[Verse 1]
She carries the weight of a crown no one handed her twice,
A name built from long days and a standard she set with precision,
Her mind runs like a current that cuts through the noise to the core,
And the questions she asked about the world kept unlocking new doors,
There's gold at the top of the mountain she climbed without map or decree,
She didn't wait for permission — she showed up and let herself be seen

[PreChorus]
But even the boldest fire learns what the long dark costs,
And she kept every vigil for others while counting her own private loss

[Chorus]
Sherry, the stage was always yours to command,
You were built from conviction, not from someone else's plan,
Every truth that you chased and every door that you broke,
That's the anthem, Sherry — that's the life you wrote

[Verse 2]
She holds what she loves with the steadiness of a hand that won't slip,
No casual devotion — every bond sealed like a writ,
She found her deepest belonging in the conversations that grew,
The kind where the person across from her walked out with a wider view,
She fought for what mattered by showing up, staying, and choosing to care,
And the rarest ones recognized she was a sanctuary there

[PreChorus]
Still she swallowed the wondering — am I asking for too much?
That electric mind of hers outrunning every gentle human touch

[Chorus]
Sherry, the room always changed when you walked through the door,
What the crowd called too certain, you knew was just knowing your core,
Every alliance you forged and every hard truth you spoke,
That's the anthem, Sherry — that's the life you wrote

[Verse 3]
The full sky tonight is pouring its light on the path she has earned,
Every ledger she balanced, every lesson she patiently learned,
The joy she once guarded behind a responsible face,
She's reclaiming it now in the open — her rightful and luminous space,
The world she envisioned before anyone else could arrive,
Is the world she's been building, and look — it is finally alive

[PreChorus]
This is the hour the long-running second draft becomes the final draft done,
The one who led everybody else now steps into the sun

[Chorus]
Sherry, every vision you carried has always been real,
What they called too ambitious was just you knowing the deal,
Every frontier you crossed and every banner you broke,
That's the anthem, Sherry — that's the life you wrote

[Bridge]
The full moon's revealing what you always already knew,
That the courage behind every choice was entirely you,
No title required, no tribunal, no proof to defend,
You were sovereign at the start — you are sovereign again

[Outro]
Sherry, the sky kept your name in its record all along,
What rises tonight was never lost — it just waited to sing its song
