[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the calm you show
A tide that pulls in directions no one else can know
You feel the weight of every room before you speak
Building something solid while the undertow runs deep
They see the steady surface, never guess the storm
The sensitivity you carry is what keeps you warm

[PreChorus]
You've learned to hold it all together, learned to stand alone
But the ground beneath your feet has always been your own

[Chorus]
Mike, you were written in the deep and in the tide
Every contradiction burning bright inside
The cosmos carved you careful, made you true
There is nothing in this universe like you

[Verse 2]
You love like someone ancient, like the roots of an old tree
Tender and protective, giving shelter quietly
You long to build a home inside another heart
All or nothing, every time, right from the very start
And if you've ever held your worth up to the light and doubted
Know that doubt itself is proof of how deeply you've felt it

[PreChorus]
The walls you've built were never weakness, never something wrong
They're the blueprint of a person who has had to be strong

[Chorus]
Mike, you were written in the deep and in the tide
Every contradiction burning bright inside
The cosmos carved you careful, made you true
There is nothing in this universe like you

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves fast, chasing every thread and open door
A philosopher, a seeker, always hungry for more
You speak with quiet fire when you finally let it out
Words that cut through noise and leave no room for doubt
The bigger picture lives inside the way you think
You carry whole horizons every time you blink

[PreChorus]
The restlessness you feel is not a flaw you need to fix
It's a compass always searching for the truth beneath the myth

[Chorus]
Mike, you were written in the deep and in the tide
Every contradiction burning bright inside
The cosmos carved you careful, made you true
There is nothing in this universe like you

[Verse 4]
You've earned every scar the hard way, paid your dues in full
Felt the push and pull between the dream and the real
Between the one who gives and the one who needs to receive
Between the life you've built and all you still believe
The ache of being undervalued fades with every step
You don't have to earn your place, you never owed a debt

[PreChorus]
The path ahead was made for someone willing to endure
And everything you've carried, it has only made you more

[Chorus]
Mike, you were written in the deep and in the tide
Every contradiction burning bright inside
The cosmos carved you careful, made you true
There is nothing in this universe like you

[Bridge]
You don't have to keep proving what you already are
The moon remembers every wound and turned it to a scar
You are held by something ancient, something wide and sure
You are already whole, already enough, already pure

[Outro]
Let the tide come in, let the current run
You were written by the stars before your life begun
Mike, the world needs everything you carry and you give
This is not a life you're building, this is how you live
