[Verse 1]
There's a mind inside you moving faster than the light,
Two voices running parallel, both of them are right,
You read a room before you've crossed the door,
Then wonder if the version that they saw was worth more,
You've built your worth on what your hands could hold,
Not knowing that your richness starts below the cold

[PreChorus]
But every wall you've built was just a bridge you hadn't crossed,
And every word you swallowed wasn't something that you lost

[Chorus]
Derek, the sky wrote you down in fire and will,
A Gemini heart with a mountain's kind of still,
The stars don't make mistakes and neither did they here,
You are exactly who this world needs, exactly now, exactly here

[Verse 2]
You carry ambition like a stone against your chest,
Always measuring your progress like it's one more final test,
They see the confidence, they miss the quiet tide,
All those currents working overtime inside,
The ache of needing proof that what you've done was real,
That quiet hunger underneath the face you let them feel

[PreChorus]
But every doubt you've carried built a depth no one can shake,
And every night you wrestled with yourself kept you awake

[Chorus]
Derek, the sky wrote you down in fire and will,
A Gemini heart with a mountain's kind of still,
The stars don't make mistakes and neither did they here,
You are exactly who this world needs, exactly now, exactly here

[Verse 3]
You love like someone who has studied what it costs,
You've mapped the shorelines of connection and the things you've almost lost,
A conversation is your closest kind of home,
You need the space to wander but you don't want to be alone,
The pull between the stage and the quiet of your roots,
That tension isn't broken — it's the hunger that produces fruits

[PreChorus]
The lion in your calling keeps on asking you to shine,
And every scar you've carried was the making of your spine

[Chorus]
Derek, the sky wrote you down in fire and will,
A Gemini heart with a mountain's kind of still,
The stars don't make mistakes and neither did they here,
You are exactly who this world needs, exactly now, exactly here

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
You don't have to bleed to make the offering complete,
The universe has held your name since long before this day,
Let the season turning toward the light say what words cannot say

[Outro]
You were written in the deep before the world began,
Every contradiction was the blueprint, every wound was part of the plan,
Rest inside the knowing — you were never too much, never too small,
You were always, already, more than enough for it all
