[Verse 1]
He carries the weight of the world like it's nothing at all
Steady hands building something that's meant not to fall
There's a fire running under that calm, measured face
A mind that won't rest 'til it's found the right place
He laughs at the horizon but he's chasing what's true
The kind of soul who serves without asking it's due

[PreChorus]
He's been the mountain everyone leans on in the storm
Forgetting that mountains need shelter to keep themselves warm

[Chorus]
Dave, you are more than the work that you carry and keep
More than the promises made while the rest of us sleep
Built from the bones of the questions you refused to let go
Dave, you were written in light that the whole sky should know

[Verse 2]
He loves like the last great frontier, wide and free
Not the kind they put in frames — too alive, too untamed to agree
His heart asks for more than a role or a rule
A companion who matches the fire, who sharpens the tool
He's been careful with love, kept the door almost closed
But the deepest in him only blooms when he's truly exposed

[PreChorus]
He's reaching for meaning in every horizon he finds
And the world keeps expanding to match what he holds in his mind

[Chorus]
Dave, you are more than the work that you carry and keep
More than the promises made while the rest of you sleep
Built from the bones of the questions you refused to let go
Dave, you were written in light that the whole sky should know

[Bridge]
The cosmos mapped you carefully, no detail left to chance
Every contradiction was the blueprint, not a flaw in the dance
You don't have to earn your place — you have always belonged
Everything you are right now is exactly what's strong

[Outro]
So rest in the marrow of who you were born to be
Dave, the stars held your name long before you could see
You are guided, you are held, you are already home
You were never — not once — walking any of this alone
