[Verse 1]
There's a mind that moves like weather, quick and bright,
A mouth full of truth and a hunger for light,
He reads every room before he walks through the door,
Then sits with the silence and wants something more,
The jokes come easy, but the depths run wide,
There's an ocean underneath the easy stride

[PreChorus]
He's built a world on what he understands,
But the truest things have slipped right through his hands

[Chorus]
Barney, you're more than the calm you wear,
More than the strength you show when others are scared,
The fire, the feeling, the fractures and all,
You were written in the sky before the first fall

[Verse 2]
He loves like he's chasing a horizon line,
Something real, something true, something close to divine,
He'll give you his laughter, his loyalty, his time,
But ask for his tender and he'll change the rhyme,
He's learning that need isn't weakness to hide,
That the ones who go deepest deserve to go inside

[PreChorus]
Between the reaching and the holding still,
There's a quiet kind of grace he's learning to feel

[Chorus]
Barney, you're more than the calm you wear,
More than the strength you show when others are scared,
The fire, the feeling, the fractures and all,
You were written in the sky before the first fall

[Verse 3]
He carries old weight like it keeps him in place,
Like the ground only holds if he don't leave a trace,
But the things that he's wrestled alone in the dark,
Became the lantern he holds when the world comes apart,
What he thought was his burden was always his gift,
Every season of sorrow became a new lift

[PreChorus]
He doesn't need to earn the light he's owed,
He was always the brightest thing on the road

[Chorus]
Barney, you're more than the calm you wear,
More than the strength you show when others are scared,
The fire, the feeling, the fractures and all,
You were written in the sky before the first fall

[Bridge]
The stars don't forget what they carefully place,
Every contradiction a brushstroke of grace,
He was made to go deep where the fearful don't go,
And the world is still warmer for everything he'll sow

[Outro]
Barney, the universe knew what it made,
A soul like a river that doesn't run afraid,
Rest in the knowing — you've always been enough,
You are held in the light, and the light is made of love
