[Verse 1]
He reads a room before he speaks a word,
Sees what's underneath what's seen and heard,
A mind that moves through layers, dark and deep,
Holding truths that ordinary eyes can't keep,
He walks into a space and shifts the air,
The kind of presence that makes people stop and stare,

[PreChorus]
But beneath that steady ground there runs a tide,
A whole ocean he was never taught to guide,

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Tom in ink that doesn't fade,
A man of fire and depth and light and shade,
Tom, you carry more than you let anyone see,
Born to lead, born to love, born to run free,

[Verse 2]
He's given everything to earn his rightful place,
Poured himself out just to feel worth the space,
Worked through silence when the recognition stalled,
Built his character from every time he fell,
That ache of going unseen became his forge,
Now his legacy is something worth far more,

[PreChorus]
He loves with something ancient and immense,
All or nothing, no halfway, no pretense,

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Tom in ink that doesn't fade,
A man of fire and depth and light and shade,
Tom, you carry more than you let anyone see,
Born to lead, born to love, born to run free,

[Verse 3]
There's a rebel in the way he sees the world,
Questions every flag they've ever had unfurled,
He gives before he's asked and thinks in wide,
Expansive arcs the small-minded would hide,
He craves the kind of truth that sets things free,
Not just for himself but for whoever needs,

[PreChorus]
The universe mapped out this road with care,
Every scar a stepping stone that got him there,

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Tom in ink that doesn't fade,
A man of fire and depth and light and shade,
Tom, you carry more than you let anyone see,
Born to lead, born to love, born to run free,

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to just be known,
Every root you ever grew was worth the stone,
The cosmos didn't make you to be halfway lived,
You are the gift, not just the things you give,

[Outro]
So rest inside the man that you already are,
Tom, you were always written in the stars,
