[Verse 1]
He carries the ocean wherever he stands,
Still water that runs through the work of his hands,
He reads every room like a page no one wrote,
Sees straight to the marrow, the truth in the throat,
The ones who know surface don't know what they've missed,
There's a whole other world underneath the first mist

[PreChorus]
He builds where he's planted, he holds what he loves,
A quiet foundation that nobody sees from above

[Chorus]
Deep and unshaken, a current below,
Jim, you are more than the world gets to know,
Written in water and shaped by the flame,
The cosmos carved carefully into your name

[Verse 2]
He speaks when it matters, each word earns its place,
A mind that cuts deeper than looks on his face,
He aches for the beautiful, longs for the real,
And loves with a loyalty few ever feel,
He gives before asking and guards what is true,
The warmth in the room has a way of being you

[PreChorus]
He's learned to stand steady when everything shifts,
That stillness he carries is one of his gifts

[Chorus]
Deep and unshaken, a current below,
Jim, you are more than the world gets to know,
Written in water and shaped by the flame,
The cosmos carved carefully into your name

[Verse 3]
He's felt the pull backward, the weight of old ground,
The voice in his chest that says prove what you've found,
He's wrestled with silence and questioned his worth,
But every hard season has added more earth,
What looked like a limit was depth all along,
The roots that hold heavy are roots growing strong

[PreChorus]
He doesn't need proving, he never did need it,
The power was always already completed

[Chorus]
Deep and unshaken, a current below,
Jim, you are more than the world gets to know,
Written in water and shaped by the flame,
The cosmos carved carefully into your name

[Verse 4]
There's fire behind patience and grace behind steel,
An eye for the broken, a drive to rebuild,
He moves toward what matters with purpose and care,
A man who transforms every room that he's in there,
The world holds a place for the depth that he brings,
And everything carried becomes the thing that sings

[PreChorus]
He doesn't have to earn what was written at birth,
The sky knew exactly the shape of his worth

[Chorus]
Deep and unshaken, a current below,
Jim, you are more than the world gets to know,
Written in water and shaped by the flame,
The cosmos carved carefully into your name

[Bridge]
You don't have to be finished to already be whole,
Every tide that has moved you has carried your soul,
What you've lived and survived is the map and the key,
You are exactly who you were always meant to be

[Outro]
The stars didn't scatter you, Jim, they aligned,
A depth and a brightness impossibly combined,
Rest in the knowing that you are enough,
Held by the universe, steady and loved
