[Verse 1]
There's a stillness that you wear like a second skin,
A quiet on the outside, a whole world within,
You move through the noise with your feet on the ground,
You're the kind of deep that most people never found,
They see the calm and they think they know the whole,
But they've never felt the current underneath your soul,
A mind that catches fire before the words arrive,
That restless streak in you is how you come alive.

[PreChorus]
You've carried things in silence that would bring others down,
You've built your strength in secret without making a sound,
But the roots that run the deepest hold the tallest trees,
And everything you've weathered is the making of what you'll be.

[Chorus]
Gail, you are written in the oldest kind of light,
Every scar a chapter, every doubt a night,
But the dawn keeps finding you, it always knows your name,
Gail, you were made for this, you'll never be the same,
The earth beneath your feet has held you all along,
You are deeper than your silence, you are stronger than your song.

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient finding words too small,
Like a tide that rises gently then gives everything, all,
You see the best in people where the shadows hide,
You've been the lighthouse standing while you drift inside,
There's a longing in you shaped like something unexplained,
A search for something holy in the ordinary plain,
You've questioned every comfort and you've tested every wall,
And the seeking itself is the most sacred gift of all.

[PreChorus]
You've held the weight of others like it cost you nothing dear,
You've poured yourself like rainfall and pretended not to hear,
But a heart that gives before it's asked deserves the same in turn,
And the warmth you freely offer is the warmth you've yet to learn.

[Chorus]
Gail, you are written in the oldest kind of light,
Every scar a chapter, every doubt a night,
But the dawn keeps finding you, it always knows your name,
Gail, you were made for this, you'll never be the same,
The earth beneath your feet has held you all along,
You are deeper than your silence, you are stronger than your song.

[Verse 3]
There's a fire in you that logic never quite contained,
A brilliance that broke loose when they tried to keep it chained,
You've felt the pull of somewhere that the compass couldn't name,
And that wandering in you was never restlessness or shame,
You carry generations in the marrow of your bone,
You've turned the hardest inheritance into something of your own,
And the world has felt your presence in the quiet ways you serve,
Every act of grace you've given is the life you now deserve.

[PreChorus]
You don't need to keep explaining what your instincts always knew,
The universe laid something rare and irreplaceable in you,
You are not the doubts that found you in the deep end of the night,
You are every time you chose to trust the barely-there light.

[Chorus]
Gail, you are written in the oldest kind of light,
Every scar a chapter, every doubt a night,
But the dawn keeps finding you, it always knows your name,
Gail, you were made for this, you'll never be the same,
The earth beneath your feet has held you all along,
You are deeper than your silence, you are stronger than your song.

[Bridge]
You don't have to prove the size of what you carry,
You don't have to rush what asks you to be still,
The moon in you knows when to fill and when to empty,
And the ground beneath you always will.
Let the part of you that hides step into sunlight,
Let the version that you doubt come take the stage,
You are not behind the story you were given,
You are exactly on the right page.

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing you are seen,
In every in-between, in all you've ever been,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
Gail, you are not becoming — you were already made.
