[Verse 1]
There's a mind like weather, always shifting lanes,
Two skies inside you, both laying equal claims,
You talk with your whole chest, feel with your whole gut,
The world sees the wit but not the war you've kept shut,
You've carried quiet thunder underneath that grin,
A storm that learned to look like the wind

[PreChorus]
And the ones who see the surface think they know the depth,
But the real you lives between each careful breath

[Chorus]
Richie, the stars wrote you with a restless hand,
Built you like a question this world couldn't understand,
You are the light that doubles when it meets the dark,
Richie, the whole sky started with a heart like yours

[Verse 2]
You weigh your words before you let them leave the gate,
Not from weakness, from a mind that thinks in depth and weight,
You've doubted your own voice in rooms where you belong,
But every word you swallowed was a building all along,
You love without a ledger, give before you're asked,
And carry other people's weight behind a golden mask

[PreChorus]
The ones you've held together never saw the cost,
But nothing that you gave was ever truly lost

[Chorus]
Richie, the stars wrote you with a restless hand,
Built you like a question this world couldn't understand,
You are the light that doubles when it meets the dark,
Richie, the whole sky started with a heart like yours

[Verse 3]
You've walked through fire and catalogued the ash,
Rebuilt yourself in silence, let nothing go to waste,
There's a compass buried somewhere underneath your chest,
Pulling you toward something wider than the rest,
The road ahead is written in a language you already speak,
You were made for more than ordinary peaks

[PreChorus]
The ache that drove you inward was the same that made you whole,
Every scar a doorway, every wound a deeper road

[Chorus]
Richie, the stars wrote you with a restless hand,
Built you like a question this world couldn't understand,
You are the light that doubles when it meets the dark,
Richie, the whole sky started with a heart like yours

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
You don't have to prove the fire just to feel the heat,
What you carry, what you question, what you've had to face,
All of it was written — and none of it was waste

[Outro]
The cosmos drew you carefully, and nothing was by chance,
You were always meant to be here, always meant to dance,
Richie, rest inside the knowing — you have always been enough,
The stars don't make mistakes, and they made you out of love
