[Verse 1]
You carry the fire that moves before doubt
A heart wrapped in kindness, a voice ringing out
They see your bright confidence, steady and true
But miss all the oceans of feeling in you
There's a warrior's courage beneath gentle care
And wisdom that flows from the storms you've weathered there

[Pre-Chorus]
You've learned how to give while protecting your soul
To lead with your heart but stay beautifully whole

[Chorus]
Gary, you're the calm in the thunder
Gary, you're the bridge over water
Every scar became sacred, every wound became art
You don't need to be perfect, just present at heart
Gary, let the universe hold you
Like you've been holding everyone else

[Verse 2]
Your mind is electric, it dances ahead
With ideas like lightning and thoughts left unsaid
You feel everything deeply but keep it contained
A guardian of others while quietly healing your pain
There's magic in how you make everyone seen
While standing apart like you're living between

[Pre-Chorus]
You've built something golden from pieces of old
A story worth reading that's still being told

[Chorus]
Gary, you're the calm in the thunder
Gary, you're the bridge over water
Every scar became sacred, every wound became art
You don't need to be perfect, just present at heart
Gary, let the universe hold you
Like you've been holding everyone else

[Verse 3]
The world needs the balance you carry inside
Your power runs deeper than ego or pride
You love like an anchor, steady and strong
Creating a haven where souls can belong
The cosmos wrote you with purpose and grace
A healer, a builder, finding your place

[Pre-Chorus]
You're worthy of rest and deserving of care
The love that you give is already there

[Chorus]
Gary, you're the calm in the thunder
Gary, you're the bridge over water
Every scar became sacred, every wound became art
You don't need to be perfect, just present at heart
Gary, let the universe hold you
Like you've been holding everyone else

[Bridge]
There's a compass inside pointing home to your truth
Beyond all the roles and the things you pursue
You are guided, you are held, you are more than enough
Let go of the proving, surrender to love

[Outro]
The stars saw you coming and cleared out a space
For all that you are and the light in your face
You're exactly who's needed, exactly as planned
Trust the quiet voice saying you understand
