[Verse 1]
He moves through the world with a curious flame,
Two minds in one body, no two days the same,
He reads every room before he walks through the door,
Gives the best of himself, then quietly gives more,
There's a tide running under that calm, steady face,
An ocean of feeling he carries with grace,

[PreChorus]
He holds the whole world in that sharp, tender mind,
And leaves all the credit and glory behind,

[Chorus]
John, you are written in something that lasts,
A man built from futures and shaped by the past,
The stars knew your name when they mapped out this road,
You are more than enough, and you've always been whole,

[Verse 2]
He notices everything, nothing slips through,
The crack in the ceiling, the shift in your mood,
He'll carry a burden before he'll complain,
Turn silence to shelter and purpose from pain,
They see all the calm, never knowing the cost,
Of keeping the pieces together when others are lost,

[PreChorus]
But every quiet act has a weight and a worth,
The roots that hold longest run deepest through earth,

[Chorus]
John, you are written in something that lasts,
A man built from futures and shaped by the past,
The stars knew your name when they mapped out this road,
You are more than enough, and you've always been whole,

[Verse 3]
He loves like a slow river, steady and true,
Not fast and forgettable, patient and new,
He doesn't say everything living inside,
But the people he loves know which stars are his guide,
He was built to contribute, to matter, to lead,
A rare kind of person that rare people need,

[PreChorus]
He's done enough proving, he's earned every rest,
There's nothing left broken, he's already blessed,

[Chorus]
John, you are written in something that lasts,
A man built from futures and shaped by the past,
The stars knew your name when they mapped out this road,
You are more than enough, and you've always been whole,

[Bridge]
Let the inner fire rest where the quiet runs deep,
Some lights burn for others, some are yours to keep,
The world holds its breath for the things you'll still do,
But the greatest gift given is simply being you,

[Outro]
So rest in the knowing, lay down all the weight,
You were never behind, you were never too late,
John, you were always exactly on time,
