[Verse]
Erika, you came in quiet like the tide
With a lion's heart you learned to keep inside
You feel the whole room before you say a word
Carrying everybody's story that you've heard
There's a fire underneath that gentle way
A slow burn nobody taught you how to play
You remember every tone and every touch
Maybe that's the reason that you feel too much

[PreChorus]
But too much was never something you should hide
It's the ocean in you pulling with the tide

[Chorus]
You were built for something deeper than they know
Roots that hold when every wind begins to blow
You don't love in whispers, you love in what you do
Erika, the universe keeps choosing you

[Verse]
You fix the broken things before they ask
You pour yourself in every single task
The ones who matter see the way you care
The coffee ready and the softer chair
But who takes care of you when the night gets long
Who reminds you that you're steady, that you're strong
There's a quiet power written in your bones
A throne you built from patience and from stones

[PreChorus]
You don't need the crown to know that it's your seat
Every scar you carried brought you to your feet

[Chorus]
You were built for something deeper than they know
Roots that hold when every wind begins to blow
You don't love in whispers, you love in what you do
Erika, the universe keeps choosing you

[Bridge]
Let them misread you, let them get it wrong
You were never meant to fit inside their song
Your voice was made for rooms that don't exist yet
For the words the world still hasn't found to say
So choose yourself the way you choose for everyone
The dawn was always waiting, Erika — now run

[Outro]
You were written in a language all your own
Every wave that moved through you has brought you home
And when you wonder if you're seen, if you belong
Remember — you were always the song
