[Verse 1]
He carries the weight of a thousand quiet thoughts,
A mind like a river that never quite stops,
Two faces that flicker like lanterns at night,
One reaching for stillness, one chasing the light,
He learned early on how to hold himself straight,
How to build something solid before it's too late,

[PreChorus]
But underneath the steady and the sure,
There's a world inside that wants so much more,

[Chorus]
Hold on, Scott, you're more than you know,
A slow-burning fire with a long way to go,
The stars wrote you careful, they wrote you just right,
You are the morning hidden inside the night,

[Verse 2]
He loves like the earth loves the seed in the ground,
Patient and sure, without needing a sound,
He shows it through presence, through staying right here,
Through the warmth in his hands when the world disappears,
But sometimes the question sits low in his chest,
Am I wanted for me, or just doing my best,

[PreChorus]
That ache is not weakness, it's proof of your worth,
The deepest of roots are the ones grown in earth,

[Chorus]
Hold on, Scott, you're more than you know,
A slow-burning fire with a long way to go,
The stars wrote you careful, they wrote you just right,
You are the morning hidden inside the night,

[Verse 3]
He's walked between dreaming and doing for years,
Between who the world sees and what no one hears,
There's a hunger for meaning that runs in his veins,
A seeker who questions, who wonders, who strains,
Not lost, just still learning the shape of his name,
Every road that felt crooked was part of his aim,

[PreChorus]
The doubt you've been dragging was never a flaw,
It's the proof of a soul that keeps reaching for more,

[Chorus]
Hold on, Scott, you're more than you know,
A slow-burning fire with a long way to go,
The stars wrote you careful, they wrote you just right,
You are the morning hidden inside the night,

[Verse 4]
There's a grace in the quiet he carries alone,
In the kindness he scatters wherever he's gone,
He gives without asking, he builds without noise,
He finds all his peace in the simplest of joys,
The world has been changed by the things he has done,
Even when no one was watching, and counting was none,

[PreChorus]
You don't need the applause or the proof or the praise,
You were already whole at the start of your days,

[Chorus]
Hold on, Scott, you're more than you know,
A slow-burning fire with a long way to go,
The stars wrote you careful, they wrote you just right,
You are the morning hidden inside the night,

[Bridge]
Every crack you've carried let the good light in,
Every time you started over, that was not giving in,
You are rooted and guided and deeply beloved,
You are exactly the man the sky dreamed of,

[Outro]
So rest now, breathe now, you've earned every mile,
You are the reason someone leans in and smiles,
You are enough, you have always been,
Scott, the whole world is better for you being in it,
