Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every morning at the ranch before sunrise
You're already up, no need to think twice
Feeding horses, checking fences, rain or shine
While others sleep, you're working down the line
I see you tend to every injured deer
The way you handle scared animals, no fear
Teaching me that care takes dedication
Your daily grind becomes my inspiration
[Chorus]
Watching you work shows me what I can be
Nicole, you're the example that I needed to see
[Verse 2]
Remember when that stray dog came around
Hurt and scared, wouldn't make a sound
You stayed up all night to ease its pain
Next day at work, you did the same
Never complained about the extra load
Just walked that path down the rocky road
People said you're taking on too much
But that's your way - the healing touch
[Chorus]
Watching you work shows me what I can be
Nicole, you're the example that I needed to see
[Verse 3]
Now when I face my own mountains to climb
I think about your strength and take my time
The lessons learned from watching you each day
Hard work and heart go hand in hand, they say
You showed me how to push when times get rough
Stand tall and proud when the road gets tough
More than a friend, you're the guide I see
Thanks for showing what I can truly be
[Chorus]
Watching you work shows me what I can be
Nicole, you're the example that I needed to see
