[Verse 1]
He carries the sea inside his chest, still and wide,
A tide that runs so deep, it never shows at high side,
The warmth he gives the world, he rarely keeps for home,
A man who tends the hearth but sometimes tends alone,
He reads the room before the words are ever said,
A heart that hears what lives between the lines instead,

[PreChorus]
But the weight he holds so steady, he holds it quietly,
The world sees solid ground — it doesn't see the sea.

[Chorus]
Let the stars speak, Jim, let them call your name,
You're written in the sky and you'll never be the same,
The moon knows what you carry when the night grows long,
Jim, you are the deep water, and the deep water's strong.

[Verse 2]
He built himself from discipline and duty's steady hand,
Proved his worth in silence where no praise would ever land,
There's a fire in his searching, something vast and free,
That pulls against the anchor like a ship that needs the sea,
He loves with care and detail, in the quiet things he does,
Not in declarations but in everything he was.

[PreChorus]
And the walls he built to hold it all together through the years,
Were never made of coldness — they were made of quiet tears.

[Chorus]
Let the stars speak, Jim, let them call your name,
You're written in the sky and you'll never be the same,
The moon knows what you carry when the night grows long,
Jim, you are the deep water, and the deep water's strong.

[Verse 3]
He's walked between two worlds his whole life, never quite at ease,
Between the need for roots and the need for open seas,
His mind turns over questions others never think to ask,
He sees behind the surface and beneath the given mask,
There's healing in his story, in the places that still ache,
Every bridge he crossed in darkness was a bridge he helped to make.

[PreChorus]
And something in the heavens knew exactly who he'd be,
Carved his soul from tidal stone and set it running free.

[Chorus]
Let the stars speak, Jim, let them call your name,
You're written in the sky and you'll never be the same,
The moon knows what you carry when the night grows long,
Jim, you are the deep water, and the deep water's strong.

[Bridge]
He doesn't need the proving, doesn't need the noise,
There's a quiet kind of power in a man who holds his poise,
The cosmos wrote him carefully in ink that will not fade,
And every part of who he is was perfectly made.

[Outro]
So let the stars speak softly, let them find their way,
Jim, you were always enough — you were enough today.
