[Verse 1]
She carries the sun in a private place,
Not the kind of light that needs the stage,
Her roots run deep beneath the crowd's applause,
She builds her empire quietly, without pause,
The warmth she gives could fill a house entire,
And still she wonders if she's worth the fire,

[PreChorus]
Something ancient lives behind those eyes,
A tide that pulls between the earth and sky,

[Chorus]
Monique, you were written in the stars before you knew,
Every single contradiction in you tells the truth,
The world sees the stillness, not the storm inside,
But the whole of you is beautiful — the fire and the tide,

[Verse 2]
She speaks in feeling more than she speaks in fact,
Her mind holds every memory, keeps track,
Of every word that landed like a wound,
And every room she lit before she left too soon,
She fights for everyone before she fights for herself,
She pours until she's empty, puts her needs upon the shelf,

[PreChorus]
But every heart she's carried, every soul she's fed,
Is proof the love inside her isn't something she should dread,

[Chorus]
Monique, you were written in the stars before you knew,
Every single contradiction in you tells the truth,
The world sees the stillness, not the storm inside,
But the whole of you is beautiful — the fire and the tide,

[Verse 3]
She loves like something ancient, wide and true,
Grand in the giving, loyal all the way through,
She needs to be seen just as she sees others,
Celebrated fiercely, not just used to soothe and cover,
The freedom that she craves is not a flaw to fix,
It's a soul that knows its worth won't fit inside a box,

[PreChorus]
She's learning that her worth was never something earned,
It was written in her marrow long before the world confirmed,

[Chorus]
Monique, you were written in the stars before you knew,
Every single contradiction in you tells the truth,
The world sees the stillness, not the storm inside,
But the whole of you is beautiful — the fire and the tide,

[Verse 4]
She's here to build a life that feels like home,
Not just a name that echoes when she's gone,
The path she's on was never about the crowd,
It's about the quiet knowing she's allowed,
To rest, to feel, to take up all her space,
To stop outsourcing worth from someone else's grace,

[PreChorus]
The stars aligned so carefully around her,
Like the universe refused to let the dark surround her,

[Chorus]
Monique, you were written in the stars before you knew,
Every single contradiction in you tells the truth,
The world sees the stillness, not the storm inside,
But the whole of you is beautiful — the fire and the tide,

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to take your place,
You were made from something steady, lit with grace,
Every scar became a lantern in the night,
You were always, always more than enough light,

[Outro]
So rest in who you are, not what you've done,
The cosmos wrote you carefully — and called you one,
You are guided, you are held, you are found,
Monique, you are home,
