[Verse 1]
She carries whole oceans behind steady eyes,
A mind full of lightning beneath quiet skies,
She thinks in frequencies the room can't quite hear,
Sees the shape of tomorrow before it appears,
There's a hunger for meaning wrapped into her bones,
A visionary heart that has never felt alone in a crowd

[PreChorus]
She gives before she's asked, loves before she's sure,
Holds the world together while she tends her own war

[Chorus]
Cheryl, you were written in the spaces between,
The most extraordinary ordinary thing,
Every tide that pulled you under made you wide and deep,
Cheryl, you are so much more than what they get to keep

[Verse 2]
She learned early to guard what she felt like a flame,
Built a room for her tenderness, gave it no name,
But the love that she carries is ancient and wide,
Like a prayer she keeps burning on the inside,
She dove headfirst into hearts, came up bruised but not done,
Still believing in connection like she trusts in the sun

[PreChorus]
The walls she built were proof of how much she could feel,
Not a flaw in the making — just evidence she's real

[Chorus]
Cheryl, you were written in the spaces between,
The most extraordinary ordinary thing,
Every tide that pulled you under made you wide and deep,
Cheryl, you are so much more than what they get to keep

[Verse 3]
She translates the stars into language the lost understand,
Turns her own excavation into something that can land,
She's the roots beneath the family no one thought to name,
She's the one who holds the thread when everything became flame,
And the world she's always wanted lives somewhere in her chest,
She's been building it in silence — she just never stopped to rest

[PreChorus]
This new moon rising calls her name across the dark,
Something waking, something shifting, something opening her heart

[Chorus]
Cheryl, you were written in the spaces between,
The most extraordinary ordinary thing,
Every tide that pulled you under made you wide and deep,
Cheryl, you are so much more than what they get to keep

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
Every contradiction in you is a choice the heavens made,
You don't have to keep proving what was always, always true,
The universe has known your name, and it is proud of you

[Outro]
Rest now, let the current carry what you cannot hold,
Cheryl, you were never lost — you were becoming whole
