[Verse 1]
Matthew, you carry a quiet kind of flame,
A heart that loves deeply but guards its own name.
You feel for the world in ways most won't see,
The water runs still but it runs wild and free.
You give without asking, you heal without sound,
Your strength lives in silence, your roots touch the ground.

[PreChorus]
And when the doubt comes knocking at your door,
Remember what you've always carried before.

[Chorus]
You were built for the distance, not the sprint,
Every scar on your spirit left a hint.
The universe wrote your name in the sky,
Matthew, you were never meant to just get by.

[Verse 2]
You love like a shelter when storms start to roll,
With patience that reaches the depths of the soul.
But you hold yourself back from the praise that you earn,
There's a lesson in worth that you're still here to learn.
The ones who deserve you will meet you halfway,
They'll see all the beauty you hide every day.

[PreChorus]
And when the doubt comes knocking at your door,
Remember what you've always carried before.

[Chorus]
You were built for the distance, not the sprint,
Every scar on your spirit left a hint.
The universe wrote your name in the sky,
Matthew, you were never meant to just get by.

[Verse 3]
Your purpose is calling from somewhere inside,
A mission you've felt but you've tried to hide.
Stop waiting for proof that you're walking the right way,
The stars have already confirmed it, today.
Your vision runs deeper than reason can show,
Trust what your instincts have always known.

[PreChorus]
And when the doubt comes knocking at your door,
Remember what you've always carried before.

[Chorus]
You were built for the distance, not the sprint,
Every scar on your spirit left a hint.
The universe wrote your name in the sky,
Matthew, you were never meant to just get by.

[Bridge]
You don't need permission to take up the space,
The world needs the gift of your singular grace.
Let go of the versions of you that feel small,
You've been ready for this, yeah, you've had it all along.

[Outro]
Matthew, keep walking, the path knows your feet,
The heavens are holding you, whole and complete.
