[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you hold your ground,
A mind that never rests till truth is found,
You speak before the room knows what to say,
Your ideas burn like the middle of the day,
The world sees confidence, a steady glow,
But few have seen the weight you carry low

[PreChorus]
You've learned to look like certainty from the outside in,
But the real work happens quietly under your skin

[Chorus]
Dustin, the stars wrote you wide and deep,
A lion and a current running in your sleep,
You don't have to earn the space that you were made to fill,
You were mapped before the moment, and you're reckoned with still

[Verse 2]
You love like someone building a home from scratch,
Every room a memory, every door a latch,
You give before they ask and hold before they break,
That tenderness you guard — it isn't yours to fake,
You've been burned by letting people past the wall,
But the depth that draws them in is worth it all

[PreChorus]
You've mistaken your devotion for a dangerous thing,
But the way you love has always been your offering

[Chorus]
Dustin, the stars wrote you wide and deep,
A lion and a current running in your sleep,
You don't have to earn the space that you were made to fill,
You were mapped before the moment, and you're reckoned with still

[Verse 3]
You've walked the long road asking what it means,
Chased the horizon hidden in between,
You've questioned every system, every rule,
Not out of restlessness — you just refuse to be a fool,
The silence you've been handed wasn't loss,
It was the universe teaching you the cost

[PreChorus]
Every scar you carry quietly became a kind of knowing,
And every time you rose again, something ancient kept on growing

[Chorus]
Dustin, the stars wrote you wide and deep,
A lion and a current running in your sleep,
You don't have to earn the space that you were made to fill,
You were mapped before the moment, and you're reckoned with still

[Bridge]
You were built for the kind of truth that lasts,
Not the applause, but the long view looking past,
The cosmos didn't write you small or plain,
Every part of you was placed here with a name

[Outro]
The season turns and finds you where you stand,
Already whole, already in your own hands,
You were never lost — just learning how to stay,
And everything you are is right on time today
