[Verse 1]
He came in running, arrow already mid-flight,
A mind full of questions and both eyes fixed on what's right,
The kind of kid who reads the manual and then rewrites it clean,
Doing the work in the quiet, sharpest tool that you've seen,
He finds his purpose in the fixing, in the doing, in the care,
The one who shows up every time because he knows you'll need him there,

[PreChorus]
And underneath the steady hands, a fire at the core,
A boy who always gave his best and then went back for more,

[Chorus]
Cole, every answer that you chased was yours to find,
Cole, you were built to run ahead and leave the doubt behind,
The horizon keeps on moving, and so do you,
Cole, you were always meant to break into something new,

[Verse 2]
He keeps his loyalty like a ledger, every line accounted for,
Slow to open up completely, but once he does — it's to the core,
Not the kind to scatter feelings like confetti in the street,
He hands his trust like it was forged, solid, something you can keep,
His heart runs deep where no one's looking, steady as a loaded shelf,
The ones he loves don't have to guess — they feel it for themselves,

[PreChorus]
There's a tension in the wanting, in the reaching and the wait,
Between the leap of what could happen and the discipline to be great,

[Chorus]
Cole, the pull between the dream and where you stand,
Cole, becomes the very tension that makes you understand,
You're not built for easy answers or a well-worn groove,
Cole, you're the one who maps the road that others didn't choose,

[Verse 3]
There's a restlessness that sparks in him before the world has caught,
An instinct for what's coming next, a vision others haven't thought,
He's wired for a different path than any blueprint on the wall,
Not the kind who asks permission — just the kind who hears the call,
His legacy won't look like anyone who came before,
He'll rebuild the whole foundation, lay a better floor,

[PreChorus]
The world keeps telling him to slow, to fit, to just comply,
But every limit ever named became a reason he'd ask why,

[Chorus]
Cole, the uncharted trail was always yours to blaze,
Cole, what looks like deviation is just your own phase,
You're not moving out of order — you were never out of line,
Cole, every unexpected turn is part of your design,

[Verse 4]
He carries something for his people deep inside the chest,
A fierce and quiet guardianship — he gives what he thinks best,
He'll tear apart the broken things to put them back together right,
He's the one who holds the home together in the dead of night,
And still he lifts his eyes to questions wider than the room,
A seeker pulling meaning out of ordinary noon,

[PreChorus]
The stars that wrote his story didn't whisper, didn't hide,
They blazed the whole thing into him and let him carry it inside,

[Chorus]
Cole, every question that you carried was a key,
Cole, the searching and the striving set the whole thing free,
You are the archer and the arrow and the open air,
Cole, your stars have always known exactly who is there,

[Bridge]
When the voice inside went quiet and the road turned back on itself,
When he set his biggest questions on the highest, hardest shelf,
He didn't stop — he kept the compass turning toward the true,
Every doubt he walked straight through became the proof of what he knew,

[Outro]
Cole, your story isn't finished — it's just hitting stride,
Every light you ever chased was burning from the inside,
