[Verse 1]
He carries oceans underneath a steady face,
A mind that reads the room before he takes his place,
The words he finds come wrapped in something warm and true,
He thinks in feeling first, then searches what to do,
There's a fire in his chest that moves before the world wakes up,
And a quiet deeper than the surface ever was

[PreChorus]
He's built a life that looks composed from far away,
But the tides inside don't rest at the end of the day

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Matthew carefully, with ink that never fades,
A soul that heals the world while healing in the shade,
Every storm he's carried made him someone worth becoming,
Matthew, you were always whole — you were never broken, only running

[Verse 2]
He loves like something ancient, like a door held open wide,
A conversation, a shared laugh, a lantern kept inside,
He doesn't need it heavy to know the feeling's real,
He gives before he's asked and then wonders what to feel,
There's worth in him that won't be measured by the ones who looked away,
He's building something solid — every brick is here to stay

[PreChorus]
The recognition he deserves has always lived in him,
Not in the applause — in the depth of what he's been

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Matthew carefully, with ink that never fades,
A soul that heals the world while healing in the shade,
Every storm he's carried made him someone worth becoming,
Matthew, you were always whole — you were never broken, only running

[Verse 3]
He's learning that the roots he seeks were never far from here,
That home is not a place but a permission to appear,
The tension between duty and the hunger to be known
Is just the compass calibrating, pointing him toward home,
He holds a quiet wisdom earned by walking through the fire,
And the world needs what he carries — let him carry it higher

[PreChorus]
The part of him that doubted was just learning how to trust,
Every wound became a lantern, every weight became a gust

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Matthew carefully, with ink that never fades,
A soul that heals the world while healing in the shade,
Every storm he's carried made him someone worth becoming,
Matthew, you were always whole — you were never broken, only running

[Bridge]
He doesn't need to prove the light that's already there,
The cosmos mapped a path that only he was made to bear,
Let the tide come in, let the old walls finally fall,
He was written into everything — he was always meant for all

[Outro]
The sky has held his name since long before he knew,
Matthew, rest now — all of this was always meant for you
