[Verse 1]
He carries the weight of a world he won't name
Steady as bedrock but burning with flame
Reads every room like a map of the heart
Fixes what's broken before it can start
The kind of man who holds the door and holds his tongue
With an ocean running quiet underneath

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide
All those fathoms he keeps hidden deep inside

[Chorus]
Frank, you are the anchor and the open sea
Built from everything you carried quietly
Frank, every wall you raised was made to hold
Not to keep love out, but to protect the gold

[Verse 2]
He thinks in rivers, speaks in measured lines
Finds the truth the way a compass always finds
There's a tenderness he guards behind the glass
A devotion built to outlast and outlast
He loves like something ancient wants to stay
Like a hearth fire burning steady through the gray

[PreChorus]
He gives before he's asked and asks for nothing back
Pouring out the well without a map

[Chorus]
Frank, you are the anchor and the open sea
Built from everything you carried quietly
Frank, every wall you raised was made to hold
Not to keep love out, but to protect the gold

[Verse 3]
He wrestles with the pull of what he's owed
Whether all this striving builds a road
The inner voice that says it's not enough
Is the same voice that makes the diamonds tough
He's learned to see the cracks as letting light get through
Every scar a testament to what he's walked into

[PreChorus]
The hardest ground produces the deepest roots
And he's grown tall from every storm he's come through

[Chorus]
Frank, you are the anchor and the open sea
Built from everything you carried quietly
Frank, every wall you raised was made to hold
Not to keep love out, but to protect the gold

[Verse 4]
He was written by the stars with careful hands
A man of quiet purpose, patient plans
There's a calling in the marrow of his bones
To build something that stands when the builder's gone
The world has always needed what he brings
A steady hand beneath uncertain things

[PreChorus]
He doesn't have to prove a single thing today
He was always more than enough along the way

[Chorus]
Frank, you are the anchor and the open sea
Built from everything you carried quietly
Frank, every wall you raised was made to hold
Not to keep love out, but to protect the gold

[Bridge]
The moon wrote him in water, the earth wrote him in stone
A heart too wide for any map that's ever been known
He spent so long protecting what he was afraid to show
But the light was always in him, always ready to glow

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you were never less than whole
The universe was careful when it built this kind of soul
Frank, you are enough, you always were, you always will be
A man the world is lucky just to know
