[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you face the open road,
A mind that chases horizons like they owe you something whole,
You speak the truth like breathing, even when it costs you peace,
You carry depth beneath the laugh that others never see,
They think they know the arrow, but they've never seen the bow,
The quiet underneath the bright is where you really go

[PreChorus]
You've fought through tangled silence just to trust your voice,
And every time you doubted, that was wisdom, not the noise

[Chorus]
Nicole, you are the fire and the searching flame,
The steady one who built herself right out of all that pain,
You don't need to earn the space that you were born to fill,
The stars wrote you with purpose and they're writing for you still

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient — slow to open, deep to root,
You wait until the ground feels safe before you bear the fruit,
They see composed and graceful, they don't see the undertow,
The tidal pull of feeling you've been learning how to hold,
You've walked through your own darkness with a lantern, not a map,
And everything you've lost along the way, you won't want back

[PreChorus]
There's a compass pointing inward where the answers have always been,
You were never really lost — you were becoming what you'd seen

[Chorus]
Nicole, you are the fire and the searching flame,
The steady one who built herself right out of all that pain,
You don't need to earn the space that you were born to fill,
The stars wrote you with purpose and they're writing for you still

[Bridge]
Let the need to be understood dissolve into the air,
Your words were always bridges — lay them down without the fear,
The universe has carried you through every fractured seam,
You are ancient, you are unfolding, you are more than what you seem

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you are held and you are whole,
Nicole, the cosmos carved its finest work inside your soul
