[Verse 1]
She was born between the ridgeline and the river's pull,
A seeker with a compass and a heart perpetually full,
The kind who reads the water, reads the sky before the rain,
Who weighs the cost of leaving and still boards the trail again,
She's carried more than most would know beneath a steady face,
A mountain-built composure wearing wildflowers and grace

[PreChorus]
But every ridge she's climbed has led her somewhere true,
And every dawn she's earned has lit a wider, deeper view

[Chorus]
Sheri, you are every path you've dared to walk alone,
The laugh beside the campfire and the faith that brought you home,
You are river-deep and mountain-wide and rooted to the sky,
Sheri, you were always made to let your whole soul fly

[Verse 2]
There were years she measured joy in careful, cautious drops,
Like someone learned too early that the singing always stops,
So she folded her delight into the quiet work of days,
Tucked her laughter in the treeline where the afternoon light stays,
But glee won't stay in pockets, it comes rushing through the pines,
And the woman built for wonder keeps on finding all the signs

[PreChorus]
She's learning every scar she's kept has made her sight more clear,
And the songs she long kept silent are the ones the world needs to hear

[Chorus]
Sheri, you are every story that you've carried through the years,
The music in the morning and the grit behind the tears,
You are childlike in your wonder and unbreakable inside,
Sheri, you were always meant to feel this deep and wide

[Verse 3]
She loves by keeping vigil over every small, true thing,
The mug beside a loved one's hand, the note left in the spring,
She feels the room before she speaks, she reads between the lines,
She holds the door and holds her tongue and quietly realigns,
But when she trusts, she trusts all the way down to the bone,
The kind of love that doesn't fold when left to hold alone

[PreChorus]
She's found that every time she chose to stay and not to flee,
She came out on the other side more thoroughly set free

[Chorus]
Sheri, you are every bridge you've built across the unknown,
The laughter shared at midnight and the grace that you have shown,
You are peace that's been hard-won and faith that's been well-tried,
Sheri, you were always burning like a lantern deep inside

[Verse 4]
Now a new page opens quiet as the moon above the hill,
And Sheri stops to taste the moment — golden, standing still,
The mountains haven't moved but she has learned to meet their gaze,
No longer passing through but choosing finally to stay,
She savors every songbird and the cedar-scented air,
The adventure isn't over — it was always, always there

[PreChorus]
She takes the trail with open hands and lifts her eyes to find,
That everything she's ever loved is walking just behind

[Chorus]
Sheri, you are rivers that have learned to trust their own direction,
The starlit kind of laughter and a soul built for connection,
You are music, you are mountains, you are moon above the pine,
Sheri, you are everything — and now you're finally mine

[Bridge]
Let the current carry what she can no longer hold,
Let the stars remind her she was written to be bold,
Let the trees bear witness to the woman she has grown,
Every moment she has savored she has never been alone

[Outro]
Sheri, taste it all — the wild, the warm, the wondering,
She is the song the mountains have been holding, echoing
