[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way he moves through the world,
A quiet authority, a lion uncurled,
He carries big questions like lanterns in hand,
Always reaching for something most don't understand,
They see the confidence, they don't see the doubt,
The tidal wave he holds before letting it out

[PreChorus]
But every depth he carries is a compass, not a cage,
Every question that he wrestles writes him forward on the page

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Matthew carefully, in ink that doesn't fade,
A soul built out of thunder and the gentlest light that stayed,
He was made for something wider than the room where he's contained,
Matthew, you were always more than everything you've explained

[Verse 2]
He loves like he's building a home in his chest,
Tender and devoted, he gives nothing less,
But love has been a labyrinth he's mapped in the dark,
Learning which doors open and which ones leave a mark,
He's been the one who stayed when staying cost him most,
And the one who held the room long after leaving the coast

[PreChorus]
The way he loves is ancient, it runs deeper than the tide,
It's not a flaw to feel so much — it's the fire kept inside

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Matthew carefully, in ink that doesn't fade,
A soul built out of thunder and the gentlest light that stayed,
He was made for something wider than the room where he's contained,
Matthew, you were always more than everything you've explained

[Verse 3]
He's still learning that his worth doesn't live in the proof,
That being seen is not the same as standing on a roof,
There's a wound around the question of whether he belongs,
But every doubt he's carried has been quietly making him strong,
The world he's building slowly with his hands and his mind,
Is exactly the one the sky designed

[PreChorus]
He doesn't have to earn the space that always has been his,
The clearest thing the universe knows — is exactly who he is

[Chorus]
The stars wrote Matthew carefully, in ink that doesn't fade,
A soul built out of thunder and the gentlest light that stayed,
He was made for something wider than the room where he's contained,
Matthew, you were always more than everything you've explained

[Bridge]
Let the static clear and let the signal come through,
What was hidden in the noise was always pointing to you,
No more proving, no more shrinking, no more second-guessing the light,
Everything you are is enough — you were enough from the first night

[Outro]
The cosmos doesn't make mistakes and it didn't make one here,
Every piece of who he is was written with intention and care,
Matthew, you were always home — you just needed to hear it clear
