[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you face the morning light
A charge that moves before the world can catch its flight
But underneath the boldness lives a softer tide
An ocean full of feeling that you've learned to hide
You carry worlds inside you like a quiet storm
Too deep for simple answers, too alive for norm

[PreChorus]
They see the surface burning, they don't see the sea
They don't know how much it costs you just to breathe

[Chorus]
Gail, you are the ember and the rain combined
A flame that heals the broken things it leaves behind
You don't have to earn the right to take up space
You were written by the cosmos with extraordinary grace

[Verse 2]
You love like a conversation that refuses to end
With wit and warmth and wonder you become a friend
But trust has been a currency you've spent with care
Some doors stayed locked so long you forgot the stairs
You give before they ask you, that's the way you're made
A heart that keeps on offering though it's been afraid

[PreChorus]
The caution that you carry is a kind of wisdom too
Every wall you ever built was trying to protect you

[Chorus]
Gail, you are the ember and the rain combined
A flame that heals the broken things it leaves behind
You don't have to earn the right to take up space
You were written by the cosmos with extraordinary grace

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves like a river with a current underground
It catches what the surface world has never even found
You've walked through transformation more than once alone
And every time you surfaced you came closer to your own
The hunger to be seen for what you truly are inside
Was never a weakness — it was how the light survived

[PreChorus]
The universe laid roots beneath you all along
What felt like falling forward was you finding where you belong

[Chorus]
Gail, you are the ember and the rain combined
A flame that heals the broken things it leaves behind
You don't have to earn the right to take up space
You were written by the cosmos with extraordinary grace

[Bridge]
The world receives what you carry more than you will know
Every scar became a lantern, every wound became a glow
You are held by something ancient, something wide and true
There is nothing left to prove — the stars already chose you

[Outro]
So let the season open like a door you've earned
You are exactly who you needed to become
Gail, you are enough
