[Verse 1]
There's a fire that moves before the world can catch up
You strike first, ask questions when the dust settles down
They see the armor, miss the ocean underneath
All those tides that rise and fall without a sound
You've learned to shine when others need the spotlight
But the stage feels empty when you're standing there alone
Building kingdoms for the people that you love
While forgetting you deserve a place called home

[Chorus]
Shirly, you're a lightning bolt wrapped in velvet
Dancing between the thunder and the rain
Every wound became wisdom, every scar became art
You don't need permission to take up space
The universe conspired to make you exactly this way
Shirly, you're enough just as you are today

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like water, finding cracks in everything
Seeing beauty where others only see the broken glass
You love like something ancient and unbound
Like a prayer that doesn't need to be asked
They mistake your kindness for something they can take
But there's steel beneath that gentle, giving heart
You feel everything a thousand times too deep
Then wonder why the world can tear you apart

[Chorus]
Shirly, you're a lightning bolt wrapped in velvet
Dancing between the thunder and the rain
Every wound became wisdom, every scar became art
You don't need permission to take up space
The universe conspired to make you exactly this way
Shirly, you're enough just as you are today

[Verse 3]
There's a calling in your bones to heal what's hurting
To stand behind the scenes and lift others up
But the healer needs healing, the giver needs receiving
And your empty cup deserves to be filled up
You carry dreams too big for ordinary thinking
Your spirit knows a language the world hasn't learned
Every contradiction makes you more complete
Every question is a bridge you haven't burned

[Chorus]
Shirly, you're a lightning bolt wrapped in velvet
Dancing between the thunder and the rain
Every wound became wisdom, every scar became art
You don't need permission to take up space
The universe conspired to make you exactly this way
Shirly, you're enough just as you are today

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades
Your intuition is a compass pointing home
You don't have to carry everyone's salvation
You're allowed to let your own garden grow

[Outro]
There's a fire that moves before the world can catch up
And that fire, that force, that light—that's you
You're guided, you're held, you're exactly enough
The world needs what you carry, so let it shine through
