[Verse 1]
He carries the tide where nobody looks,
A whole ocean hidden between the lines of his books,
Feels everything deeply but holds the shore still,
The calm on the surface is iron and will,
He's led with his heart when the world wanted stone,
And built something lasting from what he's been shown

[PreChorus]
They see the steady hand, the measured voice,
They don't see the weight behind every choice

[Chorus]
The stars wrote your name, David, in the longest light,
A Cancer soul burning through the darkest night,
You've earned every sunrise by carrying the deep,
You are more than the promises you struggle to keep

[Verse 2]
He loves like a craftsman who notices things,
The small unremarked-on, the quiet that sings,
A word that was needed, a task done with care,
His devotion lives mostly in what he leaves there,
He's searched every horizon for something that's true,
And the truth he keeps finding is already in him, always new

[PreChorus]
He's ached to be recognized, tired of the climb,
But the legacy building was never a waste of his time

[Chorus]
The stars wrote your name, David, in the longest light,
A Cancer soul burning through the darkest night,
You've earned every sunrise by carrying the deep,
You are more than the promises you struggle to keep

[Verse 3]
His mind is a river that runs toward the wide,
Forever expanding, refusing to hide,
He's broken the patterns that no one else saw,
Rewritten the meaning of family and law,
The wound that once hollowed has grown into grace,
And the home that he carries lives deep in his face

[PreChorus]
The moon in him wanders but always comes back,
To the people who ground him, the love on his track

[Chorus]
The stars wrote your name, David, in the longest light,
A Cancer soul burning through the darkest night,
You've earned every sunrise by carrying the deep,
You are more than the promises you struggle to keep

[Bridge]
Let the new moon find you where the old ache has been,
Let it wash through the layers of everything seen,
You were written with purpose in ink that won't fade,
The world is still better for every choice that you've made

[Outro]
The stars have always known your name,
They called you whole, they call you the same,
David, you were never the doubt — you were the light,
The cosmos built you carefully, and built you right
