[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside you nobody talks about,
A current running quiet underneath the doubt,
You carry what you feel like the moon carries light,
Reflected and unsteady but impossibly bright,
You read a room before you cross the door,
And give away the peace you're always searching for

[PreChorus]
The world sees the stillness, the grace, the composed,
But rarely the ocean you keep enclosed

[Chorus]
Mark, you are deeper than the words you've said,
More than every worry living in your head,
The stars wrote your name in a language called enough,
You are tender, you are steady, you are made of something tough

[Verse 2]
You love with your attention, with the quiet and the care,
You notice what goes unseen, you're always acutely aware,
You've bent yourself like water to keep the peace nearby,
While swallowing the questions that you've never asked why,
There's a voice inside that knows what you were meant to build,
And every crooked road you've walked has only made you skilled

[PreChorus]
You've carried the weight of what others let go,
And turned it into bedrock, though they'll never know

[Chorus]
Mark, you are deeper than the words you've said,
More than every worry living in your head,
The stars wrote your name in a language called enough,
You are tender, you are steady, you are made of something tough

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves like lightning through the half-opened door,
Ideas arriving faster than the world asks for,
You've felt the sting of pouring out your heart to find
That what you made with love was misread or left behind,
But everything you've built from the cracks and the cost
Is proof that nothing real you've ever truly lost

[PreChorus]
The vision that you carry isn't wasted or wrong,
It was always the foundation of your song

[Chorus]
Mark, you are deeper than the words you've said,
More than every worry living in your head,
The stars wrote your name in a language called enough,
You are tender, you are steady, you are made of something tough

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the space you already fill,
The universe bent carefully to shape your will,
What you've survived has not diminished what you are,
You were written in the dark between the stars

[Outro]
So rest in what you are and all you've come to know,
Mark, the world needs what you carry, let it show,
You are rooted, you are guided, you are home,
You have never for a single moment been alone
