[Verse 1]
She carries mountains like they weigh nothing at all
Builds her foundations before she'll let herself fall
A mind full of oceans, a voice built for truth
Still questioning quietly everything she moved through
They see the stillness, they don't see the tide
All those fathoms running fierce and deep inside

[PreChorus]
She sorts through the chaos to find solid ground
A heart that won't rest till the lost things are found

[Chorus]
Written in winter, steady and rare
Cheryl, the cosmos put something right there
A soul made of patience and storm-tested stone
The stars mapped your journey — you've never been alone

[Verse 2]
She loves like a secret kept close to the bone
All or nothing, no halfway, no half-hearted home
She'll guard every door till the trust has been earned
Then give the whole fire — every lesson she learned
They see the composure, they don't see the ache
The depth of devotion she carries and makes

[PreChorus]
She's the one who holds everyone else through the night
Then folds up her own wounds and keeps them from sight

[Chorus]
Written in winter, steady and rare
Cheryl, the cosmos put something right there
A soul made of patience and storm-tested stone
The stars mapped your journey — you've never been alone

[Verse 3]
She reads between lines that the rest let go past
Sees meaning in movement, in shadows that last
A hunger for purpose that can't be contained
A need to build something that withstands the rain
The wound of not knowing if shining is safe
Has quietly become her most luminous place

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need proving, she never did need
The recognition was always already freed

[Chorus]
Written in winter, steady and rare
Cheryl, the cosmos put something right there
A soul made of patience and storm-tested stone
The stars mapped your journey — you've never been alone

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn what was written in light
The cracks in your armor are where you shine bright
The version you hide is the one worth the most
You are not too much — you are perfectly close

[Outro]
Let the winter hold you, let the deep roots stay
You were built for exactly this moment, this day
Cheryl, you're enough — you always have been
The universe carved you and called it a gift
