[Verse 1]
He reads the room before he reads the words,
Catches the current underneath what's heard,
A mind that hunts for meaning, wide and true,
Always chasing horizons, always something new,
Still waters on the surface, fire down below,
A depth that most won't see and fewer know,

[PreChorus]
He's carried quiet storms nobody named,
And built his ground from everything that came,

[Chorus]
Michael, written in the arc of something vast,
A soul that turns the present into something built to last,
The light in you was never meant to shrink or stay contained,
Michael, you were always more than you were told to claim,

[Verse 2]
He loves with steady hands and patient roots,
Not the loudest in the room but he's the proof,
That showing up is braver than the grand display,
That devotion is a language few will learn to say,
He'd carry what you need before you find the words,
A loyal heart that burns long after it's observed,

[PreChorus]
He's wrestled in the dark with what he's worth,
But every battle shaped the man who walks this earth,

[Chorus]
Michael, written in the arc of something vast,
A soul that turns the present into something built to last,
The light in you was never meant to shrink or stay contained,
Michael, you were always more than you were told to claim,

[Verse 3]
There's a visionary somewhere in his bones,
Who never quite felt settled, never quite at home,
In a world that names a man by what it sees,
He was always something harder to define with ease,
The ones who burn this bright and search this long,
Are the ones the world discovers when they're finally gone,

[PreChorus]
But here you are, still standing, still alive,
Still the rarest kind of compass, still the guide,

[Chorus]
Michael, written in the arc of something vast,
A soul that turns the present into something built to last,
The light in you was never meant to shrink or stay contained,
Michael, you were always more than you were told to claim,

[Bridge]
The stars held nothing back when they made you,
Wove the fire and the stillness all the way through,
Every road that broke you open made you whole,
The universe was careful with your soul,

[Outro]
You don't need the world to name it to make it real,
You've always been exactly what you feel,
Enough, and then some — that's the whole of it,
The cosmos built you carefully and didn't miss a bit,
