[Verse 1]
They see the surface, still and composed,
They don't see the oceans you keep enclosed,
A mind that reads rooms before words are said,
That carries the weight of what's left unsaid,
You feel the truth beneath the things that show,
A depth that most will never fully know,

[PreChorus]
But the current running through you isn't chaos, it's a gift,
Every layer that you carry is the thing that makes you lift,

[Chorus]
Nicole, you were written in the water and the dark,
There's a universe of meaning living quiet in your heart,
Nicole, you don't have to prove the fire that you are,
The cosmos drew you carefully — a necessary star,

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient and unnamed,
Like a vow you take before the words are claimed,
You give the kind of loyalty that costs,
You grieve in silence every time it's lost,
And yes, you've built a fortress, stone by stone,
But even that was wisdom — not being alone,

[PreChorus]
The walls you raised were never signs of weakness or of fear,
They were the proof that what you guard inside is something dear,

[Chorus]
Nicole, you were written in the water and the dark,
There's a universe of meaning living quiet in your heart,
Nicole, you don't have to prove the fire that you are,
The cosmos drew you carefully — a necessary star,

[Verse 3]
There's a wound that lives beneath the need to do,
The quiet ache of wondering if you break through,
If just being here is ever quite enough,
If the tender parts of you are too soft or too rough,
Let this be the answer you've been waiting to receive —
You were never meant to earn the right to breathe,

[PreChorus]
The home you've always searched for isn't somewhere you must find,
It was built inside your bones, it was yours the whole time,

[Chorus]
Nicole, you were written in the water and the dark,
There's a universe of meaning living quiet in your heart,
Nicole, you don't have to prove the fire that you are,
The cosmos drew you carefully — a necessary star,

[Verse 4]
You're called to something wider than yourself,
To lay the hidden treasure on the shelf,
Your voice was made to carry what you've learned,
To bridge the sacred knowing you have earned,
The world is changed by those who feel it all,
And you were never broken — just that tall,

[PreChorus]
There's a path that's always known your name, that bends to meet your pace,
And every scar you carry is the map that leads you to your place,

[Chorus]
Nicole, you were written in the water and the dark,
There's a universe of meaning living quiet in your heart,
Nicole, you don't have to prove the fire that you are,
The cosmos drew you carefully — a necessary star,

[Bridge]
You are held by something older than your doubt,
You are more than all the fears you carry out,
Every tide that pulled you under taught you how to rise,
You were always whole — just learning your own size,

[Outro]
So rest inside the truth the stars have always known,
Nicole, you are enough — and you are not alone,
The light you carry quietly is still a kind of flame,
And you were written on purpose — exactly as you came,
