[Verse 1]
She reads the room before she reads the page,
A mind like open sky, a heart like something ancient and sage,
She speaks the truth like it's the only kindness left to give,
Tells it straight, then wonders if that's how you're supposed to live,
The surface calm, the ocean underneath,
She carries whole worlds in a single breath

[PreChorus]
They see the smile and miss the tide,
All that depth she keeps locked up inside

[Chorus]
Sherry, you were written in the dark before the dawn,
Every scar a sentence in the story going on,
You are the fire and the stillness, you're the question and the truth,
Sherry, the whole sky conspired just to build someone like you

[Verse 2]
She loves like it's a covenant, not a casual thing,
Like friendship is the root before the flowering,
She'll rebuild the broken walls and never ask for praise,
She gives her best in silence through the long and heavy days,
But underneath the duty runs a restlessness and flame,
A wildness that no structure ever fully tamed

[PreChorus]
She holds the weight like it belongs to her,
But some of it was never hers to carry there

[Chorus]
Sherry, you were written in the dark before the dawn,
Every scar a sentence in the story going on,
You are the fire and the stillness, you're the question and the truth,
Sherry, the whole sky conspired just to build someone like you

[Verse 3]
She's descended into shadows most would never dare to face,
Come back up with lanterns made of hard-won inner grace,
The healer who forgot to heal the wounds she keeps inside,
The dreamer who convinced herself that dreaming was a lie,
But the compass never stopped, it always knew the way,
She was never truly lost, just learning how to stay

[PreChorus]
The universe engraved her name in stone,
She was never, not for one breath, alone

[Chorus]
Sherry, you were written in the dark before the dawn,
Every scar a sentence in the story going on,
You are the fire and the stillness, you're the question and the truth,
Sherry, the whole sky conspired just to build someone like you

[Bridge]
A Cancer moon is rising, tender, new, and clear,
Washing out the old weight, drawing something real and near,
Let it open what you've guarded, let the tide come in,
Everything you are has always been enough to begin

[Outro]
You don't need to earn the light you already are,
Sherry, you were always written in the stars
