[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold your ground,
Roots running deep beneath the surface sound,
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those oceans you've been carrying inside,
A mind that fires before the world can turn,
And a heart that gives before it waits to learn,

[PreChorus]
You've built your walls from something real,
But the strongest thing you've done is learn to feel,

[Chorus]
James, you were written in the patient earth and sea,
A Leo rising lighting up what no one else can see,
You carry more than anyone has ever asked you to,
And every single piece of it was always leading you,

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient and immense,
Like a dream that doesn't need to make sense,
You see the good in people others left behind,
A compass built from mercy in your mind,
But you've swallowed down your own needs like a stone,
And learned too young the weight of being alone,

[PreChorus]
The tenderness you hide runs just as deep,
As every promise you have sworn to keep,

[Chorus]
James, you were written in the patient earth and sea,
A Leo rising lighting up what no one else can see,
You carry more than anyone has ever asked you to,
And every single piece of it was always leading you,

[Verse 3]
You've questioned whether presence is enough,
Whether simply being you could be enough,
That ache for meaning sent you searching wide,
For a truth that matched the fire burning inside,
But the wisdom you were chasing all along,
Was already the gravity that made you strong,

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the right to take up space,
You were always meant to stand in your own grace,

[Chorus]
James, you were written in the patient earth and sea,
A Leo rising lighting up what no one else can see,
You carry more than anyone has ever asked you to,
And every single piece of it was always leading you,

[Verse 4]
Your circle's small but chosen like a vow,
You build for years what others forget by now,
Behind the scenes you moved with quiet fire,
Serving something deeper than desire,
The world has always needed what you bring,
That steady hand beneath the everything,

[PreChorus]
You are not the sum of what you couldn't say,
You are all the light that never went away,

[Chorus]
James, you were written in the patient earth and sea,
A Leo rising lighting up what no one else can see,
You carry more than anyone has ever asked you to,
And every single piece of it was always leading you,

[Bridge]
The stars did not mistake you when they made this map,
Every wound you carried filled a worthy gap,
You are not behind, you are not too late,
You are exactly who you came here to create,

[Outro]
So rest inside the knowing, let the current hold,
James, you were always more than you were told,
The cosmos wrote you carefully — and got it right,
You are grounded, you are guided, you are light,
