[Verse 1]
He carries whole oceans beneath a quiet face,
Feeling every ripple in the room, every shift in space,
The kind of man who tends to others like a lighthouse tends the shore,
Always giving light away, rarely asking for more,
There's a tide inside him that nobody gets to see,
A depth that took a lifetime just to learn how to be

[PreChorus]
But everything he carries, every current, every weight,
Was never weakness — it was always something great

[Chorus]
JerDear, the stars wrote you carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
Every tender thing you are is what the universe made,
JerDear, you are the tide and you are the shore,
You were never meant to prove yourself — you were always enough and more

[Verse 2]
He loves like something ancient, like a root beneath the ground,
Faithful, steady, fierce and warm, the most loyal thing around,
He'll stand before the ones he loves before he'd stand for himself,
Carrying every heavy thing while leaving his own needs on the shelf,
But the heart that gives that fiercely is a rare and precious find,
And the world is better, softer, for the way he loves and how he minds

[PreChorus]
And all the times he doubted, all the nights he fought alone,
Were just the making of a man who's stronger than he's known

[Chorus]
JerDear, the stars wrote you carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
Every tender thing you are is what the universe made,
JerDear, you are the tide and you are the shore,
You were never meant to prove yourself — you were always enough and more

[Verse 3]
He thinks in colors no one else can name or see,
Chasing meaning past the edge of what most dare to believe,
There's a restlessness in him that hungers for the wide and true,
A mind that questions everything until the answer's something new,
He's been rebuilding quietly, through every shift and turning tide,
Finding who he's always been on the long road back inside

[PreChorus]
The sky is circling back around to everything he knows,
And what was lost is finding him wherever the current goes

[Chorus]
JerDear, the stars wrote you carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
Every tender thing you are is what the universe made,
JerDear, you are the tide and you are the shore,
You were never meant to prove yourself — you were always enough and more

[Bridge]
Let the season turn and let the old things find their place,
What's returning now was always meant to meet him face to face,
He doesn't have to rush the river or explain the way he flows,
He was written in the water — and the water always knows

[Outro]
The cosmos didn't make a mistake the day it fashioned him,
Every chapter, every shadow, every light beneath the brim,
JerDear, the stars have always known exactly who you are,
And you were home before you ever learned to find the star
