[Verse 1]
He moves through the world with a measured pace,
Patient and solid, he holds his space,
There's a stillness in him that runs bone-deep,
A quiet like roots finding water beneath,
He sees what others walk right past,
The kind of mind that's built to last,
But underneath the calm he keeps so well,
There's a whole universe he doesn't tell,

[PreChorus]
He's worked so hard to earn his place,
Carried the weight with a steady face,
But that weight was never his debt to pay,
The ground beneath him loved him anyway,

[Chorus]
Cooper, you were written in the ancient stone,
Born to build a world that's yours alone,
Every scar you carry is a map back home,
Cooper, you were never meant to prove your worth,
The cosmos measured you before your birth,
And everything they found was more than enough,

[Verse 2]
He thinks in textures, colors, sounds,
Ideas that move like underground,
And when a thought takes hold it grips like earth,
He doesn't speak until he knows its worth,
His mind can strike like a sudden spark,
Quick and fearless in the dark,
But the bravest thing he's ever done,
Is stay soft in the places that come undone,

[PreChorus]
He's searched the horizon for something sure,
Some proof that who he is has worth and more,
But the horizon was only showing him,
The light that always burned from within,

[Chorus]
Cooper, you were written in the ancient stone,
Born to build a world that's yours alone,
Every scar you carry is a map back home,
Cooper, you were never meant to prove your worth,
The cosmos measured you before your birth,
And everything they found was more than enough,

[Verse 3]
He loves like something slow and true,
Like the tide that comes regardless of what you do,
He needs to touch the real, to taste the solid,
To know that what he holds won't be demolished,
He's dreamed of causes larger than himself,
Of building something left on the highest shelf,
And the shadows that he wrestles late at night,
Are just the depth of someone born for light,

[PreChorus]
He carries what nobody sees him hold,
A heart of fire wrapped in iron and gold,
And every time he's doubted if he's enough,
He still showed up, and that has always been enough,

[Chorus]
Cooper, you were written in the ancient stone,
Born to build a world that's yours alone,
Every scar you carry is a map back home,
Cooper, you were never meant to prove your worth,
The cosmos measured you before your birth,
And everything they found was more than enough,

[Bridge]
There are mountains that move in the space of a breath,
And you've moved a few of your own,
What looked like the weight of the world on your chest,
Was just the strength that you've grown,
The wide-open sky in the place you call soul,
Has always known where you belong,
You don't have to be finished to already be whole,
You were whole here all along,

[Outro]
So rest in it now, let the current just be,
The earth under you holds your history,
Every road that you've walked and every doubt you've known,
Was just the long way back to yourself,
You're already home,
