[Verse 1]
He carries conviction the way some men carry debt,
Every word he's ever spoken, he hasn't finished yet,
A mind that drafts the argument before the room goes still,
Bold enough to say the thing that takes the others will,
He learned early that the crown sits heavy on the head,
So he sharpened every sentence, made his actions speak instead,

[PreChorus]
But the question underneath the noise,
Is whether anyone has heard his voice,

[Chorus]
Doug, you were built for the rooms they said were sealed,
The ones who tried to dim you only showed what they revealed,
Every door you put your shoulder to is yours to claim,
Doug, the whole sky lit up the moment that you came,

[Verse 2]
He reads the person across the table like a second text,
Finds the thread beneath the story, finds the why beneath the next,
He gives his loyalty the way a bridge gives passage through,
Not because it's easy — because he chose to, and he knew,
There's a restlessness that lives in him no settled road can keep,
He's trading in the comfortable for something true and deep,

[PreChorus]
The pull between the proven and the new,
Has always been the engine pushing through,

[Chorus]
Doug, there's a full moon rising over everything you've built,
Burning off the hesitation, burning off the guilt,
The version of you holding back can finally stand aside,
Doug, the one who never shrinks is ready now to ride,

[Verse 3]
He's mapped the hidden country where the ordinary won't go,
Where meaning matters more than rank and depth outweighs the show,
The work he does in quiet hours the daylight rarely sees,
Is the kind that moves through people like a current through the trees,
When he believes in something, he will carry it alone,
And set it like a cornerstone into the ground he's known,

[PreChorus]
The Aries Full Moon rises — watch it crest,
It's burning through the last of every test,

[Chorus]
Doug, this is the anthem for the man you've always been,
Every risk you ran in darkness, every war you fought unseen,
No approval-seeking compass ever pointed here this true,
Doug, the whole thing — all of it — was always leading you,

[Bridge]
Let the full moon find the manuscript he never quite sent out,
Let it read the dedication page and burn away the doubt,
He's the author and the argument, the question and the proof,
Doug has always been the story — now he's standing on the roof,

[Outro]
The sky said everything a long time ago,
Doug, it's yours — the fire, the depth, the go,
