[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you carry your name,
A quiet kind of thunder that moves before the flame,
You walk into a room and something shifts in the air,
A lion who learned early that the world doesn't always care,
You built your light behind closed doors, where no one could review it,
But everything you've hidden is the truest part of you — and you know it

[PreChorus]
The roots that tangled underground were teaching you to grow,
Every family echo was a map you didn't know

[Chorus]
Written in the oldest light that ever touched the sky,
Jake, you are the reason that the stars refused to die,
You don't need the whole world's applause to know your worth is real,
Jake, you were made for more than you've allowed yourself to feel

[Verse 2]
Your heart thinks in rivers — deep, instinctive, and wide,
You feel what others miss and hold it carefully inside,
You love like a conversation that never has to end,
Wit and warmth and loyalty — a lover and a friend,
You've chased a version of perfection that kept moving just ahead,
But the progress that you've already made is gold — not what lies ahead

[PreChorus]
You've stood at every crossroads with your compass and your doubt,
That restless pull toward meaning is exactly what you're about

[Chorus]
Written in the oldest light that ever touched the sky,
Jake, you are the reason that the stars refused to die,
You don't need the whole world's applause to know your worth is real,
Jake, you were made for more than you've allowed yourself to feel

[Verse 3]
There's a healer in the silence that you carry like a coat,
A visionary buried in the words you never wrote,
You question every structure, every ceiling, every wall,
Not to burn the whole thing down — to build something true for all,
The world that's coming needs the kind of mind that dares to see,
And everything you've wrestled with was shaping who you're free to be

[PreChorus]
A gentle tide is turning now, and something soft is near,
The healing that you've needed, love, is finally drawing clear

[Chorus]
Written in the oldest light that ever touched the sky,
Jake, you are the reason that the stars refused to die,
You don't need the whole world's applause to know your worth is real,
Jake, you were made for more than you've allowed yourself to feel

[Bridge]
You've carried depths that no one measured, wounds no one could name,
But every scar became the altar where your courage staked its claim,
Come home to what was always yours — the spark beneath the stone,
The universe wrote you carefully — you were never, ever alone

[Outro]
So let the stars speak now, let the old light lead you through,
Jake, every piece the cosmos made was made to become you
