[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface, a calm that holds its ground,
But underneath the waterline there are oceans to be found,
You read the room before you speak, you see what isn't shown,
A mind that cuts to what is real, a gift you've always known,
You carry more than people know, you feel it in your bones,
The weight of every unspoke word, the things you've held alone,
But that precision in your thinking, that compass pointing true,
That's not a burden you were given — it was always meant for you

[PreChorus]
And they see the steady surface,
They don't see the fire within,
They see the calm and careful edges,
Not the depth you carry in

[Chorus]
Vicki, you were written in the dark between the stars,
Every careful step you've taken has been leading you this far,
There's an ocean and an ember living somewhere in your chest,
You were never meant to be small — you were built for more than less,
Vicki, let the tide come in

[Verse 2]
You've always given first before you've thought to count the cost,
And loved so deeply, quietly, afraid of what you'd lost,
You take your time before you trust, you build on solid ground,
And once you do, your devotion is the realest thing around,
But somewhere in the giving you forgot to keep a part,
Forgot that what you offer them is not your whole heart,
The way you love is ancient, like a covenant, like a vow,
And you deserve that same devotion — you deserve it now

[PreChorus]
And they feel your warmth around them,
Like a hearth that holds the cold,
But the fire that you carry
Has a story yet untold

[Chorus]
Vicki, you were written in the dark between the stars,
Every careful step you've taken has been leading you this far,
There's an ocean and an ember living somewhere in your chest,
You were never meant to be small — you were built for more than less,
Vicki, let the tide come in

[Verse 3]
There's a part of you that's always standing just outside the door,
Wondering if the circle has a place for you or more,
You've felt the ache of almost — almost seen, almost held,
Almost understood the way that something in you swelled,
But every wound that found you was a teacher in disguise,
Every time you felt unseen, you learned to trust your eyes,
And the people worth your presence, they will know it when you stay,
The right ones always recognize the light you give away

[PreChorus]
There's a vision you've been holding,
Of the world the way it ought to be,
And that longing isn't weakness —
It's a quietly held prophecy

[Chorus]
Vicki, you were written in the dark between the stars,
Every careful step you've taken has been leading you this far,
There's an ocean and an ember living somewhere in your chest,
You were never meant to be small — you were built for more than less,
Vicki, let the tide come in

[Verse 4]
You've been learning to stop fixing what was never yours to mend,
Learning that the line between yourself and others has an end,
That the chaos you've been trying to arrange into a row
Has a kind of holy wildness you were always meant to know,
There's a softer voice inside you past the critic and the doubt,
That has known since the beginning what your life has been about,
It's the one that moves through stillness and it speaks in quiet flame,
And it's been calling you toward freedom, it has always known your name

[PreChorus]
So lay down what you've been carrying,
The proof that you are good,
You were never here to earn it —
You were enough, just as you stood

[Chorus]
Vicki, you were written in the dark between the stars,
Every careful step you've taken has been leading you this far,
There's an ocean and an ember living somewhere in your chest,
You were never meant to be small — you were built for more than less,
Vicki, let the tide come in

[Bridge]
The universe wrote you slowly, with intention in each line,
Every contradiction in you was deliberate, by design,
The
