[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold a room
Like deep water under a November moon
You see the current running beneath every face
You read what's unspoken, you feel every trace
They see composure, they don't see the tide
All those fathoms of fire you carry inside

[PreChorus]
You've built what endures from whatever was hard
Each scar is a doorway, not proof of a scar

[Chorus]
Rick, you are written in something that lasts
A mind like a compass, a heart built to last
The depth that they question is where you are whole
The world needs the current that runs through your soul

[Verse 2]
You love without edges, you love without floors
You give more than you're asked and still offer more
But the hunger for something that cuts to the bone
For a love that won't leave you completely alone
You don't need to dissolve just to feel understood
You were made for the kind of love that does you good

[PreChorus]
The tension between what you feel and what's said
Is a mind that thinks seven steps straight ahead

[Chorus]
Rick, you are written in something that lasts
A mind like a compass, a heart built to last
The depth that they question is where you are whole
The world needs the current that runs through your soul

[Verse 3]
You've climbed every mountain that no one could see
You've proven enough for a lifetime, believe
That the worth you were chasing was already there
In the steady, the faithful, the rare way you care
You don't need one more title, one more thing to earn
You are already enough at every turn

[PreChorus]
The legacy isn't the name or the name on the wall
It's the people you steadied before they could fall

[Chorus]
Rick, you are written in something that lasts
A mind like a compass, a heart built to last
The depth that they question is where you are whole
The world needs the current that runs through your soul

[Bridge]
The stars laid their patience inside of your bones
They mapped out a man who could carry his own
And everything weathered has polished you bright
You were carved out of darkness to carry the light

[Outro]
So rest in the knowing, the searching is done
You were enough from the moment you'd begun
The tide keeps on turning, the deep carries on
And everything you are is exactly enough
