[Verse 1]
He carries mountains like they're feathers in his hand,
Builds his world with patience, brick by brick on shifting sand,
There's a quiet kind of thunder in the way he holds his ground,
An ocean running underneath without a single sound,
He weighs every word before it leaves his tongue,
Carrying wisdom that belongs to someone twice his age when young,

[PreChorus]
They see the steady surface, cool and still,
They don't see the current or the depth of what he feels,

[Chorus]
Written in the winter sky, mapped before the dawn,
Shannan, you were built for this, even when it's hard to carry on,
Every scar you've gathered is a language, not a stain,
You are so much more than what survived the rain,

[Verse 2]
He loves like something ancient, like a tide that won't retreat,
Craves the kind of merging where two souls completely meet,
He's searched for balance in the arms of those who couldn't hold the weight,
Given more than asked, arrived before they opened up the gate,
The harmony he offers is a rare and tender thing,
Not everyone deserves the depth that he is willing to bring,

[PreChorus]
He's felt the ache of speaking and not being truly heard,
Like the clearest thought dissolving into someone else's words,

[Chorus]
Written in the winter sky, mapped before the dawn,
Shannan, you were built for this, even when it's hard to carry on,
Every scar you've gathered is a language, not a stain,
You are so much more than what survived the rain,

[Verse 3]
There's a visionary burning somewhere just behind his eyes,
A hunger for the kind of truth that ordinary life disguises,
He questions what the world accepts without a second thought,
Finds the sacred in the corners where the light has never caught,
His purpose isn't small, it's wide enough to hold a crowd,
And the life he's here to build will make the quiet ones feel proud,

[PreChorus]
He doesn't need to prove it to deserve the space he fills,
The cosmos wrote him carefully and nothing in him spills,

[Chorus]
Written in the winter sky, mapped before the dawn,
Shannan, you were built for this, even when it's hard to carry on,
Every scar you've gathered is a language, not a stain,
You are so much more than what survived the rain,

[Bridge]
Let the weight you've carried be the root, not just the cost,
Nothing that has shaped you has been wasted, nothing lost,
You are held by something older than the doubts inside your head,
Rest in who you are right now, not who you'll be instead,

[Outro]
The stars don't make mistakes, they never have before,
Shannan, you are exactly what this world was waiting for,
