[Verse 1]
She carries the world like it weighs nothing at all,
A steady composure, a well-measured wall,
But underneath order, a tide pulls and bends,
A heart made of questions that never quite ends,
She sees what is broken before others can tell,
And quietly holds what she doesn't quite sell

[PreChorus]
The calm that they see is only the shore,
There's fathoms of feeling they haven't seen before

[Chorus]
You are seen, Shirley, every layer and scar,
The fire that travels, the depth that goes far,
The one who loves wholly but guards what she gave,
You are known, Shirley, you are more than brave

[Verse 2]
She loves like a river that moves underground,
Devoted and fierce in the places not found,
She gives before asking, she stays when it's hard,
She reads every room but she doesn't show cards,
They see the composed one, the capable face,
They miss the whole cosmos she carries with grace

[PreChorus]
She's building on bedrock but reaching for sky,
A woman who questions the reason and why

[Chorus]
You are seen, Shirley, every layer and scar,
The fire that travels, the depth that goes far,
The one who loves wholly but guards what she gave,
You are known, Shirley, you are more than brave

[Verse 3]
She's walked through the fire and come back refined,
A searcher, a healer, a quietly wild mind,
She's learning that worth isn't earned in the proof,
That rest is not failing, that soft is not ruse,
The world needs the truth that she carries inside,
The light that she dims when she's trying to hide

[PreChorus]
She was written in something that does not erase,
A soul that was mapped long before time and place

[Chorus]
You are seen, Shirley, every layer and scar,
The fire that travels, the depth that goes far,
The one who loves wholly but guards what she gave,
You are known, Shirley, you are more than brave

[Bridge]
Every wound that you carried became something wise,
Every doubt that you buried still taught you to rise,
You don't need to earn what was yours from the start,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, straight from the heart

[Outro]
So rest in the knowing, let someone hold you,
You are enough, every version that's true,
The stars didn't scatter your light by mistake,
You are exactly the soul you were born to make
