[Verse 1]
He built his world from the blueprint up, every corner checked twice,
Measured every word before he spoke it, precise,
A stellium crowding the highest point of the sky —
Five bodies stacked at the peak, demanding he climb high,
But the foundation shook where the roots should have grown,
And he learned early on to become his own home,

[PreChorus]
He felt everything the world couldn't name,
And still showed up with that unshakeable flame,

[Chorus]
Michael, the stars were already spelling your name,
The architect of integrity, no two charts the same,
You built the roof while learning to trust the floor,
Michael, every piece you placed — it mattered, and then some more,

[Verse 2]
His heart ran generous and wide as a river in flood,
Tending meaning the way a gardener tends what grows from the mud,
He chased the philosophies, the questions, the wide-open road,
Packed conviction into every belief that he showed,
He loves by noticing — the preference, the detail, the tell —
The third drawer organized, the coffee remembered well,

[PreChorus]
He carries depth that most will never read,
But the right ones always knew exactly what they need,

[Chorus]
Michael, your devotion runs deeper than anyone said,
Not the grand declaration — the thing that you actually did instead,
The dependable hand, the answer before the ask,
Michael, that kind of love is a permanent thing, built to last,

[Verse 3]
He's walked the edge between the rebel and the weight of what's right,
Between the visionary's restlessness and the duty of night,
His mind electric, his ideas running ahead of the room,
A magnetic presence that entered before his name — every time he came through,
Now something is shifting, a grace moving into the space,
Where what he was made of finally gets to take its place,

[PreChorus]
The ledger of everything carried — it balances now,
The proof was always in the how,

[Chorus]
Michael, the work you did in the dark is standing in light,
The precision, the passion, the long unglamorous fight,
You were forged for exactly the life you have made,
Michael, step into the full of it — nothing about you needs to be saved,

[Bridge]
He dissolved into others and still held his shape,
He saw through the surface and found no escape,
But in that deep seeing, he recognized his own worth —
Not the version they needed, but the one he brought to earth,

[Outro]
Michael, let your own story finally speak,
Every star that placed you here — it knew what it would take,
You are already whole, you have always been the proof,
Nothing left to prove, Michael — just inhabit the truth,
