[Verse 1]
He reads a room before he walks through the door
Sees what's underneath, always hungry for more
Keeps his cards close but his conscience runs deep
A mind like still water, and just as complete
He carries his service like a quiet crusade
Built from the inside, unafraid of the shade

[PreChorus]
They see the steady hands, they don't see the tide
All those fathoms of feeling he carries inside

[Chorus]
Hold on, Vince, you were made for this ground
You're the kind of deep that don't make much sound
The whole weight of the world doesn't break what you are
You were written in the dark between every star

[Verse 2]
He loves like a covenant, total and true
Not the surface kind — he goes all the way through
But he's longed to be loved without having to prove
That the man doing the giving deserves something too
He's built walls out of patience and called it control
While the hunger for real keeps on knocking his soul

[PreChorus]
The fear of the threshold is not who he is
He was made for the kind of love that transforms and gives

[Chorus]
Hold on, Vince, you were made for this ground
You're the kind of deep that don't make much sound
The whole weight of the world doesn't break what you are
You were written in the dark between every star

[Verse 3]
He's walked through the fire that his bloodline began
Carrying questions no child should hand to a man
But the roots that run tangled still teach him to grow
And the things that he's buried are the things that he knows
There's a calling that's wider than any one town
A horizon expanding each time he looks down

[PreChorus]
He don't need to be louder to finally be heard
Sometimes the whole truth fits in just a few words

[Chorus]
Hold on, Vince, you were made for this ground
You're the kind of deep that don't make much sound
The whole weight of the world doesn't break what you are
You were written in the dark between every star

[Bridge]
The moon shaped his patience, the tides shaped his will
There's a compass inside him that's pointing there still
Every scar that he carries is a map of his worth
He was always enough, from the moment of birth

[Outro]
Hold on, Vince, you were always enough
Not in spite of the tender — because of the tough
The cosmos don't make mistakes, and that includes you
Every piece of who you are is exactly what's true
