[Verse 1]
He carries the weight of a thousand unspoken thoughts,
A mind like a current that maps what the daylight forgot,
Still waters on the surface, but the undertow runs deep,
He holds the world together while the rest of the world's asleep,
Born between the lightning and the long, patient stone,
A contradiction walking — never quite at home alone

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those oceans churning quietly inside

[Chorus]
The stars wrote you carefully, Mark, with ink that never fades,
A lion's heart, a dreamer's mind, a soul that isn't afraid,
You don't need the spotlight to know that your light is real,
You are enough — every shard, every wound, every feel

[Verse 2]
He loves like a covenant, slow and built to last,
Not the fire that burns out fast but the ember that outlasts the ash,
He's drawn to something soulful, something true beneath the seams,
And he's given more than he's been given back, it seems,
But every act of service is a root that grows unseen,
The garden that he tends is deeper than it's ever been

[PreChorus]
They see the giving, not the ache behind,
The sacred kind of strength that takes a lifetime to find

[Chorus]
The stars wrote you carefully, Mark, with ink that never fades,
A lion's heart, a dreamer's mind, a soul that isn't afraid,
You don't need the spotlight to know that your light is real,
You are enough — every shard, every wound, every feel

[Verse 3]
He's walked through rooms where no one said his name out loud,
Worked in silence, built in shadow, never played it for the crowd,
The recognition he deserved was slow to find its way,
But worth was never something that approval gets to weigh,
He's breaking what was handed down and building something new,
The compass always pointing toward a truer, deeper truth

[PreChorus]
The universe has mapped his path in grace,
And every scar he carries holds a sacred, earned place

[Chorus]
The stars wrote you carefully, Mark, with ink that never fades,
A lion's heart, a dreamer's mind, a soul that isn't afraid,
You don't need the spotlight to know that your light is real,
You are enough — every shard, every wound, every feel

[Bridge]
Let the tides inside you rise without apology,
What looks like contradiction is the fullness of your story,
The world still needs what only you have learned to carry here,
You were written by the cosmos — and the writing is so clear

[Outro]
So rest inside the knowing that was always there,
Mark, you were never lost — just becoming, breath by breath, with care
