[Verse 1]
There's a current underneath the still
A mind that moves before the world stands still
You read the room before a word is said
You carry oceans no one knows you've fed
The light you hold burns quiet, burns deep
A fire the surface was never meant to keep

[PreChorus]
You've questioned if your worth was yours to claim
But every doubt you've carried forged your name

[Chorus]
David, you were written by the dark and the dawn
A soul too wide for any box they put you on
You're the depth they swim in, never knowing why
David, you were made to live, not just survive

[Verse 2]
You've loved like something ancient, wide and true
Chasing meaning in the ones who challenge you
You give the room a warmth they can't explain
Then wonder why you're left out in the rain
That hunger for the real, the vast, the whole
That's not a flaw — that's the compass of your soul

[PreChorus]
The world has asked you twice to make yourself small
But you were never built to fit inside those walls

[Chorus]
David, you were written by the dark and the dawn
A soul too wide for any box they put you on
You're the depth they swim in, never knowing why
David, you were made to live, not just survive

[Verse 3]
You've stood inside the wreckage, held the weight
You've turned your wounds to wisdom, shame to grace
A mind that never rests is not a curse
It's the same force that sees what others miss first
You've earned your place not once but every day
And still you fear that it might slip away

[PreChorus]
But everything you've built was built on solid ground
The kind of quiet strength that doesn't make a sound

[Chorus]
David, you were written by the dark and the dawn
A soul too wide for any box they put you on
You're the depth they swim in, never knowing why
David, you were made to live, not just survive

[Verse 4]
The path you're on was drawn before your birth
In the pull of tides and the turning of the earth
You don't need proof to justify your place
You don't need noise to fill the depth of your grace
The universe has held you all along
The quietest ones are often carrying the strongest song

[PreChorus]
Stop measuring your light against another flame
You are already whole, already enough, already named

[Chorus]
David, you were written by the dark and the dawn
A soul too wide for any box they put you on
You're the depth they swim in, never knowing why
David, you were made to live, not just survive

[Bridge]
Let the tide come in, let the tide go out
You don't have to drown to prove what you're about
The stars don't ask permission just to shine
And neither, David, do you — neither do you this time

[Outro]
You were always the answer to a question no one spoke
Not broken, not behind — just beautifully awoke
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't fade
David, you are everything you were already made
