[Verse 1]
Steady on the outside, stone holding back the sea,
A mountain made of patience and quiet dignity,
You carry what you're given like it's always been your own,
And somewhere in that history, you built yourself a home,
They see the calm, they never see the tide,
All those fathoms running deep inside

[PreChorus]
The roots go down where no one thinks to look,
You are every worn and weathered page of your own book

[Chorus]
The stars mapped out a soul like yours with care,
Chris, you are the bedrock and the prayer,
The weight you hold is not a burden, it's a crown,
You don't have to earn the ground you're standing on

[Verse 2]
You feel things like a current through a cracked and open door,
A Pisces moon that carries every stranger's grief and more,
You give before they ask you, you forgive before they know,
And tend to everyone around you like a quiet undertow,
But who has ever learned to tend to you,
Who has held the hand that holds the world together too

[PreChorus]
The softest hearts are never weak, they're just the first to feel,
And everything you've carried is the proof that you are real

[Chorus]
The stars mapped out a soul like yours with care,
Chris, you are the bedrock and the prayer,
The weight you hold is not a burden, it's a crown,
You don't have to earn the ground you're standing on

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves like a wire strung between the now and new,
Inventive, always circling back to what is fair and true,
You've wrestled order into shape with hands that doubt their art,
Then wondered why the world can't see the vision in your heart,
That overthinking isn't noise, it's depth,
A mind that won't let go until it's drawn its final breath

[PreChorus]
You've built yourself from discipline and hunger and from grace,
And every scar you carry has become a sacred place

[Chorus]
The stars mapped out a soul like yours with care,
Chris, you are the bedrock and the prayer,
The weight you hold is not a burden, it's a crown,
You don't have to earn the ground you're standing on

[Verse 4]
You love like something ancient, slow and loyal to the bone,
Not in flowers or in speeches but in showing up alone,
In the small and steady gestures that you never think to name,
In the way you stay through everything that others can't sustain,
The world needs what you carry, don't give it away,
There's a purpose written in you that no silence can erase

[PreChorus]
You are allowed to rest inside the life that you have made,
You are more than all the mountains that you've moved and all the debts you've paid

[Chorus]
The stars mapped out a soul like yours with care,
Chris, you are the bedrock and the prayer,
The weight you hold is not a burden, it's a crown,
You don't have to earn the ground you're standing on

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
Every choice, every wound, every wall you ever made,
They were not mistakes, they were the making of the man,
Held by something deeper than you've ever fully planned

[Outro]
You are guided, you are held, you are enough,
Chris, you always have been built of tougher, tenderer stuff
