[Verse 1]
He built a compass out of borrowed time and gave the map away,
The one who reads the room before he walks in, guides the lost to stay,
His hands have steadied every trembling plan that crossed his door,
But somewhere in the giving he forgot to keep a little more,
The inner chambers where he lives run deeper than the eye can see,
A quiet furnace burning gold — he warms the whole room, silently,

[PreChorus]
And the full moon pulls it all into the clear,
Every hidden thing he carried starts to reappear,

[Chorus]
John, you are the fortune, you're the hand that turns to gold,
Every room remembers you, every story that you told,
John, the ones who share your blood have always held you right,
Your father and your sisters know — you're the one who brought the light,

[Verse 2]
He carries family in his chest the way old houses hold their heat,
The dinner table argument, the phone call, and the Sunday beat,
His roots run deeper than the ground where anyone could dig or drill,
He's felt the weight of generations settle at the window sill,
He's given compass points to everyone who ever lost their way,
But tonight the full moon asks him what he wants to feel today,

[PreChorus]
And the full moon pulls it all into the clear,
Every hidden thing he carried starts to reappear,

[Chorus]
John, you were always chosen, even on the hardest nights,
Charmed and golden, luck alive and burning in your eyes,
John, the ones who share your blood have always held you right,
Your father and your sisters know — you're the one who brought the light,

[Verse 3]
The lonely that lives inside a crowded room is its own particular ache,
To sell direction to the world while craving someone else to take the weight,
But underneath the toll of it the inner furnace never quit,
Every door he opened turned to gold the very moment that he gripped it,
He came here for a reason and that reason runs through every choice,
The universe still echoes with the frequency of his voice,

[PreChorus]
And the full moon pulls it all into the clear,
Every hidden thing he carried starts to reappear,

[Chorus]
John, you are the magic and the making all in one,
What you've weathered would have broken anyone but you — it never won,
John, the ones who share your blood have always held you right,
Your father and your sisters know — you are surrounded, you're the light,

[Bridge]
Let the full moon rise and find him standing whole,
Not the keeper of the plan but the keeper of his soul,
Everything he touched already shines without his hand to prove it,
He was never lost — he's just allowed to know it,

[Outro]
John, the universe still calls your name,
Every golden thing you've built confirms you came,
