[Verse 1]
He carries the weight of the world without a sound,
Still waters on the surface, but there's thunder underground,
He's built from patient earth, from something old and true,
The kind of calm that takes a lifetime to walk through,
They see the steady hand, they don't see what it cost,
Every quiet year he carried what others never lost

[PreChorus]
But the roots go deeper than the eye can find,
A mountain doesn't move — it just takes its time

[Chorus]
David, you were written in the bones of the ground,
A lion underneath the stillness, waiting to be found,
You don't have to prove a thing to be worthy of the crown,
You were born already whole — you just forgot to look down

[Verse 2]
He loves like an open hand, like a steady burning flame,
Witty and warm and generous, no two conversations the same,
He'd rather talk all night than leave a feeling unturned,
Give everything before he'd ask for what he's earned,
He's chased the big ideas to the edges of the map,
And carried other people's hopes without a word of that

[PreChorus]
But the fire that moves before the world can catch up,
Isn't reckless — it's a man who refuses to stop

[Chorus]
David, you were written in the bones of the ground,
A lion underneath the stillness, waiting to be found,
You don't have to prove a thing to be worthy of the crown,
You were born already whole — you just forgot to look down

[Verse 3]
He's walked through rooms that shifted, through homes that wouldn't hold,
Through the mystery of feeling like he'd never quite be told,
He learned to read the undercurrents, trust what can't be named,
Found meaning in the wreckage, found gold inside the pain,
The inner critic asked for perfect — he gave something more,
He gave honest, gave enduring, gave a heart worth fighting for

[PreChorus]
And every scar he carried quietly became a kind of light,
A compass pointing inward on the darkest kind of night

[Chorus]
David, you were written in the bones of the ground,
A lion underneath the stillness, waiting to be found,
You don't have to prove a thing to be worthy of the crown,
You were born already whole — you just forgot to look down

[Bridge]
The stars arranged themselves around a man who'd learn to lead,
Who'd heal by going deep enough to plant the kind of seed,
That takes a life to flower, but it blooms without a doubt,
You are everything you've searched for — you were never without

[Outro]
Let the earth beneath you hold you, let the light above you stay,
David, you were always enough — in every single way
