[Verse 1]
There's a mind that never settles, always chasing the next light,
A thousand thoughts like birds in flight before the edge of night,
You carry conversations in your bones like second skin,
A gift for finding words that reach exactly where you've been,
But underneath the wit, beneath the easy, open smile,
There's an ocean you've been swimming through for quite a while,
You feel the pull of home and depth the way the tide feels stone,
A tenderness you guard so well when you're completely alone

[PreChorus]
They see the surface where you shimmer and you shine,
They don't see the current running deep beneath the line

[Chorus]
But Forrest, you are written in the water and the wind,
In the questions without answers and the places you have been,
You are more than what they notice, more than what they've come to know,
You are rooted in the mystery of everything below,
Forrest, let the stars decide what they already see,
That the world was made a little more itself when you came to be

[Verse 2]
You've given more than most would know to keep the peace in place,
You've bent yourself to fit the room and left without a trace,
That ache of wondering whether you are doing enough,
Of trying twice as hard just to convince yourself you're not a bluff,
But every bridge you've built from scratch, each wall you climbed alone,
Was not a proof of failure, it was how your strength was shown,
You've walked through rooms of smoke and mirrors, searched for something true,
And every time you found it, love, that something was in you

[PreChorus]
They see the calm you bring to chaos, steady, clear, and bright,
They don't see how much it cost you to remain that light

[Chorus]
But Forrest, you are written in the water and the wind,
In the questions without answers and the places you have been,
You are more than what they notice, more than what they've come to know,
You are rooted in the mystery of everything below,
Forrest, let the stars decide what they already see,
That the world was made a little more itself when you came to be

[Verse 3]
You love like an open window in the late hours of June,
Like a story told by firelight under a Cancer moon,
You need a love that meets your mind before it finds your heart,
A thread of honest conversation woven from the start,
There's a compass in your chest that points to something wide and true,
A calling written long before the world got hold of you,
To bring a kind of clarity that others rarely find,
To leave a room a little warmer, wiser than before your time

[PreChorus]
The universe was careful when it drafted every part,
Of the courage in your motion and the ocean in your heart

[Chorus]
And Forrest, you are written in the water and the wind,
In the questions without answers and the places you have been,
You are more than what they notice, more than what they've come to know,
You are rooted in the mystery of everything below,
Forrest, let the stars decide what they already see,
That the world was made a little more itself when you came to be

[Bridge]
You don't need to earn your place inside this life you're living,
You don't need to keep on proving through the constant act of giving,
The wound that made you careful made you capable of seeing,
All the layered depth of living and the beauty just of being,
Rest inside the truth of who you are without apology,
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ancient poetry

[Outro]
You are written in the water, you are held inside the wind,
You are every question answered every time you let love in,
There is nothing left to earn now, there is nowhere left to prove,
The stars have always known exactly what they made in you
