[Verse 1]
You carry grace like something borrowed from the stars
A mind that sees in shadows what others miss in light
Behind your measured words live depths like hidden scars
You balance every choice until the moment's right
The world sees your composure, steady and refined
But underneath runs water that no one's ever mapped
A heart that holds such beauty, so careful and so kind
While storms of contradiction leave you feeling trapped

[Chorus]
Oh Terry, you're a river running wild beneath the snow
Terry, there's a fire that only you will ever know
You don't need to be perfect, just honest with your soul
Terry, you are guided, you are held, you are whole

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient that remembers every wound
In quiet acts of service, in details no one sees
Your words cut straight to truth when lesser hearts assume
You speak the sacred language of what healing really means
The mirror shows a stranger when you're standing all alone
But others see the lighthouse that guides them through the night
You've built your worth in service, made everyone's pain your own
When all along your presence is the gift, your love the light

[Chorus]
Oh Terry, you're a river running wild beneath the snow
Terry, there's a fire that only you will ever know
You don't need to be perfect, just honest with your soul
Terry, you are guided, you are held, you are whole

[Verse 3]
There's lightning in your thinking, electricity in thought
You transform through the darkness what others fear to face
The mysteries call to you with secrets to be caught
You dance between the worlds with such unconscious grace
Your path leads to the center where few have dared to go
To heal what's been forgotten, to birth what needs to be
The universe conspired to make you everything you know
A bridge between the shadows and what we're meant to see

[Chorus]
Oh Terry, you're a river running wild beneath the snow
Terry, there's a fire that only you will ever know
You don't need to be perfect, just honest with your soul
Terry, you are guided, you are held, you are whole

[Bridge]
Every contradiction is a doorway to your truth
Every question that you carry leads you closer home
The world needs what you offer, needs your seeking, needs your proof
That beauty lives in struggle, that we're never meant to roam alone

[Outro]
So trust the way you're wired, trust the gifts you hold inside
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades
You are enough exactly as you are, no need to hide
You're walking toward the sunrise through the shadows you have made
