[Verse 1]
There's an ocean in your chest that runs deeper than they know
Where the currents never rest and the hidden feelings grow
You see through every mask, every word they leave unsaid
While your own truth stays locked away inside your head
You remember every slight, every kindness, every lie
Store them like a treasure chest behind your knowing eyes

[PreChorus]
But that intensity you carry isn't something to contain
It's the fire that burns brightest when it's dancing with the rain

[Chorus]
Nichole, you're the storm before the calm
Nichole, you're the healing in the balm
Every scar became a story, every wound became a psalm
You don't need permission to be everything you are
Nichole, you're already written in the stars

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, wild and true
With a spirit that needs space but a heart that stays with you
There's a teacher in your voice, there's a diplomat inside
But you wrestle with the balance of your need to stand and hide
All that perfectionist precision, all that careful, caring way
Is just love dressed up in action at the ending of each day

[PreChorus]
And the weight you feel of others isn't burden, it's a gift
When you learn to hold their stories without letting yourself drift

[Chorus]
Nichole, you're the storm before the calm
Nichole, you're the healing in the balm
Every scar became a story, every wound became a psalm
You don't need permission to be everything you are
Nichole, you're already written in the stars

[Verse 3]
You were born to transform something in this world through who you are
Whether leading from the shadows or becoming the bright star
There's a mystic in your dreaming, there's an artist in your soul
And the parts that feel like breaking are just making you more whole
Trust the compass pointing inward, trust the wisdom in your bones
You're not too much or too little, you're exactly what you've grown

[Bridge]
The universe conspired to make you this way
Every contradiction, every price you've had to pay
Built a temple out of water, built a warrior out of grace
Nothing about you is an accident or misplaced

[Outro]
So when they see the surface, you remember what runs deep
All that power in your presence, all those promises you keep
You're the answer to a question that the world forgot to ask
Being exactly who you are is your most important task
