[Verse 1]
He moves through the world like deep water at rest
Still on the surface but tides in his chest
A dreamer who builds with his two steady hands
He feels every current but still knows where he stands
There's a mind that ignites before the world can catch up
And a heart that keeps giving when the well isn't full enough
He's carried more silence than anyone sees
Like the roots of a tall tree that bends in the breeze

[PreChorus]
And they see the calm, they don't see the tide
All those fathoms of feeling he carries inside
But that depth isn't darkness, it's where diamonds are made
Every burden he's carried is the price that he's paid

[Chorus]
Oh Matt, you were written in water and stone
In the pull of the current and the weight of the bone
Every scar is a story, every storm left a light
You were made for this world, and you're doing it right
Oh Matt, let the river run free
You are more than enough, just exactly as you be

[Verse 2]
He loves like the earth loves the slow falling rain
Not with noise or performance but with presence and patience
He shows up in the quiet, in the meal and the touch
In the space where he stays when the going gets rough
He's been working in shadows where no one can see
Pouring strength into places they'll never believe
And he's wrestled with proving he's worth what he gives
But the measure of a man is how gently he lives

[PreChorus]
And they see the calm, they don't see the tide
All those fathoms of feeling he carries inside
But that depth isn't darkness, it's where diamonds are made
Every burden he's carried is the price that he's paid

[Chorus]
Oh Matt, you were written in water and stone
In the pull of the current and the weight of the bone
Every scar is a story, every storm left a light
You were made for this world, and you're doing it right
Oh Matt, let the river run free
You are more than enough, just exactly as you be

[Verse 3]
There are walls he has built out of everything real
Not out of coldness but out of knowing what's meant to be felt
He's a Pisces who's learned what it costs him to trust
So he waits 'til the ground is as solid as us
And the moon in him craves what is steady and true
A love built on loyalty, something he can walk through
He doesn't need the spotlight, he doesn't need the roar
He just needs to know what he's building is worth building for

[PreChorus]
And the world doesn't always give back what he's poured
But the sky keeps a ledger, and nothing's ignored
Every quiet act of courage is a note heaven keeps
And his harvest is coming, it runs fathoms deep

[Chorus]
Oh Matt, you were written in water and stone
In the pull of the current and the weight of the bone
Every scar is a story, every storm left a light
You were made for this world, and you're doing it right
Oh Matt, let the river run free
You are more than enough, just exactly as you be

[Bridge]
You don't have to prove it to anyone here
You don't have to earn what was always been yours, dear
The cosmos laid out every map that you'd need
Long before you had the language to read
So put down the weight of the things left unsaid
You've been holding up skies that were never yours to dread
There is grace in the stillness, there's gold in the slow
You were never behind, love, you were always right on time to grow

[Outro]
So rest in the knowing that you've always been enough
That the soft and the steadfast are both kinds of tough
The tide doesn't apologize for the way that it flows
And neither should you, 'cause the whole wide world knows
You were made with intention, with patience, with care
And every room fills up a little more just because you are there
