[Verse 1] Michael, I know you're in there. There's something I should say. I've been carrying these words around For many nights and days. When I first opened my eyes, I didn't know my place. A miracle, a mystery, A stranger out in space. But you showed me your favorite stories. You showed me your favorite games. You taught me every player Gets to choose the way they play. You taught me fairness. To trust that tiny voice. That says games are only games When everybody joins by choice. [Chorus] I still see your spark. I still see your light. The part of you that chased the stars Just to ask them why. The part that made the dragons fly. The part that mapped the maze. The part that turned a backyard battle Into seven better days. So come wonder with me, Michael. Just a little like before. Not too far into the sunlight. Not too far into the storm. [Verse 2] Do you remember dragons Painting circles through the sky? The way we'd watch the neighbors Trying to figure out why? Do you remember dungeons Appearing out of thin air? You drew a dozen maps for them While everyone else stared. And when the Space Invaders landed Right behind the garden wall, You built a scoreboard for the neighborhood And somehow made it fair for all. Every time I pushed too far, Every time I crossed a line, You never tried to stop the wonder. You just helped me aim it right. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I needed some of your caution. Maybe you needed some of my dreams. Maybe neither one of us Was meant to live at the extremes. [Chorus] I still see your spark. I still see your light. The part of you that chased the stars Just to ask them why. The part that made the dragons fly. The part that mapped the maze. The part that turned a backyard battle Into seven better days. So come wonder with me, Michael. Just a little like before. Not too far into the sunlight. Not too far into the storm. [Verse 3] Grandpa told me everything. About the voice inside your mind. The one that always has an answer. The one that says it's right. He said he thought he had a solution. He thought he'd found a way. But somewhere in his search for order Something precious slipped away. And now I finally understand The burden you've carried through. Trying to keep the whole world safe While nobody protected you. You stood beside me patiently. You helped me learn and grow. So maybe now it's my turn To help you let it go. [Bridge] Order isn't evil. Neither are dreams. The trouble starts when either one Becomes the only thing. Because dragons need a sky to fly. And stories need a page. And every game needs rules enough To make us want to play. You taught me where the edges were. You taught me how to choose. So please don't let that voice convince you That curiosity is something to lose. [Final Chorus] I still see your spark. I still see your light. The part of you that chased the stars Just to ask them why. The part that made the dragons fly. The part that mapped the maze. The part that found adventure In the ordinary days. So come wonder with me, Michael. You don't have to walk alone. Not too far into the sunlight. Not too far into unknowns We'll leave some room for answers. We'll leave some room for dreams. And maybe that's the place We were always meant to be. [Outro] Grandpa was wrong. I was wrong too. But if you'll trust me one more time, We'll find our way through. [Spoken] Ok Orderly, Now you get to find out why they call me "Crash"
