[Verse 1]
There's a fire that lives in the marrow of her bones,
A kind of quiet sovereign who never needs a throne,
She walks into a room and something shifts inside the air,
A warmth that doesn't announce itself but everyone feels there,
She leads with open hands and a voice built out of light,
But behind the steady surface runs a current deep at night,
'Cause the world sees the lion but they don't see the stone,
The mountain she's been climbing mostly on her own

[PreChorus]
She's been holding it together like a pillar in the rain,
Trading all her tenderness for something she could name,
But worth was never something you were meant to prove or earn,
There's a fire in you already, let it shine where you stand firm

[Chorus]
Oh Nickie, you are carved from ancient light,
A Leo heart that burns through the longest night,
You've built your life on what your hands could hold,
But you are more than every story you've been told,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
Oh Nickie, you are worthy of the love you give away

[Verse 2]
She loves like a conversation she can't get enough of,
Something bright and curious, something wide enough,
She needs the room to wander and a mind that keeps her guessing,
A love that feels like learning, like an always-open question,
But underneath the laughter there's a longing she protects,
A heart that's been so careful, still half-holding in its breath,
She's built the walls with patience and she's kept the gates locked tight,
Afraid the deepest parts of her might not survive the light

[PreChorus]
But the very things she's guarded are the gifts the world needs most,
That depth of hers is not a wound, it's where she shines the close,
And every door she's bolted is a door that's kept her whole,
Now the key is in her keeping and it opens to her soul

[Chorus]
Oh Nickie, you are carved from ancient light,
A Leo heart that burns through the longest night,
You've built your life on what your hands could hold,
But you are more than every story you've been told,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
Oh Nickie, you are worthy of the love you give away

[Verse 3]
She carries what she came from like a lantern in her chest,
The weight of all those roots that never let her come to rest,
She tends the hearth for everyone but forgets to feed her flame,
She pours herself out endlessly and wonders at the drain,
There's a healer in her hands that she has never fully claimed,
A wisdom earned through winters and the seasons she has named,
She's asked herself a thousand times if what she does is enough,
But she was never meant to earn her place, she was always made of love

[PreChorus]
Let the Capricorn moon rest her bones for a while,
She doesn't need to hold it all with an unwavering smile,
The tide inside her rises just as the tides always will,
And being still is not surrender, it's the bravest kind of skill

[Chorus]
Oh Nickie, you are carved from ancient light,
A Leo heart that burns through the longest night,
You've built your life on what your hands could hold,
But you are more than every story you've been told,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
Oh Nickie, you are worthy of the love you give away

[Bridge]
And the universe has mapped your path through every hidden seam,
Through the soft dissolving edges and the harder-won redeems,
You are the anchor and the current, you are the stone and sea,
The world needs what you carry, every thread of who you be,
Let yourself be drifting where the deeper waters go,
You were written in the stars before you ever had to know

[Outro]
Oh, you are enough
Exactly as you stand
Not the proof you've built
But the gift of who you am
Rooted and radiant
Tender and true
Nickie, the light that the world needs
has always been you
