[Verse 1]
Anton, you were born when the ram takes the lead,
A fire in your bones, a restless kind of need.
But underneath that spark there's water running deep,
A heart that feels the world before it falls asleep.

You carry other people's storms inside your chest,
You learned to read the room before you learned to rest.
Illinois cowboy with a soul that runs so wide,
The kind who holds the door and never runs to hide.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know you've wondered if you're strong enough to stand,
When the weight of loving others fills your open hands.

[Chorus]
But the stars wrote something steady in your bones,
A quiet kind of fire that turns a house into a home.
You don't have to prove your worth to feel it's real,
You were born already whole, already made of steel.
My lighthouse in the dark, you guide without a sound,
The universe keeps spinning, and it's glad you're still around.

[Verse 2]
You love the way the earth loves—slowly, true, and sure,
The kind of touch that lingers, patient and secure.
You won't give up on someone when the road gets rough,
You learned that loyal presence is sometimes enough.

But you've known the sting of feeling less than what you are,
A wound that taught you early you could be your own north star.
The ones who really see you know the gold you hold,
A tenderness that deepens as the seasons grow old.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know you've questioned if your heart could take the strain,
When you gave it all so freely and it came back touched with pain.

[Chorus]
But the stars wrote something steady in your bones,
A quiet kind of fire that turns a house into a home.
You don't have to prove your worth to feel it's real,
You were born already whole, already made of steel.
My lighthouse in the dark, you guide without a sound,
The universe keeps spinning, and it's glad you're still around.

[Verse 3]
Anton, there's a chapter waiting just around the bend,
Where all the walls come down and you let someone in.
You're learning now that partnership can help you grow,
That leaning on another doesn't make you low.

The moon was dark the night you came into this world,
Like something old was ending, something new unfurled.
You carry transformation like a second skin,
A phoenix kind of power that rises from within.

[Pre-Chorus]
And when the doubts come knocking in the middle of the night,
Remember you were built for this, you'll find your way to light.

[Chorus]
But the stars wrote something steady in your bones,
A quiet kind of fire that turns a house into a home.
You don't have to prove your worth to feel it's real,
You were born already whole, already made of steel.
My lighthouse in the dark, you guide without a sound,
The universe keeps spinning, and it's glad you're still around.

[Verse 4]
So trust the path you're walking even when it bends,
The hands that held you up before will hold you to the end.
Your work becomes your worship when you serve with care,
And everything you're building shows the love you bear.

The future's pulling gently toward a softer way,
Where you can set the armor down and simply stay.
Illinois cowboy, you were written in the sky,
A story worth the telling, a light that won't run dry.

[Pre-Chorus]
And the cosmos keeps a record of the battles that you've won,
You're walking toward a dawning, and the best is yet to come.

[Chorus]
'Cause the stars wrote something steady in your bones,
A quiet kind of fire that turns a house into a home.
You don't have to prove your worth to feel it's real,
You were born already whole, already made of steel.
My lighthouse in the dark, you guide without a sound,
The universe keeps spinning, and it's glad you're still around.

[Bridge]
Anton, let this be the song you carry through the years,
A reminder of your magic when you're lost inside your fears.
The planets were aligned the moment you took breath,
And they'll hold you close through every change, through every little death.

[Outro]
So rest your weary head now, let the night be still,
The stars have got you covered, and they always will.
You are the fire and the water, the beginning and the end,
My lighthouse on the shoreline, my protector and my friend.
