[Verse 1]
He carries the weight of a world no one sees,
Holds every storm like it's just a cool breeze,
The anchor for others, the rock in the rain,
A man made of mountains who swallows his pain,
They see the steady hand, they don't see the tide,
All that fire and feeling locked up inside,

[PreChorus]
But even the deepest roots need room to breathe,
And the strongest hearts are the ones that learn to grieve,

[Chorus]
Hold on, Brandon, the ground is still here,
You are more than the pieces that broke this year,
The stars that wrote you didn't write you to fall,
You were built for the rising, the rising through it all,

[Verse 2]
He loves like a ceremony, like something that lasts,
Like walls built from loyalty, carved from the past,
Grand in his giving, a torch in the dark,
But who holds the keeper, who tends to his heart,
He's been the strong one so long he forgot,
That needing the warmth doesn't mean he is not,

[PreChorus]
The earth beneath him is older than the ache he feels,
And what feels like breaking is just how the soul heals,

[Chorus]
Hold on, Brandon, the ground is still here,
You are more than the pieces that broke this year,
The stars that wrote you didn't write you to fall,
You were built for the rising, the rising through it all,

[Verse 3]
A Virgo heart in a complicated sky,
He maps every detail but can't always say why,
There's a quiet authority deep in his bones,
A Taurus moon needing somewhere that feels like home,
He is not what was lost when the chapter went dark,
He's the ink and the author, the fire and the spark,

[PreChorus]
The cosmos didn't craft him just to leave him here,
Something ancient is turning and the way is becoming clear,

[Chorus]
Hold on, Brandon, the ground is still here,
You are more than the pieces that broke this year,
The stars that wrote you didn't write you to fall,
You were built for the rising, the rising through it all,

[Bridge]
Let the silence be honest, let the walls come down,
Strength isn't silence, it's not having to drown,
Every scar is a map of where he's been and survived,
He didn't just make it — he is deeply, wholly alive,

[Outro]
The next chapter is written in a different kind of light,
Brandon, the dawn is already breaking tonight,
You are guided, you are held, you are not alone,
You are finally, fully on your way home,
