[Verse 1]
You carry fire beneath the calm
A restless heart that won't be stilled
Your mind moves fast while others palm
The surface truths that leave you unfulfilled
There's depth in every word you speak
And brilliance in your changing thoughts
The world assumes you're mild and meek
But underneath runs lightning caught

[PreChorus]
They see the smile, they miss the storm
All those currents running strong
You've learned to shift and transform
Been dancing to a different song

[Chorus]
Gayle, you're more than they can see
A mind that questions everything
You love like something wild and free
Like poetry the heart can sing
Gayle, you don't need their applause
Your worth isn't measured by their laws
You are enough, you always were
A gentle rebel, that's for sure

[Verse 2]
You've built your walls with careful hands
Around the tender parts inside
While seeking someone who understands
The oceans that you choose to hide
Your love flows deep like ancient streams
With empathy that knows no end
Sometimes you lose yourself in dreams
Of souls with whom your spirit blends

[PreChorus]
You give your heart before it's asked
Then wonder why it feels too much
But healing others is your task
Your gift is in that gentle touch

[Chorus]
Gayle, you're more than they can see
A mind that questions everything
You love like something wild and free
Like poetry the heart can sing
Gayle, you don't need their applause
Your worth isn't measured by their laws
You are enough, you always were
A gentle rebel, that's for sure

[Verse 3]
The future calls with whispered plans
While past achievements feel too small
You doubt yourself but still you stand
And somehow rise above it all
Your service matters more than praise
Your quiet strength moves mountains slow
Through ordinary working days
You plant the seeds that help things grow

[PreChorus]
The universe has mapped your way
Through duty into something more
Each challenge faced shows who you are
A wisdom keeper to the core

[Chorus]
Gayle, you're more than they can see
A mind that questions everything
You love like something wild and free
Like poetry the heart can sing
Gayle, you don't need their applause
Your worth isn't measured by their laws
You are enough, you always were
A gentle rebel, that's for sure

[Bridge]
Let the waters of your heart
Flow exactly as they will
Every scar became a chart
Leading to a deeper still
You're allowed to change your mind
You're allowed to feel it all
The cosmos wrote you undefined
Beautiful beyond their call

[Outro]
So trust the currents that you ride
Between the practical and dream
Your contradictions are your guide
More perfect than they've ever seen
