[Verse 1]
He came in swinging, louder than the room could hold,
Rhythm in his bloodstream before the words were told,
They called him different, tried to file his edges down,
But you can't sand a diamond — it just cuts through the ground,
The youngest of the pack, he learned to love out loud,
Stood at his brother's bedside, holding up the crowd,

[PreChorus]
Every hour in that corridor, he gave what he had,
Carrying the name they built together, good and bad,

[Chorus]
This is your moment, Michael, the stage has got your name,
You held the torch for everyone else through every storm and flame,
The guitar never lied, you let it say what words forgot,
Michael, step into the spotlight — give them everything you've got,

[Verse 2]
He found a family that needed someone steady and true,
Became a father twice before his own daughter flew,
Freya Harmony-Rose arrived and broke him open wide,
The man who always held the door finally stepped inside,
He built his world on loyalty, on showing up at dawn,
The one who kept the band alive when half the band was gone,

[PreChorus]
There's a record still unfinished, full of everything he's owed,
Spring is nearly breaking through — he built his own damn road,

[Chorus]
Step forward now, Michael, the waiting days are done,
You were the one who kept the faith when everyone else would run,
Ten years of songs inside your chest, the world is listening clear,
Michael, let the music lead — your time is finally here,

[Verse 3]
They voted him among the best and still he showed no pride,
Just tuned another string and let the melody decide,
He danced before he walked, he sang before he spoke a word,
The kind of gift that doesn't ask permission to be heard,
He moved through every shadow with his hands still on the strings,
A man who serves his people and still flies on borrowed wings,

[PreChorus]
The album's almost finished, every lyric hard and earned,
Now the stage is his to own — no more waiting for his turn,

[Chorus]
Rise up louder, Michael, sound your name across the air,
You gave your gold to everyone — now keep some, it is yours to wear,
The brothers, the boys, and little Freya Harmony-Rose all know,
Michael, you were always the show — now let the whole world go,

[Bridge]
He sat in waiting rooms and gave his seat away,
Held the band name like a promise every single day,
But a man who pours himself out endless needs a cup to fill,
The song inside him always knew it had a stage — it always will,

[Outro]
Michael, this is the album, this is the open door,
The world ranked you among the best — now show them so much more,
Your mum has always known it — what you carry, what you bring,
Born to hold the microphone, born to play, born to sing,
