[Verse 1]
Two minds living inside one skin,
A curious flame that won't be reined in,
Quick to the thought, slow to the trust,
Building a home from the things that are just,
There's a world behind the one that you show,
A tide running deep where the still waters go

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, they don't see the weight,
The one who holds it all, who rarely breaks

[Chorus]
Written in the dark between the known and the unknown,
Gayle, you are the mystery and the light you've always owned,
Every hidden room inside you holds a truth worth being found,
You were mapped before the morning, and the stars don't get it wrong

[Verse 2]
You love with your whole body and bone,
You build with your hands what you need to feel home,
Loyal as the earth beneath a winter tree,
Giving before you're asked, so quietly,
But the heart that fills the cup for everyone,
Forgets to drink until the day is done

[PreChorus]
You've carried what the world could never see,
That kind of strength becomes its own country

[Chorus]
Written in the dark between the known and the unknown,
Gayle, you are the mystery and the light you've always owned,
Every hidden room inside you holds a truth worth being found,
You were mapped before the morning, and the stars don't get it wrong

[Verse 3]
You've sat with the wreckage and found the gold,
Descended into shadow and come back whole,
That mind of yours turns over every stone,
Not because you doubt but because you've grown,
The ones who need the answers most this way,
Are the ones who hold the lantern for the rest someday

[PreChorus]
What looked like too much feeling was the gift,
The depth that others call the undertow, you call the shift

[Chorus]
Written in the dark between the known and the unknown,
Gayle, you are the mystery and the light you've always owned,
Every hidden room inside you holds a truth worth being found,
You were mapped before the morning, and the stars don't get it wrong

[Verse 4]
There's a fire in you that moves before the world can catch,
A longing for the true thing, not the counterfeit or match,
You've refused the box they built and called it your address,
You've walked the longer road and made a map of what is left,
And every scar became a knowing and every wound a door,
You were never lost, just learning what your compass was made for

[PreChorus]
The universe has held the thread through every unraveling seam,
You are enough, exactly as you are, not as you think you need to be

[Chorus]
Written in the dark between the known and the unknown,
Gayle, you are the mystery and the light you've always owned,
Every hidden room inside you holds a truth worth being found,
You were mapped before the morning, and the stars don't get it wrong

[Bridge]
Let the tides inside you rise without apology,
Your softness is not weakness, it's the rarest alchemy,
You don't have to earn the right to take up room and breathe,
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't leave

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you were never just enough,
You were always more than that, and it was always written in the stars
