[Verse 1]
There's a fire burning quiet where nobody sees,
A lion at the window, not quite doing as she pleases,
She carries the whole room without raising her voice,
Turns the needs of everyone else into her first choice,
But underneath the service and the steady helping hand,
Is a soul that's vast as oceans, too wide for where she stands,

[PreChorus]
She gives before they ask, she holds before they fall,
But who is holding her through it all?

[Chorus]
Sheryl, you were written in a language hard to fake,
Every wall you built was just a bridge that hadn't waked,
You are the calm, the depth, the mountain and the tide,
Sheryl, you are everything — there's nothing left to hide,

[Verse 2]
She thinks in constellations, speaks in metaphor and light,
Her mind already lives in mornings others call tonight,
She'll notice what you need before the thought has left your lips,
And love you in the margins, in the quiet, in eclipse,
But the critic in the mirror holds a standard made of stone,
As if being less than perfect means she's standing there alone,

[PreChorus]
The flaw she calls a failure is the place where light gets in,
The imperfection always was the treasure, not the sin,

[Chorus]
Sheryl, you were written in a language hard to fake,
Every wall you built was just a bridge that hadn't waked,
You are the calm, the depth, the mountain and the tide,
Sheryl, you are everything — there's nothing left to hide,

[Verse 3]
She's built her home from discipline, from roots she pressed down deep,
From every heavy season that she quietly chose to keep,
There's a wildness in her marrow that convention couldn't hold,
A refusal to be boxed inside somebody else's mold,
She descended into darkness just to bring the lantern back,
And learned that every scar she carries lit the very path,

[PreChorus]
The heaviness she's carried wasn't burden — it was proof,
That she was always strong enough to hold the weight of truth,

[Chorus]
Sheryl, you were written in a language hard to fake,
Every wall you built was just a bridge that hadn't waked,
You are the calm, the depth, the mountain and the tide,
Sheryl, you are everything — there's nothing left to hide,

[Verse 4]
She's learning now to turn that steady care back toward herself,
To stop shelving her own longing like a book upon the shelf,
The stars that shaped her wrote in ink that never meant to fade,
They mapped a soul worth knowing, not a role to be obeyed,
She doesn't need to earn the space that she was born to fill,
The universe already chose her — and it's choosing still,

[PreChorus]
Let the cosmos be the witness to the truth she always knew,
There was never anything that needed fixing — only you,

[Chorus]
Sheryl, you were written in a language hard to fake,
Every wall you built was just a bridge that hadn't waked,
You are the calm, the depth, the mountain and the tide,
Sheryl, you are everything — there's nothing left to hide,

[Bridge]
She doesn't have to prove the light — she carries it in bone,
Every quiet act of grace was never done alone,
The sky that held her at the start is holding her right now,
She was always, always enough — she's only learning how,

[Outro]
So rest inside the knowing, let the proving finally cease,
Sheryl, you were made complete — you were always made complete,
