[Verse 1]
He came into this world like the first light of December
A quiet kind of miracle his people will remember
Built from steel and starlight, with a mind that maps the skies
The kind of soul who carries more than shows behind his eyes
He moves with something ancient, patient, steady as the ground
A mountain learning slowly that it doesn't need to be found

[PreChorus]
But the distance grew like winter, long and cold and wide
And love don't need a reason just to wait on the other side

[Chorus]
Jesse, you were written in the deep
A fire that the darkness couldn't keep
From the very first breath to the life you're living now
You are loved beyond the words that we know how

[Verse 2]
He thinks in constellations, dreams in futures not yet made
His heart holds more than logic but he keeps it in the shade
He loves the ones he chooses like a river loves the sea
Unconventional and loyal, always reaching to be free
He built some walls to shield him while he figured out his worth
Don't know the roots were never cut, they're still beneath the earth

[PreChorus]
And if the road back ever seems too long to find your way
The door was never locked, son, it is open every day

[Chorus]
Jesse, you were written in the deep
A fire that the darkness couldn't keep
From the very first breath to the life you're living now
You are loved beyond the words that we know how

[Verse 3]
The voices in the distance sometimes lie about the past
They'll tell you what you're leaving is the thing that couldn't last
But love that's real don't crumble when the seasons pull apart
It doesn't need an answer and it doesn't need a start
The skies are wide above you and the stars don't choose a side
They just keep burning steady through the turning of the tide

[PreChorus]
So carry this like sunlight through the chapters still to come
You are somebody's greatest gift, you are somebody's son

[Chorus]
Jesse, you were written in the deep
A fire that the darkness couldn't keep
From the very first breath to the life you're living now
You are loved beyond the words that we know how

[Bridge]
Whether close or far across the miles you roam
There's a love that holds you even when you can't come home
You don't owe your greatness to the ghosts of any doubt
You were always the answer, never what we worried about

[Outro]
So go and build your mountains, let your story find its ground
We'll be here like gravity, the day you turn around
You were heaven's finest work on a late December day
And nothing in this world could ever take that love away
