[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you hold your ground,
A quiet kind of king who doesn't need a crown,
You light up every room but guard your depths below,
A current running dark where only you can go,
They see the confidence, they miss the doubt inside,
The tidal pull of everything you chose to hide

[PreChorus]
But all that deep water only makes you more,
There's no ocean without what lives beneath the floor

[Chorus]
Michael, you were written in the wild and the wide,
A lion with a whole storm living deep inside,
Every contradiction is the shape of who you are,
Michael, you were never ordinary, you're a living scar

[Verse 2]
You love with careful hands and calculated care,
You notice what the careless never stop to spare,
A word someone said once — you still carry it whole,
You pour yourself in quietly, that's how you show your soul,
You've built something patient out of each setback and bruise,
Not slow because you're cautious — slow because you choose

[PreChorus]
Every wall you've ever built was keeping something in,
The deepest kind of loyalty begins beneath your skin

[Chorus]
Michael, you were written in the wild and the wide,
A lion with a whole storm living deep inside,
Every contradiction is the shape of who you are,
Michael, you were never ordinary, you're a living scar

[Verse 3]
You dream in systems, futures, things that haven't been,
Your mind already lives in worlds they haven't seen,
And when the dream gets blurry and the fire goes dim,
That isn't you unraveling — it's just the light going thin,
The questions that chase you down the longest nights,
Are proof that you were made to search for something right

[PreChorus]
Your roots run deeper than the ones who made the ground,
You're learning to be found in what you thought you'd drowned

[Chorus]
Michael, you were written in the wild and the wide,
A lion with a whole storm living deep inside,
Every contradiction is the shape of who you are,
Michael, you were never ordinary, you're a living scar

[Verse 4]
The world will pull you toward the perfect and the pure,
But perfection was the prison, you don't need the cure,
What you carry in the silence and the unseen rooms,
Is exactly what the people that you'll change assumes,
You heal without announcing it, you lead without the throne,
You've never been too much — you've just been deeply known

[PreChorus]
The universe spent time on everything you hold,
Every tender, complicated thing is yours to own

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to take up space,
You don't have to be unmoved to run this race,
The cosmos drew you carefully, with ink that stays,
You were made for more than fitting into smaller days

[Outro]
So rest in who you are, let the tide come in,
Michael, this is only where it all begins
