[Verse 1]
She reads the room before a word is spoken,
Feels the hairline cracks before the glass is broken,
Walks in wearing calm like it's a second skin,
But there's a whole ocean turning deep within,
She's built of fire and longing, truth and grace,
A soul too wide to fit a single space

[PreChorus]
She learned to lock the tender parts away,
But every wall she built still let the light in anyway

[Chorus]
Cheryl, the sky wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
You are the arrow and the archer, you are how the dawn is made,
Every scar became a compass, every storm became a map,
You were always the answer to the question that you had

[Verse 2]
She chases meaning like it's always one step ahead,
Turns her wounds into the truest things she's ever said,
Her mind moves down through layers, never rests at the surface,
Searching all the in-between for something with a purpose,
She gives her love in gestures quiet and refined,
The kind of love that costs her something every time

[PreChorus]
She's held the weight of other people's skies,
But even Atlas had to rest his eyes

[Chorus]
Cheryl, the sky wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
You are the arrow and the archer, you are how the dawn is made,
Every scar became a compass, every storm became a map,
You were always the answer to the question that you had

[Verse 3]
There's a new moon rising over everything she's known,
Calling back the seeds of all the courage she has sown,
She's stood at the edge of reinvention more than once,
Chose the harder road when she could've chosen the comfortable ones,
The world doesn't always see the depth behind those eyes,
But the stars have always known exactly what she hides

[PreChorus]
This moment is an opening, a door held wide,
She doesn't have to earn the life that's waiting just inside

[Chorus]
Cheryl, the sky wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
You are the arrow and the archer, you are how the dawn is made,
Every scar became a compass, every storm became a map,
You were always the answer to the question that you had

[Bridge]
She doesn't need to be unbroken to be whole,
Every tender place she guards is proof of a devoted soul,
The universe didn't make a mistake when it made her this way,
She was always more than enough for this moment, for today

[Outro]
Let the new moon find you rested, let it find you free,
Cheryl, you were always exactly who you were meant to be
