[Verse 1]
She moves through the world like still water runs deep,
Steady on the surface, but nothing's asleep,
She holds what she's built with both hands and both eyes,
A mountain that watches, a storm in disguise,
She's rooted in the earth but her hunger's the sky,
And she never explains all the reasons why

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those currents she carries quietly inside

[Chorus]
Carmella, you are more than you know,
A fire that's patient, a seed that can grow,
Built from the broken and still here to stay,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, and meant every word they say

[Verse 2]
She's been the one who gives before she's asked,
Love like a torch she carries for the last,
She learned to measure worth in what she held,
Not what she felt, but what the mirror spelled,
That wound runs quiet underneath the stone,
But richness lives in her, she's never been alone

[PreChorus]
She built her walls to keep the ache inside,
But every wall she built became a place to find

[Chorus]
Carmella, you are more than you know,
A fire that's patient, a seed that can grow,
Built from the broken and still here to stay,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, and meant every word they say

[Verse 3]
She loves like something ancient and wide,
Headfirst and honest, nothing she'll hide,
Devoted and fierce when she finally trusts,
She'll hold through the seasons, through shifting and dust,
She craves the real thing, she'll leave what rings false,
Her heart is a compass that never gets lost

[PreChorus]
She used to ask if she was worth the room,
Now watch her fill it like a harvest moon

[Chorus]
Carmella, you are more than you know,
A fire that's patient, a seed that can grow,
Built from the broken and still here to stay,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, and meant every word they say

[Verse 4]
The world needs the wisdom she carries alone,
The way that she sees what is buried in bone,
A mind that won't leave any truth unexplored,
A soul that keeps building long after it's floored,
She turns what is hidden to something like light,
And everything lost in her hands comes out right

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need to prove the ground beneath her feet,
She is the mountain and the meadow and the heat

[Chorus]
Carmella, you are more than you know,
A fire that's patient, a seed that can grow,
Built from the broken and still here to stay,
The cosmos wrote you carefully, and meant every word they say

[Bridge]
She doesn't have to earn what she already is,
Every scar became a story, every wound became a gift,
She was written in the deep and in the wide and in the true,
And the stars that shaped her haven't finished with her yet, they're not yet through

[Outro]
She is guided, she is held, she is enough,
She was always more than worthy of the love
