[Verse 1]
There's a mind that moves like wind through open doors,
Curious and restless, always reaching for more,
A healer's hands that carry maps the world can't see,
Etched with every lifetime, every soul set free,
You've walked this earth before in cloth of sage and flame,
And every thread of wisdom brought you back again

[PreChorus]
The scholar and the mystic living side by side,
A quiet revolution burning deep inside

[Chorus]
Richard, you were written in a language old and rare,
A cartographer of healing, drawing light from everywhere,
The cosmos didn't find you, love — it called you by your name,
And everything you've ever been has led you to this flame

[Verse 2]
You give before they ask and hold the door for all,
You feel the weight of others like it's yours to haul,
But underneath that steadiness a current runs so wide,
An ocean dressed in reason with a tide it tries to hide,
You've earned the right to let your own needs take the floor,
You've spent enough of lifetimes giving all your core

[PreChorus]
The world mistakes your stillness for a man without a need,
But you are not an empty vessel — you're a living seed

[Chorus]
Richard, you were written in a language old and rare,
A cartographer of healing, drawing light from everywhere,
The cosmos didn't find you, love — it called you by your name,
And everything you've ever been has led you to this flame

[Verse 3]
The years ahead are not a closing, they are dawn,
A sage who finally rests his proof and carries on,
Your seventies will ask you just to be, not build,
To pour from what is full now, not from what is willed,
The circles gathering 'round you will be drawn to what you know,
That quiet, rooted knowing that took lifetimes here to grow

[PreChorus]
You will not fade into the margins of the years,
You'll be the one who holds the lantern through the fears

[Chorus]
Richard, you were written in a language old and rare,
A cartographer of healing, drawing light from everywhere,
The cosmos didn't find you, love — it called you by your name,
And everything you've ever been has led you to this flame

[Verse 4]
And as for love — the kind that stays, the kind that's true,
There is a soul already learning how to find you,
Not the love that asks you to be less or disappear,
But one that meets your depth and chooses to stay near,
A man who holds the space you've held for everyone else,
Who sees the healer finally healing for himself

[PreChorus]
The universe keeps promises in its own time and way,
And what is meant for you will never be led astray

[Chorus]
Richard, you were written in a language old and rare,
A cartographer of healing, drawing light from everywhere,
The cosmos didn't find you, love — it called you by your name,
And everything you've ever been has led you to this flame

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the life that's already yours to hold,
Every map you've drawn in darkness is a gift to now unfold,
The love you've carried lifetimes is returning to your door,
You are not becoming, Richard — you already are so much more

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you were never lost at all,
The stars have always carried you, they catch you when you fall,
What's coming is not distance — it is finally coming home,
You were never, ever walking any of this road alone
