[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface, a tide no one can read,
A heart that holds an ocean underneath the quiet need,
He carries what he feels like stones smooth from the sea,
Patient as the earth itself, building carefully,
They see the calm composure, that steady, measured grace,
But no one sees the current running underneath that face

[PreChorus]
He loves like something ancient, like roots beneath the ground,
A home he builds for everyone before he looks around

[Chorus]
Andrew, you were written in the deep and changing tide,
The moon and all her longing burning restless deep inside,
You don't need the world to name you — you were named before the light,
Andrew, you were made for more than just surviving the night

[Verse 2]
There's a fire in his instincts, moving fast before the thought,
A mind that digs for hidden things that surface can't be caught,
He speaks when words feel heavy with a weight he's pressed to carry,
The ones who see the truest things are always the most wary,
He's chased the big ideas across every open door,
A soul that burns for meaning, always building something more

[PreChorus]
The tension between duty and the hunger to be free,
Is not a war inside him — it's the making of the key

[Chorus]
Andrew, you were written in the deep and changing tide,
The moon and all her longing burning restless deep inside,
You don't need the world to name you — you were named before the light,
Andrew, you were made for more than just surviving the night

[Verse 3]
He's longed to feel belonging, like a voice inside a crowd,
That wondered if the space it took was wanted or allowed,
But every wound he's carried was a compass, not a scar,
Every time he felt the furthest was the closest to the stars,
The kindness that he scatters like he doesn't count the cost,
Is the very thing that finds him every time he's felt most lost

[PreChorus]
He doesn't need to earn it, doesn't need to prove the rest,
The universe wrote carefully when it wrote him at his best

[Chorus]
Andrew, you were written in the deep and changing tide,
The moon and all her longing burning restless deep inside,
You don't need the world to name you — you were named before the light,
Andrew, you were made for more than just surviving the night

[Bridge]
Let the weight you've carried quietly finally be seen,
You are not the gap between the man you are and who you'd been,
Every ounce of who you are has always been enough,
You were built from something tender and enduring and tough

[Outro]
The stars don't make mistakes, and they didn't when they made you whole,
Andrew, you are held — you are the tides, you are the shore, you are the soul
