[Verse 1]
You wear the world like armor made of gold
A steady heart that never breaks or bends
But there's an ocean running deep and old
Beneath the calm that everybody sees
You hold their secrets, carry all their pain
While your own storms stay hidden in the deep
The way you love is patient as the rain
That falls on earth when everything's asleep

[PreChorus]
They see the strength, they miss the tender parts
The way you guard what matters most inside
You've learned to build a fortress 'round your heart
But still you let the worthy souls inside

[Chorus]
Stephen, you're the anchor in the storm
The quiet power that keeps the world from breaking
Stephen, you were born to lead and warm
The hearts that need the love that you've been making
You don't need to prove you're worth the space you take
You're enough, you're enough, just the way you are awake

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like lightning through the dark
Finding truth where others only guess
You speak with weight, each word becomes a mark
That cuts through noise to what we need to hear
The way you build takes patience, brick by brick
Creating something lasting, something real
While others rush, you wait and think it thick
Until the foundation's strong enough to feel

[PreChorus]
They see the strength, they miss the tender parts
The way you guard what matters most inside
You've learned to build a fortress 'round your heart
But still you let the worthy souls inside

[Chorus]
Stephen, you're the anchor in the storm
The quiet power that keeps the world from breaking
Stephen, you were born to lead and warm
The hearts that need the love that you've been making
You don't need to prove you're worth the space you take
You're enough, you're enough, just the way you are awake

[Bridge]
The universe conspired to make you whole
A Taurus sun with depths that run like wine
Your Scorpio moon, it holds the ancient soul
That sees through masks to what lies underneath
Home is where you heal and where you grow
The past and future meeting in your hands

[Outro]
You carry light in ways the world can't see
A steady flame that burns eternally
The cosmos wrote your story carefully
You're right on time, you're right where you should be
