[Verse 1]
He carries the weight of a thousand unspoken things,
A mind that reads the room before the silence even sings,
Steady on the outside like the mountains hold their ground,
But underneath the surface there's a current running loud,
He weighs every word like it costs him something real,
Truth-teller, deep-diver, with a wound he's learned to heal

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they miss the fire burning underneath,
They see the steady hands, they miss the storm inside his sleep

[Chorus]
Here's to you, Carey, built from bone and burning light,
A man who holds the world together in the dead of night,
You don't have to carry every piece of this alone,
You were written by the cosmos, and you're finally coming home

[Verse 2]
He loves like it's the last brave thing a man could ever do,
All or nothing, no halfway, just honest and true,
He's built a life around the ones who needed him to stay,
Gave before he's asked and learned to give his own needs away,
But the heart that holds the world still needs a place to rest,
And the ones who never break are often holding back the best

[PreChorus]
They see the one who shows up, always solid, always there,
They don't see how it costs him, all that weight he's learned to bear

[Chorus]
Here's to you, Carey, built from bone and burning light,
A man who holds the world together in the dead of night,
You don't have to carry every piece of this alone,
You were written by the cosmos, and you're finally coming home

[Verse 3]
There's a vision in his chest that reason can't contain,
A dreamer who rebuilds himself through every loss and gain,
He moves between the order and the wild open sky,
Needing roots beneath his feet but needing room to fly,
He's questioning the walls that someone else put up for him,
And finding there's a fire at the bottom, not the rim

[PreChorus]
The world needs what he carries, every layer, every scar,
What he thinks is hidden light is actually a star

[Chorus]
Here's to you, Carey, built from bone and burning light,
A man who holds the world together in the dead of night,
You don't have to carry every piece of this alone,
You were written by the cosmos, and you're finally coming home

[Bridge]
Stop running from the stillness, let the silence say your name,
Every scar became a lantern, not a marker of your shame,
You are guided, you are grounded, you are more than what you've done,
The universe mapped every road that led you to this one

[Outro]
Here's to you, Carey, enough exactly as you are,
The compass always pointed home, you never were too far
