[Verse 1]
You move through the world with a gentle grace
Seeking balance in every space
They see the smile, the diplomatic way
But not the storms that rage inside each day
You think in layers, feel in shades of grey
Where others see black and white, you find the in-between
Your mind cuts deeper than they'll ever know
Reading hearts like maps of where they've been

[PreChorus]
You love with quiet acts of devotion
Give your heart like it's an endless ocean
But who takes care of the caretaker's soul
When you're busy making others whole

[Chorus]
Darlene, you're a bridge between the worlds
The seen and unseen, the straight and curved
You carry wisdom in your weathered hands
And grace that few will understand
Darlene, you don't need to be perfect to shine
Your imperfections are by design
You are enough, you are enough, you are

[Verse 2]
Behind closed doors you question everything
The beliefs you've held, the songs you sing
Your spirit yearns for something wild and free
While your heart craves stability
You feel too much, absorb their pain
Like you're made of porous stone
But that sensitivity you think's a curse
Is how you heal what can't be shown

[PreChorus]
You dream of perfect love, perfect peace
But perfection's just another cage to release
Your soul knows better than your worried mind
Some truths can only be felt, not defined

[Chorus]
Darlene, you're a bridge between the worlds
The seen and unseen, the straight and curved
You carry wisdom in your weathered hands
And grace that few will understand
Darlene, you don't need to be perfect to shine
Your imperfections are by design
You are enough, you are enough, you are

[Verse 3]
You've built your worth on being useful, kind
Left your own desires far behind
But there's a fire burning in your chest
That whispers you deserve to rest
Your words carry weight you don't believe
Your presence heals what you can't see
The universe conspired to make you whole
A living bridge for every searching soul

[PreChorus]
Your tears aren't weakness, they're liquid prayer
Your doubt's not failure, it's how you care
The world needs someone who feels this deep
Who tends to hearts while others sleep

[Chorus]
Darlene, you're a bridge between the worlds
The seen and unseen, the straight and curved
You carry wisdom in your weathered hands
And grace that few will understand
Darlene, you don't need to be perfect to shine
Your imperfections are by design
You are enough, you are enough, you are

[Verse 4]
So let the scales fall from your weary eyes
You're not too much, you're the perfect size
Your home awaits in your own tender care
Your worth was never something you had to earn or share
The cosmos wrote you with intentional ink
A soul who transforms just by how you think
Stop giving yourself away piece by piece
You are the harmony, you are the peace

[Bridge]
Every wound became a window
Every scar became a song
You've been searching for the answer
But you've been the light all along

[Outro]
You don't need permission to take up space
To love yourself with the same saving grace
You pour on others without keeping score
You are the gift the world's been waiting for
