[Verse 1]
He carries the tide where nobody sees it,
A heart like an ocean too deep to diminish,
He reads every room with a quiet precision,
Each word that he offers is careful and driven,
They see the composed man, they don't see the current,
All that devotion runs deep and concurrent,

[PreChorus]
He's built something solid from patience and care,
A man who shows up when the world isn't fair,

[Chorus]
Oh David, you are more than the mask that you wear,
A Cancer soul with the whole world to bear,
You love with conviction, you lead with your heart,
The cosmos wrote you as a work of art,

[Verse 2]
He thinks in the language of feeling and meaning,
His mind holds the memory worth all the keeping,
There's a restless intelligence lighting his edges,
He questions the boundaries and challenges ledges,
A mind that won't settle for surface or shallow,
He digs for the truth even when it feels hollow,

[PreChorus]
That tension inside him between duty and free,
Is the fire that forged everything he can be,

[Chorus]
Oh David, you are more than the mask that you wear,
A Cancer soul with the whole world to bear,
You love with conviction, you lead with your heart,
The cosmos wrote you as a work of art,

[Verse 3]
He loves like a conversation that never quite closes,
Like something that blooms in the most unexpected places,
He needs room to wander but still finds his way back,
A faithful and curious heart on a track,
He gives before asking, he stays when it's heavy,
He's the kind of rare soul that keeps everyone steady,

[PreChorus]
He's carried his wounds where nobody asked him to,
But every scar that he holds made him truer and new,

[Chorus]
Oh David, you are more than the mask that you wear,
A Cancer soul with the whole world to bear,
You love with conviction, you lead with your heart,
The cosmos wrote you as a work of art,

[Verse 4]
He was written by something that knew what it needed,
A soul born to serve without being depleted,
The world feels his presence like a shift in the weather,
He holds broken pieces and makes them feel better,
His worth isn't measured in proof or permission,
He was always enough, that was always the mission,

[PreChorus]
The moon knew his name when she mapped out the sky,
And everything built in him tells you exactly why,

[Chorus]
Oh David, you are more than the mask that you wear,
A Cancer soul with the whole world to bear,
You love with conviction, you lead with your heart,
The cosmos wrote you as a work of art,

[Bridge]
You don't have to carry it all on your own,
Every river runs harder before finding home,
The groundwork you've laid has been worth every year,
You are guided, David, you are already here,

[Outro]
The stars didn't scatter you, they gathered you whole,
A quiet, fierce grace at the heart of your soul,
You were always enough, you were always the light,
You are held in the arms of the infinite night,
