[Verse 1]
There's a fire in you that doesn't need permission,
A quiet kind of power wrapped in soft precision,
You read the room before the words are even spoken,
You've held so much together while feeling nearly broken,
They see the warmth, the grace, the open-handed giving,
They don't see the ocean underneath your living,

[PreChorus]
But every tide you've swallowed made you deeper, made you true,
There's a whole world in the current no one else could carry through,

[Chorus]
Vickie, you were written in a careful hand,
Rooted like a mountain, wide as ocean sand,
Every scar a chapter, every doubt a door,
You were always more than what you settled for,

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient that refuses to grow cold,
You build a home inside a glance, a shelter in the fold,
Your mind turns every stone until the meaning comes to light,
You've been your own worst jury sitting up alone at night,
But that precision, that insistence on the truth of every thing,
Is the gift that keeps on giving, it's the note that makes you sing,

[PreChorus]
The world you carry gently is the world you help to heal,
What looks like quiet patience is the deepest kind of steel,

[Chorus]
Vickie, you were written in a careful hand,
Rooted like a mountain, wide as ocean sand,
Every scar a chapter, every doubt a door,
You were always more than what you settled for,

[Verse 3]
You've gone through your rebirths without anyone to witness,
Remade yourself in silence, called it strength and not just fitness,
You feared you'd be forgotten if you let your armor show,
But the ones who feel your presence always feel it even so,
There's a pull in you like gravity, invisible and wide,
Even when you step back someone follows in your stride,

[PreChorus]
You don't need to keep proving what was never yours to earn,
The light you carry freely is the light you gave to learn,

[Chorus]
Vickie, you were written in a careful hand,
Rooted like a mountain, wide as ocean sand,
Every scar a chapter, every doubt a door,
You were always more than what you settled for,

[Verse 4]
The horizon you've been seeking has been shifting with your feet,
Every road you've followed inward was the map that made you complete,
You belong to something larger than the doubts that crowd your mind,
You're a thread in something timeless, woven carefully and fine,
The healing that is coming is the kind that starts in you,
A softer season opening on everything you knew,

[PreChorus]
The stars did not arrange themselves without a reason here,
You were placed with such intention, let that finally be clear,

[Chorus]
Vickie, you were written in a careful hand,
Rooted like a mountain, wide as ocean sand,
Every scar a chapter, every doubt a door,
You were always more than what you settled for,

[Bridge]
Rest now, you have earned the ground beneath you,
The cosmos built a life it would come back to,
You are guided, you are whole, you are enough,
You were never meant to carry this alone,

[Outro]
Let the light come in without conditions,
You are standing at the door of a new season,
Vickie, this was always yours to own,
You were never lost, you were always coming home,
