[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that no one ever sees,
An ocean running fathoms deep beneath the breeze,
You hold the whole world steady with a quiet hand,
While everything you carry, no one understands,
Two fish inside one current, pulling either way,
You feel it all at once and still you face the day,

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the undertow,
The depth it took to build the light you always show,

[Chorus]
Cheryl, you were written by the water and the sky,
A soul too wide for small rooms, born to wonder why,
Every wave that wore you down just carved you more refined,
You are ancient, you are boundless, you are one of a kind,

[Verse 2]
You learned to guard your heart before the world asked why,
Built something strong and silent just to still survive,
But that wall was never weakness, it was wisdom earned,
A sanctuary built from every lesson learned,
You love with something older than the words you own,
Rare enough to frighten people, rare enough to hold,

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, shining, catching morning light,
They don't know what it cost you just to make it right,

[Chorus]
Cheryl, you were written by the water and the sky,
A soul too wide for small rooms, born to wonder why,
Every wave that wore you down just carved you more refined,
You are ancient, you are boundless, you are one of a kind,

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves like a current through a hundred open doors,
Always searching past the answer for the truth beneath the floors,
You question every system, every gospel, every creed,
Not from lack of faith, but hunger for what's real and freed,
You built a compass from the wreckage of belief,
And found a north that's yours alone and holds in grief,

[PreChorus]
The world called it restlessness, you know it was a call,
A sacred kind of longing to be present for it all,

[Chorus]
Cheryl, you were written by the water and the sky,
A soul too wide for small rooms, born to wonder why,
Every wave that wore you down just carved you more refined,
You are ancient, you are boundless, you are one of a kind,

[Verse 4]
You've walked through rooms of fire just to find what won't burn,
You've circled back through shadow for the lessons it would earn,
And when the roots ran dark and tangled, still you grew toward grace,
Still became a kind of shelter, still a steadying place,
The world has needed everything you thought was too much to give,
Every scar, a kind of starlight, every wound, a way to live,

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the right to rest or take up room,
You were always meant to bloom,

[Bridge]
The cosmos doesn't write in accidents or chance,
You were placed here with intention, not just circumstance,
Everything you've carried quietly becomes the gift you give,
You are not here to survive this life — you're here to live,

[Outro]
Cheryl, the stars don't forget what they've made,
And you were made of something that will never fade,
Still water, deep current, still here, unafraid,
