[Verse 1]
There's a fire that moves before the words can come,
A restless tide beneath a surface calm,
You read the room before the room knows why,
Feeling every current, every undertow and lie,
They see the stillness, they don't see the storm,
The depth of you was never meant to be the norm

[PreChorus]
You've carried worlds that no one else could hold,
And turned that weight to something quiet and gold

[Chorus]
This is for you, Karen, every hidden seam,
Every scar you sutured into something that could gleam,
You are the tide, the fire, and the evening star,
Karen, you are known and loved for all you are

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like water through a dreaming sky,
Reaching truths that logic couldn't justify,
You love like something ancient, wide, and true,
All or nothing — that's the only way you knew,
You've built your walls with hands that long to reach,
And held your heart like something others couldn't teach

[PreChorus]
The ones you healed will never know the cost,
Every piece you gave when you felt the most lost

[Chorus]
This is for you, Karen, every hidden seam,
Every scar you sutured into something that could gleam,
You are the tide, the fire, and the evening star,
Karen, you are known and loved for all you are

[Verse 3]
There's a radiance in you that doubt has tried to dim,
A light that kept on burning at the fraying rim,
You've wrestled angels, swallowed thunder whole,
And found a kind of stillness at the bottom of your soul,
The world was shaped by hands like yours that refused to break,
Every transformation real, every choice awake

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the right to finally rest,
You were always whole — you were always blessed

[Chorus]
This is for you, Karen, every hidden seam,
Every scar you sutured into something that could gleam,
You are the tide, the fire, and the evening star,
Karen, you are known and loved for all you are

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
Every contradiction part of every choice you made,
You were never too much — you were always enough,
The universe kept count of every time you chose love

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing, let the story land,
You were written in the stars before you took a stand,
Everything you are was always meant to be,
You are home, you are held, you are finally free
