChorus]
The stars were not just placed for light — they mapped the shape of you
What you've carried all this time was always breaking through

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the stillness, you don't have to earn the grace
You were woven into something larger — you have always had a place
Let the mission breathe inside you, let the meaning take its time
You are already what you're reaching for — already the design

[Outro]
Erika, the cosmos wrote you carefully and clear
Everything you've ever been is exactly why you're here
