[Verse 1]
He moves like something rooted to the ground
Steady hands, a mind that turns things slow and sound
He reads the world like a book he means to keep
Absorbing every truth down to the deep
There's a hunger in him reaching past the hill
A soul that won't stop learning, never will

[PreChorus]
But underneath the calm there runs a tide
A lion heart he carries locked inside

[Chorus]
Let the stars speak, Matthew, let them call your name
You were written in the heavens long before you came
Every scar, every silence, every mile you've known
The sky mapped out a man the world is lucky to have shown

[Verse 2]
He loves like something ancient, wide, and true
Like a quiet river running straight to you
He gives before he's asked, he holds the line
A steady hand, a lamp, a sheltering vine
But he's carried his own weight without a sound
And he deserves the kind of love that comes back around

[PreChorus]
He's fought for those he loves with everything
And asked for nothing back come suffering

[Chorus]
Let the stars speak, Matthew, let them call your name
You were written in the heavens long before you came
Every scar, every silence, every mile you've known
The sky mapped out a man the world is lucky to have shown

[Verse 3]
He's chased the bigger picture past the ridge
Built himself up plank by plank across the bridge
There's ambition in the marrow of his bone
A long-game kind of man who earns his own
But the wound he keeps the quietest runs deep
A wondering if his worth is his to keep

[PreChorus]
He works to prove what's already been true
The proof was always there — he always knew

[Chorus]
Let the stars speak, Matthew, let them call your name
You were written in the heavens long before you came
Every scar, every silence, every mile you've known
The sky mapped out a man the world is lucky to have shown

[Verse 4]
A Cancer moon arrives and something shifts
The kind of awakening that loosens heavy gifts
What's been held beneath the surface starts to rise
A gentler way of seeing through his eyes
He doesn't have to earn the right to feel
The tenderest parts of him are what make him real

[PreChorus]
The universe has known him all along
And wove him into something sure and strong

[Chorus]
Let the stars speak, Matthew, let them call your name
You were written in the heavens long before you came
Every scar, every silence, every mile you've known
The sky mapped out a man the world is lucky to have shown

[Bridge]
He is rooted, he is reaching, he is more than what he's shown
He is guided by a light that was his long before he known
You don't have to hold the sky to matter to this earth
Matthew, all along the stars have known your worth

[Outro]
Let the stars speak, let them say his name
He was built for something holy, not for something plain
The cosmos wrote him carefully — and got it right
He is already whole, already light
