[Verse 1]
There's a fire in you that moves before the question forms,
A ram who reads the room but still walks into storms,
You show the world the steady hand, the calm, the drive,
But underneath the armor there's a tide that keeps you alive,
You've built your worth in usefulness, in getting things done right,
Forgetting that your value doesn't have to be earned tonight,

[PreChorus]
They see the leader standing tall without a trace of doubt,
They don't see the ocean underneath that you're holding out,

[Chorus]
Michael, you are more than what you manage and achieve,
More than all the mountains that you're climbing to believe,
The stars wrote you carefully in fire and in tide,
You are whole, you are known, you are enough inside,

[Verse 2]
You love like someone diving in before the water's warm,
All in, all heart, all courage even braced against the storm,
Your roots run deep through tangled ground, through shadows not yet named,
But every wound you carried here became a torch, not shame,
You've dreamed of worlds more beautiful and ached to make them real,
That ache is not a broken thing — it's how you know you feel,

[PreChorus]
There's a compass in your chest that points toward something true,
The world ahead is asking for the full unguarded you,

[Chorus]
Michael, you are more than what you manage and achieve,
More than all the mountains that you're climbing to believe,
The stars wrote you carefully in fire and in tide,
You are whole, you are known, you are enough inside,

[Bridge]
You don't have to keep the ocean quiet anymore,
The home you've been building lives behind an open door,
Let the Capricorn moon rest, let the fire softly breathe,
Everything you're looking for is already underneath,

[Outro]
The cosmos didn't make you hard, it made you layered and wide,
Michael, you were written whole — from the fire to the tide,
