[Verse 1]
He carries the weight of a wide open sky,
A mind built for horizons, always asking why,
There's a restless kind of fire in the way he speaks,
Truth on his tongue even when the truth cuts deep,
He laughs like the world is a story worth telling,
But the ocean inside him is constantly swelling

[PreChorus]
They see the easy grin, the open door,
They don't see the current running deep below the floor

[Chorus]
Oh David, you're more than the surface shows,
A river runs through you that nobody knows,
Written in starlight, steadied by stone,
You are guided, you are held, you are never alone

[Verse 2]
He feels everything first before the words arrive,
Carries other people's storms and still finds a way to survive,
There's a tenderness he hides behind a steady hand,
A heart like a compass always trying to understand,
He's building something real from the ground on up,
Measuring his worth by how much he fills the cup

[PreChorus]
But what he gives the world he forgets to give himself,
All that depth and devotion sitting quiet on the shelf

[Chorus]
Oh David, you're more than the surface shows,
A river runs through you that nobody knows,
Written in starlight, steadied by stone,
You are guided, you are held, you are never alone

[Verse 3]
He loves like a promise carved into the earth,
Not the kind of love that fades but the kind that proves its worth,
There's a loyalty in him that runs all the way down,
The kind that stays standing when the walls come crashing down,
He craves what's real, what's raw, what won't pretend,
A soul that needs the truth more than a comfortable end

[PreChorus]
He's been told to want less, to need less, to shrink,
But there's a fire in that man that refuses to blink

[Chorus]
Oh David, you're more than the surface shows,
A river runs through you that nobody knows,
Written in starlight, steadied by stone,
You are guided, you are held, you are never alone

[Verse 4]
The road he's walked has shaped him into someone rare,
Every quiet battle won has built something beyond compare,
He doesn't need to chase the light, he carries it within,
A gentle kind of power that keeps choosing to begin,
The world won't always name it but it feels him when he walks,
That still small pull of purpose underneath the talk

[PreChorus]
He doesn't need to earn his place or prove his worth is real,
Everything he is right now is more than enough to feel

[Chorus]
Oh David, you're more than the surface shows,
A river runs through you that nobody knows,
Written in starlight, steadied by stone,
You are guided, you are held, you are never alone

[Bridge]
The darkness he has crossed became the ground beneath his feet,
Every scar a kind of knowing, every loss a hidden gift,
He was made for this moment, not to follow but to lead,
A soul the sky wrote carefully, a current running swift

[Outro]
So rest now in the truth of all you are,
Oh David, you were always meant to go this far
