[Verse 1]
Born when April tipped into the quiet of night
A steady kind of patience underneath all that light
You take your time with things, you feel the weight of stone
But Patrick, you were never meant to carry it alone

[Verse 2]
There's a stillness in you most people never find
A careful kind of brilliance working deep in your mind
You speak when words are ready, not a moment too soon
And somewhere in the silence, you're still talking to the moon

[PreChorus]
You've learned to build your walls before you learned your name
But what you call protection, love could call the same

[Chorus]
Patrick, you are more than what you've had to hold
More than all the weight you carried, more than being bold
The life you're slowly building has a foundation true
And everything you've waited for is waiting here for you

[Verse 3]
You love like it costs something, like you know what it's worth
Like warmth is not a given, it's a thing you earn on earth
But the way you give your loyalty, quiet and complete
Is the kind of love that people spend their whole lives trying to meet

[Verse 4]
The path you're on is longer than the ones they show on maps
It moves through transformation, through the grief between the gaps
But Patrick, you were built for what the ordinary breaks
The deeper you are tested, the more solid you remake

[PreChorus]
You've learned to build your walls before you learned your name
But what you call protection, love could call the same

[Chorus]
Patrick, you are more than what you've had to hold
More than all the weight you carried, more than being bold
The life you're slowly building has a foundation true
And everything you've waited for is waiting here for you

[Bridge]
There will be a season when the holding finally breaks
When what you built in quiet finally proves what patience makes
And you will look around you at the life that you have grown
And know that being grounded was the bravest thing you've known

[Outro]
So go the way you go, Patrick — unhurried, sure, and clear
The things that last are built by hands like yours, year after year
