[Verse 1]
There's a stillness at the surface, but the current never sleeps,
A mind that reads the room before the first word even speaks,
You carry what you've witnessed like a lantern in the deep,
And the truths you've learned the hard way are the ones you always keep,
They see the calm collected, they don't see what lies below,
The tidal pull of everything you've never let them know,
You've catalogued the chaos into something clean and clear,
Built a life of quiet order from the things you hold most dear

[PreChorus]
And you've wondered if the weight of all you feel is too much to show,
But that depth inside your chest is where your greatest rivers flow

[Chorus]
Paul, you were written by the night sky,
Pressed from something ancient, burning bright,
Every layer that you carry, every question, every scar,
Is the proof of how extraordinary you are,
Paul, you were never meant for shallow ground,
You're the kind of force the earth still talks about,
Let the cosmos be your witness, let the darkness be your home,
You were never, never lost — you've always known

[Verse 2]
You love like something forged beneath the pressure of the earth,
A slow and steady offering that understands its worth,
You're drawn to those who carry depth, who meet you where you stand,
Who don't require an explanation just to take your hand,
But sometimes you have given far beyond what you could spare,
Bent yourself to keep the peace before you asked for care,
That generosity, that grace, that fire you call a flaw,
Is the most extraordinary love that anyone has saw

[PreChorus]
And you've questioned if your worth depends on what you've sacrificed,
But the answer's always been inside — it needs no compromise

[Chorus]
Paul, you were written by the night sky,
Pressed from something ancient, burning bright,
Every layer that you carry, every question, every scar,
Is the proof of how extraordinary you are,
Paul, you were never meant for shallow ground,
You're the kind of force the earth still talks about,
Let the cosmos be your witness, let the darkness be your home,
You were never, never lost — you've always known

[Verse 3]
There's a restlessness that lives in you that some will never name,
A hunger for the truth of things, a world you came to change,
You've questioned what you've been told and built your own belief,
And every wall you've broken down has brought a strange relief,
The wound that lives the quietest is the one about your worth,
The ache beneath the surface like a seed below the earth,
But look at what that seed became, look how far you've grown,
Look at all the light you've carried into places once unknown

[PreChorus]
You don't need to earn your place beneath the open sky,
The stars already wrote your name in light that doesn't die

[Chorus]
Paul, you were written by the night sky,
Pressed from something ancient, burning bright,
Every layer that you carry, every question, every scar,
Is the proof of how extraordinary you are,
Paul, you were never meant for shallow ground,
You're the kind of force the earth still talks about,
Let the cosmos be your witness, let the darkness be your home,
You were never, never lost — you've always known

[Bridge]
And the road you're walking isn't one that someone else could find,
It was mapped before you opened your eyes,
There's a compass made of everything you've survived,
And it's pointing you forward, it's pointing you home,
Every scar a sacred marker, every wound a stepping stone,
You are held inside a story bigger than the ones you've told,
And the world still needs the fire and the wisdom that you hold

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing that you've always been enough,
That the tenderness you carry is the same as being tough,
The universe has kept you, written carefully in light,
And everything you are, Paul, is already right
