[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold the room,
Like a winter sky that carries its own moon,
A mind that maps the future while the present breathes,
You see what others miss beneath the ordinary seams,
You've carried discipline like armor, worn it clean,
The most original soul that no one fully sees

[PreChorus]
But the ocean in you runs so deep and wide,
And even lions learn to weep inside

[Chorus]
Bert, you were written by a careful hand,
A current and a compass, fire and land,
You don't have to be perfect to be whole,
The cosmos mapped you carefully, soul by soul

[Verse 2]
You love the way a spark becomes a claim,
You dive before the water knows your name,
All or nothing, that's the only way you know,
A hunger for the places other people won't go,
You've given trust like currency to ones who spent it fast,
And every time you loved again, you built something that lasts

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see what you've paid,
The depth of you was never meant to fade

[Chorus]
Bert, you were written by a careful hand,
A current and a compass, fire and land,
You don't have to be perfect to be whole,
The cosmos mapped you carefully, soul by soul

[Verse 3]
You've stood at the edge of what you couldn't name,
Where the roots of home held grief no one could claim,
You searched for solid ground in shifting tides,
And built a sanctuary somewhere deep inside,
What felt like dissolution was a door,
Every loss became a lesson carrying more

[PreChorus]
The wound that made you doubt your worth and place,
Was always just the shadow of your grace

[Chorus]
Bert, you were written by a careful hand,
A current and a compass, fire and land,
You don't have to be perfect to be whole,
The cosmos mapped you carefully, soul by soul

[Verse 4]
There's a new moon rising over everything you've known,
An awakening that finds you ready, standing in your own,
The world needs what you carry in that uncommon mind,
The vision and the tenderness you've left behind,
You're not too much, you're not too strange, you're not too late,
You are precisely what the universe creates

[PreChorus]
So let the tide come in and let it fill,
You've earned the quiet, you've earned the still

[Chorus]
Bert, you were written by a careful hand,
A current and a compass, fire and land,
You don't have to be perfect to be whole,
The cosmos mapped you carefully, soul by soul

[Bridge]
You are the calm that holds when everything is loud,
The kind of rare that doesn't need to say it proud,
What you've been reaching for has been reaching back,
You were never lost, just learning your own path

[Outro]
Let the stars speak what your heart already knows,
You are held in something deeper than it shows,
You are enough, you always have been, always will,
Bert, you are the current, not the spill
