[Verse 1]
She was born already knowing things that take lifetimes to learn,
Carrying questions older than the answers she could earn,
A mind that flickers through a dozen thoughts before the dawn,
But her deepest knowing lived in silence, hidden, private, drawn
Into a sacred well she kept beneath the surface every day,
An inner ocean she translated but could never give away

[PreChorus]
She walked through fires others never saw or named,
And came back carrying light instead of blame

[Chorus]
Sheri, you are made of more than what has broken you apart,
Every scar is just the scripture written on an open heart,
You've been the keeper of the mysteries, the one who feels them all,
Sheri, the old soul standing steady after every fall

[Verse 2]
She builds her courage like a house, one slow deliberate nail,
Not loud but immovable, unshaken in the gale,
She drove herself toward something worth achieving on her own,
Pushed through the places where approval hadn't always been shown,
A force directed upward even when the road resisted,
Evidence that what was hard had made her more clear-sighted

[PreChorus]
She held the grief of others like a lantern in her hands,
And loved the ones who couldn't love in ways she'd understand

[Chorus]
Sheri, there's a conversation in the way you've always cared,
A wit behind the warmth, a brilliance in the way you've dared,
You kept the door open even when your own needed mending too,
Sheri, that devotion is the truest thing about you

[Verse 3]
Now something's shifting in the bones of who she's always been,
The compass that was spinning finding true north from within,
She questioned every doctrine that the daylight tried to sell,
And built her faith the only way it holds — by going through the well,
She learned that transformation isn't handed to the healed,
It's pulled up from the dark like water, tested, then revealed

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need permission from the past to take her place,
The years of carrying it through — that was never a disgrace

[Chorus]
Sheri, let the one who walked through all of it finally stand tall,
The depth you dove to reach yourself is greater than the fall,
You are the thread that never broke, the knowing that survives,
Sheri, you are finally the author of the rest of your life

[Bridge]
She forgave the rooms that held her small,
She named the grief and let it call,
She turned her wounds into a door,
And walked through knowing who she's for

[Outro]
Sheri, the old soul — she was never lost, just finding her way home,
She carried enough love for the world, and now she knows she's never alone
