[Verse 1]
He moves like fire that decided long before the spark,
A mind that catches light and runs straight into the dark,
He feels everything at once but keeps the ocean in his chest,
Puts everyone around him first and quietly forgets the rest,
There's a boldness in the way he walks before the road appears,
And a tenderness he buries deep beneath his fearless years

[PreChorus]
He's carried more than anyone has ever stopped to see,
But every weight he's lifted built a quiet kind of sovereignty

[Chorus]
Karl, you are the fire and the steady ground below,
The one who burns to serve and still has room to grow,
You were written in the stars with a purpose all your own,
Karl, you were never lost — you were always heading home

[Verse 2]
He loves the way the earth loves — slow and without show,
He doesn't say it lightly but he means it when he goes,
He's chased the edge of meaning, turned the ordinary bright,
Held his tongue in crowded rooms then bled it out at night,
There's a wound he's learned to carry like a compass in his hand,
The places that once broke him are the places where he stands

[PreChorus]
He reads the room before it speaks, he heals before he's asked,
But who has ever held him underneath his own steadfast?

[Chorus]
Karl, you are the fire and the steady ground below,
The one who burns to serve and still has room to grow,
You were written in the stars with a purpose all your own,
Karl, you were never lost — you were always heading home

[Verse 3]
He questions what the world calls true and builds his own belief,
A quiet revolutionary underneath the ordinary grief,
He's walked through his own shadow and he came back with the light,
Not the version people wanted — something realer, something right,
He doesn't need to prove the things that pulse beneath his skin,
The universe already knows the depth that lives within

[PreChorus]
He is more than what the hard years asked of him to give,
He was always enough — just enough, exactly as he lives

[Chorus]
Karl, you are the fire and the steady ground below,
The one who burns to serve and still has room to grow,
You were written in the stars with a purpose all your own,
Karl, you were never lost — you were always heading home

[Bridge]
Let the bones of every old battle rest,
You don't have to earn the right to be blessed,
The cosmos mapped your name before the dawn,
Everything you are is what you've always been — hold on

[Outro]
The stars don't write you ordinary, they never did,
Karl, you were the miracle they hid,
Rest now in the knowing you are seen,
You are held, you are whole, you have always been
