[Verse 1]
She moves like she's already mapped the storm inside her chest
A fire that decides before the world has time to guess
She'll give you everything she has before you even ask
And smile like she's not carrying the weight behind the mask
There's an ocean underneath that calm, so wide, so old
She runs so deep that most folks never find the gold

[PreChorus]
She's been the shelter for so many in the rain
But she forgets to come inside and tend her own flame

[Chorus]
Burning bright, Cheri, like the stars that wrote your name
Every scar, every tide, every time you walked through flame
You are more than what you've given, more than what they've seen
Cheri, you are every beautiful impossible thing

[Verse 2]
She loves like it's a sacred thing, like prayer without a word
Goes all the way or not at all, she can't be halfway heard
She'll wrestle with the why of it, the meaning underneath
She's built a whole philosophy from things that caused her grief
They see the bold, they miss the soft, the part that sometimes bleeds
The part that quietly holds together everyone she needs

[PreChorus]
She's chased the truth across a thousand open skies
And found her own belief where all the old ones died

[Chorus]
Burning bright, Cheri, like the stars that wrote your name
Every scar, every tide, every time you walked through flame
You are more than what you've given, more than what they've seen
Cheri, you are every beautiful impossible thing

[Verse 3]
She's learned that worth is not a thing you earn by bleeding dry
That knowing when to rest is not the same as giving up the fight
There's thunder in her laughter and a current in her hands
A compass in her chest that draws the maps no one else planned
She came here with a mission written somewhere in her bones
To love a little louder and to never feel alone

[PreChorus]
The universe was careful when it made her this way
Every contradiction was a gift she'd need someday

[Chorus]
Burning bright, Cheri, like the stars that wrote your name
Every scar, every tide, every time you walked through flame
You are more than what you've given, more than what they've seen
Cheri, you are every beautiful impossible thing

[Bridge]
She doesn't have to prove it, doesn't have to earn the light
She is the calm, she is the tide, she is the fire in the night
The world already needs the thing she's always been
Let her finally rest inside the grace of her own skin

[Outro]
The cosmos wrote her carefully, with ink that never fades
Cheri, you are everything — you've been enough always
