[Verse 1]
There's a current running deep beneath the still
A mind that chases meaning past every hill
He reads the room before the words are said
Carries questions like a lantern in his head
The world sees steady hands and quiet eyes
But oceans move in him below the waterline

[PreChorus]
He's held the weight of what he never said out loud
A gentle force of nature wrapped inside a quiet crowd

[Chorus]
Josh, you were written in the deep and the dark
Every scar on you was always meant to be a mark
Not of what you lost but what you learned to carry through
Josh, the universe was careful when it made you

[Verse 2]
He loves like something ancient and hard-earned
Not surface-close, but soul-deep and concerned
He gives before he's asked and asks for little back
Rebuilding someone's world from what was lost or cracked
And if the walls he built feel like a cage some days
Those same walls kept him standing through the hardest waves

[PreChorus]
He doesn't need to prove the fire that he holds inside
What's been forged in silence is the truest kind of pride

[Chorus]
Josh, you were written in the deep and the dark
Every scar on you was always meant to be a mark
Not of what you lost but what you learned to carry through
Josh, the universe was careful when it made you

[Verse 3]
There's a healer in the making where the wound has been
A storyteller rising from the places he has seen
He thinks in wide horizons, in the meaning underneath
He plants himself like something that outlasts the winter freeze
The doubt he's wrestled quietly became his compass true
Every time he chose to stay, the roots in him just grew

[PreChorus]
He doesn't have to earn the right to rest and to belong
What he is right now, this moment, has been worthy all along

[Chorus]
Josh, you were written in the deep and the dark
Every scar on you was always meant to be a mark
Not of what you lost but what you learned to carry through
Josh, the universe was careful when it made you

[Bridge]
Let the tide come in, let the current go
You are held by something deeper than you'll ever know
Every piece of you, the shadow and the light
Was placed exactly, carefully, right

[Outro]
You don't have to be unbroken to be whole
Josh, the stars remember every part of your soul
