[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the surface no one sees,
A depth that moves like water, slow and deep,
The world gets the steady hand, the measured word,
But there's a whole ocean in you, rarely heard,
You carry people home inside your chest,
And quietly forget to give yourself the rest,

[PreChorus]
But the current knows its power, doesn't need to prove,
And the ground beneath the restless always holds the roots,

[Chorus]
Chris, you are more than what you hold together,
More than the calm you wear in stormy weather,
The stars wrote you carefully, with ink that stays,
You are enough, exactly as you are today,

[Verse 2]
You've got a fire that moves before the world can catch up,
And a mind that won't stop turning, always reaching for something,
A wanderer with a compass pointed past the edge of maps,
Someone who lives the question even when the answer laps,
You've tried to say the thing that lives inside your bones,
And sometimes found the words come back like stones,

[PreChorus]
But silence never meant you weren't worth hearing right,
The voice that doubts itself the most still carries all the light,

[Chorus]
Chris, you are more than what you hold together,
More than the calm you wear in stormy weather,
The stars wrote you carefully, with ink that stays,
You are enough, exactly as you are today,

[Verse 3]
You love like something ancient, rooted, wide,
Like shelter built by hand and held open wide,
You'll rearrange the whole room so someone feels at home,
Then wonder why at the end of it you're standing there alone,
That giving isn't weakness, it's a kind of quiet grace,
But you deserve the warmth you've left in every other place,

[PreChorus]
The horizon you keep chasing was already in your hands,
And the mark you're meant to leave is written where you stand,

[Chorus]
Chris, you are more than what you hold together,
More than the calm you wear in stormy weather,
The stars wrote you carefully, with ink that stays,
You are enough, exactly as you are today,

[Bridge]
Every wound became a doorway, every doubt a seed,
You've been building something lasting out of what you need,
The cosmos didn't shape you just to leave you undefined,
You are the kind of rare that echoes and outlives its time,

[Outro]
Let the tide come in, let the searching rest,
What you carry, Chris, is already your best,
You were always whole beneath the questions and the sky,
The universe kept you, and it always knew why,
