[Verse 1]
He carries oceans underneath a steady face,
A quiet fire burning in a boundless space,
The kind of mind that sees what others overlook,
An open soul that reads the world like a sacred book,
He moves through rooms and leaves a warmth he'll never know,
A deep-rooted current with a gentle undertow

[PreChorus]
He's learning that the things he feels aren't too much to hold,
That every wound he's carried has been turning him to gold

[Chorus]
John David, the stars wrote you with care,
A soul too wide for just one world to bear,
You are the tide, you are the calm, you are the flame,
John David, nothing lost, and nothing's gone to waste

[Verse 2]
He loves like something ancient that refuses to be tamed,
He dives in whole and honest, never halfway, never feigned,
There's a restless mind behind those eyes that won't sit still,
Always chasing the horizon, always sharpening his will,
He's been the keeper of a home inside his chest,
Still building something safe from all the pieces of the rest

[PreChorus]
He doesn't need to prove what he already is,
The world he's meant to build was always going to be his

[Chorus]
John David, the stars wrote you with care,
A soul too wide for just one world to bear,
You are the tide, you are the calm, you are the flame,
John David, nothing lost, and nothing's gone to waste

[Verse 3]
He walks the line between the dreamer and the stone,
Between belonging to the crowd and needing to be alone,
He's questioned every structure, every rule that couldn't hold,
Not out of recklessness but hunger for what's real and bold,
The kind of man who rises quietly after every fall,
Who gives before he's asked and never counts the cost at all

[PreChorus]
He's always been enough, he just forgot along the way,
Let every star bear witness to the truth of what we say

[Chorus]
John David, the stars wrote you with care,
A soul too wide for just one world to bear,
You are the tide, you are the calm, you are the flame,
John David, nothing lost, and nothing's gone to waste

[Bridge]
The cosmos carved him carefully from water, fire, and light,
A soul designed to rise and rise, not just survive the night,
He was never meant to shrink to fit what couldn't see his worth,
There's a legacy inside him quietly waiting to emerge

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing you were always meant to be,
Every road has led you here, and here is where you're free
