[Verse 1]
He reads the horizon like an open page,
A restless mind born to outrun its age,
Truth on his tongue before the thought is done,
A wanderer's heart burning bright as the sun,
He carries whole worlds behind steady eyes,
A seeker of depth beneath familiar skies,

[PreChorus]
But beneath the fire and the forward stride,
There's a quieter ache he's learned to hide,

[Chorus]
Dean, you were forged in the oldest flame,
The cosmos carved the thunder in your name,
You don't need to prove what you already are,
You were written in the north wind and the stars,

[Verse 2]
He moves like a storm that knows where it's bound,
First to feel everything, first off the ground,
His care runs so deep that it comes out as deeds,
A silent devotion that nobody sees,
He builds what he loves with his hands and his will,
Then wonders if love ever sees him stand still,

[PreChorus]
He's given his best to the ones he holds dear,
Not knowing his worth was already clear,

[Chorus]
Dean, you were forged in the oldest flame,
The cosmos carved the thunder in your name,
You don't need to prove what you already are,
You were written in the north wind and the stars,

[Verse 3]
There's iron inside him that bends but won't break,
A mountain of patience he carries awake,
He dreams past the edges of maps he's been shown,
And questions the gods in the quiet alone,
The places he's been live like fire in his chest,
He was born moving outward to find his own rest,

[PreChorus]
The weight that he's carried has sharpened his sight,
Every scar is a lantern, not proof of the fight,

[Chorus]
Dean, you were forged in the oldest flame,
The cosmos carved the thunder in your name,
You don't need to prove what you already are,
You were written in the north wind and the stars,

[Verse 4]
He loves like something ancient, steady, and wide,
Not all of it spoken, but nothing inside lied,
He waits until trust has been earned through the years,
Then gives what he has without counting the tears,
The world that he offers is grounded and true,
A rare kind of soul that comes once, not through,

[PreChorus]
He's not who the noise sees when daylight is done,
He is roots and the thunder and the rising sun,

[Chorus]
Dean, you were forged in the oldest flame,
The cosmos carved the thunder in your name,
You don't need to prove what you already are,
You were written in the north wind and the stars,

[Bridge]
Every road that split, every doubt that stayed,
Was the hand of something vast and unafraid,
You were always held, even when lost at sea,
You are enough, you always were, let yourself be,

[Outro]
Let the old wolves howl, let the cold wind call,
You were built for all of it, standing tall,
Dean, the stars remember every step you've made,
A fire born in winter never truly fades,
