[Verse 1]
There's a stillness in the way you hold your ground,
Like the earth itself before it makes a sound,
You move with purpose, measured, slow, and sure,
But underneath there's oceans to the core,
They see the calm, they never see the tide,
All those rivers rushing deep inside,
A mind that moves before the world can catch,
A fire that lights before the others match

[PreChorus]
You carry more than anyone can tell,
A whole universe you've learned to keep so well,
But every hidden thing in you is gold,
Every silent chapter wants to be told

[Chorus]
This is for Demetri, burning bright and true,
The cosmos wrote the night around someone just like you,
Built from roots and fire, from depth and open sky,
A soul that was assembled to be seen, not just to get by,
Demetri, every scar you've worn is proof,
That something irreplaceable is living in the truth of you

[Verse 2]
You love like you've already counted the cost,
Diving headfirst for something not yet lost,
Honest with your heart before the words arrive,
Every time you fall you choose to re-ignite,
You've felt the sting of trust when it was misplaced,
Stood in rooms where you couldn't find your face,
But what they called too much was just too real,
The depth they couldn't hold was yours to feel

[PreChorus]
You've walked the edges others won't explore,
Sat with the silence knocking at your door,
That restlessness inside you isn't wrong,
It's the sound of someone built to carry something strong

[Chorus]
This is for Demetri, burning bright and true,
The cosmos wrote the night around someone just like you,
Built from roots and fire, from depth and open sky,
A soul that was assembled to be seen, not just to get by,
Demetri, every scar you've worn is proof,
That something irreplaceable is living in the truth of you

[Verse 3]
There's a vision in you wider than the now,
You're asking all the questions, learning how,
Not just where to go but what the going means,
Tearing through the surface of the things unseen,
The world you want to build is not a dream,
It's the blueprint of a soul that runs upstream,
You've carried shadows quietly in the night,
And turned each one of them into a light

[PreChorus]
You don't need permission to become,
Everything you've been since you were young,
The map was written in you from the start,
A compass pointing home inside your heart

[Chorus]
This is for Demetri, burning bright and true,
The cosmos wrote the night around someone just like you,
Built from roots and fire, from depth and open sky,
A soul that was assembled to be seen, not just to get by,
Demetri, every scar you've worn is proof,
That something irreplaceable is living in the truth of you

[Bridge]
You don't have to prove it anymore,
You don't have to stand outside your own door,
The tides inside you are not something to tame,
They're the reason that you burn with such a different kind of flame,
Let the roots hold you, let the sky be wide,
Let the whole of who you are come alive

[Outro]
The stars don't waste their light on ordinary things,
They found you, they kept you, they knew what you would bring,
So rest in it now, let the knowing settle through,
The universe has always been in love with you
