[Verse 1]
He carries still water but the undertow runs deep,
A lion with a Scorpio soul that never falls asleep,
He reads the room without a word, he feels before he thinks,
There's a whole ocean in that man before he ever blinks,
He holds the ones he loves like something he might lose,
And gives the kind of warmth that costs him more than anyone would choose,

[PreChorus]
They see the steady hand, they miss the tide,
All those fathoms running deep inside,

[Chorus]
Roy, you are the fire and the flood combined,
The kind of soul that takes a lifetime just to find,
Built from iron and from tenderness and grace,
There's no one else who's ever gonna fill your space,

[Verse 2]
He speaks with honest conviction when he's finally got the floor,
And every word he's chosen means a little something more,
He'll fight for what he believes in with a quiet, burning will,
Not the loudest in the valley but you hear him on the hill,
He's carried weight in silence like it was his job to bear,
The kind of man who shows up even when nobody's there,

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they never see the cost,
All those battles that he won before he lost,

[Chorus]
Roy, you are the fire and the flood combined,
The kind of soul that takes a lifetime just to find,
Built from iron and from tenderness and grace,
There's no one else who's ever gonna fill your space,

[Verse 3]
He loves like something ancient, like the tide that won't retreat,
Like a shelter built for others on a cold and windswept street,
He'd give you all he's carrying before he'd ask for rest,
Puts the people that he treasures somewhere deep inside his chest,
He's learned that trust is fragile and he handles it with care,
But once he lets you in, there's nothing he won't share,

[PreChorus]
The walls he built weren't weakness, they were worth,
A man who had to find his way back to himself first,

[Chorus]
Roy, you are the fire and the flood combined,
The kind of soul that takes a lifetime just to find,
Built from iron and from tenderness and grace,
There's no one else who's ever gonna fill your space,

[Verse 4]
The stars wrote him in July beneath a Southern sky,
With a heart too wide for halfway and a will that won't run dry,
He's touched by something deeper than the world can quite explain,
There's a quiet kind of wisdom that was tempered in his pain,
He doesn't need to be remade or fixed or understood,
He just needs someone to remind him what we already know he could,

[PreChorus]
The cosmos didn't make him to be small,
He was written to be everything, and that means all,

[Bridge]
You don't have to hold it all alone out in the cold,
Every scar you carry is a story to be told,
The world is better, deeper, truer with you here,
Let that truth be something you don't have to live in fear,

[Chorus]
Roy, you are the fire and the flood combined,
The kind of soul that takes a lifetime just to find,
Built from iron and from tenderness and grace,
There's no one else who's ever gonna fill your space,

[Outro]
The Southern sky still holds the night you came to be,
And everything you are is exactly what we need,
You're grounded in this earth, you're written in this light,
Roy, you were always meant for this life,
