[Verse 1]
There's a fire at the center of everything you do
A mind that moves like lightning, a heart that burns right through
You carry calm like armor, but the depths run dark and wide
An ocean underneath the surface nobody sees inside
You've held yourself together through the storms that came alone
And built a life from embers, made a shelter from the bone

[PreChorus]
They see the composure, they don't see the tide
All those fathoms you've been keeping locked inside

[Chorus]
This is for Cheryl, who runs deep and burns bright
Who holds the whole world steady through the longest nights
You are more than what you've carried, more than what you've braved
You were written in the cosmos, you were carefully made

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, slow and rooted to the earth
You give your presence fully but you question your own worth
The longing for a steadiness that no one else can shake
A devotion that runs deeper than the promises you make
You've felt the pull of connection and the fear that comes with trust
Knowing love is transformation, knowing tenderness is trust

[PreChorus]
You give before you're asked for it, you stay when others leave
The ones who earn your loyalty don't know what they receive

[Chorus]
This is for Cheryl, who runs deep and burns bright
Who holds the whole world steady through the longest nights
You are more than what you've carried, more than what you've braved
You were written in the cosmos, you were carefully made

[Verse 3]
There's a wound that lives in questions of your value and your place
A quiet voice that wonders if you're taking up too much space
But every time you've risen from a version of yourself
That doubt became a doorway and a wisdom past all wealth
The things you've had to reckon with have only made you clear
You don't need to keep on proving that you have a right to be here

[PreChorus]
The world has tried to measure you in ways that never fit
You were always so much larger than the boxes that they built

[Chorus]
This is for Cheryl, who runs deep and burns bright
Who holds the whole world steady through the longest nights
You are more than what you've carried, more than what you've braved
You were written in the cosmos, you were carefully made

[Verse 4]
Your Scorpio moon holds memory like water holds its cold
And your Aries heart moves forward like a story to be told
The balance that you search for between stillness and the flame
Is not a flaw to fix inside yourself, it is your name
You are the calm and the current, the ember and the ground
A compass pointing inward where the truest things are found

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the right to rest, to stay, to be
The universe already holds your place, just let yourself breathe

[Bridge]
You were never too much and you were never not enough
Every scar became a lantern through the rough
The path ahead is yours, it's been yours all along
Cheryl, the cosmos built you strong

[Outro]
So let the stars remind you when the night feels hard to face
You were written into being with intention and with grace
You are held, you are here, you are finally enough
Exactly as you are, exactly as you love
