[Verse 1]
He carries the ocean wherever he goes,
A quiet depth that the surface never shows,
The kind of man who holds the room without a word,
A steady hand, a heart that's rarely heard,
He built his world on loyalty and care,
The kind of love that was always, always there,

[PreChorus]
But behind the calm, there's a tide that pulls and turns,
A fire underneath that quietly burns,

[Chorus]
Stephen, the stars wrote you carefully and true,
With courage in your bones and an ocean inside you,
You were made to lead, to love, to leave your mark,
The universe mapped its path right through your heart,

[Verse 2]
His mind moves fast, electric, restless, wide,
A thousand questions burning bright inside,
He's thought of things the world has yet to find,
A visionary living in his time,
But the weight of seeing further than the rest
Is a quiet ache he carries in his chest,

[PreChorus]
That ache is not a flaw, it is a flame,
The world is richer for the fact that he came,

[Chorus]
Stephen, the stars wrote you carefully and true,
With courage in your bones and an ocean inside you,
You were made to lead, to love, to leave your mark,
The universe mapped its path right through your heart,

[Verse 3]
He loves like something ancient and immense,
Fierce and loyal in his own defense,
He'll fight for everyone before himself,
Then quietly shelve his own unspoken wealth,
They see the strength but not the tender place,
The one who holds the world with so much grace,

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn the right to rest and be,
You've always been enough, just let yourself see,

[Chorus]
Stephen, the stars wrote you carefully and true,
With courage in your bones and an ocean inside you,
You were made to lead, to love, to leave your mark,
The universe mapped its path right through your heart,

[Verse 4]
The wounds he carried quietly in the dark,
Became the wisdom etched into his mark,
Every storm he weathered, every wall he climbed,
Left a kind of gold that cannot be defined,
The world needs what he carries, every part,
The sacred ordinary of his heart,

[PreChorus]
The tides are turning now, a healing light appears,
Everything he planted growing after all these years,

[Chorus]
Stephen, the stars wrote you carefully and true,
With courage in your bones and an ocean inside you,
You were made to lead, to love, to leave your mark,
The universe mapped its path right through your heart,

[Bridge]
He is rooted like the earth and wild like the sea,
He is every quiet moment and every victory,
The cosmos carved him gently out of tide and light and stone,
And all the love he ever gave is coming back home,

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing you are held and seen,
Every chapter of your life has always, always meant something,
Stephen, you were written in the stars from the start,
And the universe is proud of every beat of your heart,
