[Verse 1]
He holds the world together with his careful hands,
Counts every crack in the ceiling, makes his quiet plans,
The surface reads like order, clean and pressed and sure,
But underneath the stillness runs an ocean to the core,
He feels everything that passes like a tide beneath the floor,
What looks like calm is current — there's always so much more

[PreChorus]
They see the structure, not the storm he weathers every night,
They see the steady, never know the cost of holding tight

[Chorus]
Michael, you were written in the deep and patient sea,
Every contradiction is the fullness of your key,
The mind that maps the details and the soul that drowns in tides —
That's not a contradiction, that's where something sacred hides

[Verse 2]
There's a wound where wonder used to play without a care,
A boy who made his best work, then was told it wasn't there,
So he learned to earn his place by doing, proving, giving more,
Never quite convinced his presence was enough before,
But every wall he built around his worth became a gate —
The kind that only opens from the inside, not too late

[PreChorus]
The world needs what he carries in that quiet guarded chest,
Not the proof of what he's done, but the truth of who he is best

[Chorus]
Michael, you were written in the deep and patient sea,
Every contradiction is the fullness of your key,
The mind that maps the details and the soul that drowns in tides —
That's not a contradiction, that's where something sacred hides

[Bridge]
He loves like something ancient, like a root beneath the stone,
Like a hand that's always reaching so that no one feels alone,
The cosmos drafted every line of him with careful intent —
He doesn't have to earn his worth, he only has to be present

[Outro]
You are grounded, you are boundless, you are whole,
The tide and the terra firma of your soul,
What the stars arranged in you was never meant to hide —
Michael, you were always enough, exactly as you are inside
