[Verse 1]
You speak the truth when others speak in code
A fire burns that won't stay quiet long
They see your smile but miss the weight you hold
The way you carry others makes you strong
Your heart's an ocean wrapped in earthly skin
You feel too much then lock it all away

[PreChorus]
Behind those careful walls you've learned to build
There's lightning waiting to illuminate

[Chorus]
Teri, you're the storm that clears the air
The depth that shallow waters never dare
You love like ancient rivers running deep
Teri, you're the secret others keep
Inside their prayers when they need something real
You're all the things they wish that they could feel

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves fast through twenty different worlds
While others stick to paths already carved
You see what's hidden underneath their words
The tender spots they think they've kept well-guarded
Security means knowing you're enough
Not what you own or what you've left behind

[PreChorus]
Your gentle rebellion changes everything
Without a sound, without a battle cry

[Chorus]
Teri, you're the storm that clears the air
The depth that shallow waters never dare
You love like ancient rivers running deep
Teri, you're the secret others keep
Inside their prayers when they need something real
You're all the things they wish that they could feel

[Verse 3]
They call it intensity, you call it care
The way you dive where others fear to swim
You've turned your wounds into a sacred prayer
Each scar became a light you carry within
Your presence shifts the room before you speak
A quiet power that doesn't need to prove

[PreChorus]
The world needs healers who have walked through fire
And found their strength in learning how to soothe

[Chorus]
Teri, you're the storm that clears the air
The depth that shallow waters never dare
You love like ancient rivers running deep
Teri, you're the secret others keep
Inside their prayers when they need something real
You're all the things they wish that they could feel

[Verse 4]
Your dreams reach past the edges of this earth
You're building something beautiful and new
Home isn't where you started, it's your worth
The family that you've chosen and you grew
You don't need permission to be whole
Or proof that all your feelings matter here

[Bridge]
The universe conspired to make you this way
Part mystic, part rebel, part home
Every contradiction serves a purpose
You were never meant to be simple
You were meant to be real

[Outro]
You're guided by the stars you cannot see
You're held by love that asks for nothing back
You're exactly who you're meant to be
Nothing missing, nothing that you lack
