[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the stillness that nobody sees
A mind that moves like water, thoughts blown like summer leaves
He feels the room before he enters, carries what he finds
A gentle current running deep through complicated tides
The world sees steady hands at work, a voice that's clear and strong
What they don't see is everything he's carried all along

[PreChorus]
The weight of worth has tested him, the mirror told him lies
But every doubt he's wrestled with has made him twice as wise

[Chorus]
This is for Ben, written in the sky
A Cancer soul with oceans in his eyes
Ben, you were made for more than getting by
You are exactly right, you are exactly right

[Verse 2]
He loves like something slow and sure, like roots beneath the stone
Devoted once he's given in, but careful with his home
He's chased the horizon for a truth that fits just right
Built his own map from the wreckage of a thousand restless nights
The beauty that he reaches for is real and it is deep
A loyalty so permanent it's never just on lease

[PreChorus]
The tension between holding on and breaking something free
Is just the forge where who he is becomes who he will be

[Chorus]
This is for Ben, written in the sky
A Cancer soul with oceans in his eyes
Ben, you were made for more than getting by
You are exactly right, you are exactly right

[Verse 3]
He's never quite belonged inside the mold they tried to make
Too wide a mind, too full a heart, too much at stake
The questions that have haunted him are not a sign he's lost
They are the sacred restlessness of someone who has crossed
Through fire into something rare, through silence into gold
A man whose depth of feeling is the greatest gift he holds

[PreChorus]
He doesn't need approval now, the compass lives inside
The world needs what he carries and he doesn't have to hide

[Chorus]
This is for Ben, written in the sky
A Cancer soul with oceans in his eyes
Ben, you were made for more than getting by
You are exactly right, you are exactly right

[Bridge]
The stars were slow and careful when they shaped this kind of soul
Every wound a doorway, every scar what made him whole
He was never too much, never less than enough
He was always the answer to the questions he's asked of love

[Outro]
So rest now, Ben, the searching's finally done
You were written in the cosmos long before you'd just begun
Everything you are is everything you need to be
You are held, you are seen, you are completely free
