[Verse 1]
She carries the scales but the ocean runs deep,
A stillness on the surface, a current in her sleep,
She sees all sides of everything, the cost of that is real,
She holds the room together while she quietly kneels,
They see the grace, they miss the weight she bears alone,
The mountain in her backbone that she built to call her home

[PreChorus]
She was forged in quiet fire, shaped by what she chose to keep,
Every layer she's uncovered bought the ground beneath her feet

[Chorus]
Carmen, you are more than what they've come to know,
A depth that moves like water underneath the undertow,
Carmen, every scar you carry lit the way you've grown,
You don't need to prove your worth — it's written in your bones

[Verse 2]
She thinks in rivers, not in streams, she reads what isn't said,
She'd sooner hold the broken pieces than abandon them instead,
She loves like something ancient — wide, and patient, and true,
But she learned to guard the tenderest room inside of her, too,
She gives before she's asked, she heals before she names the wound,
And the world keeps taking shelter underneath her quiet bloom

[PreChorus]
She was never meant for shallow ground or borrowed, borrowed light,
She was written in the deep end of a long and sacred night

[Chorus]
Carmen, you are more than what they've come to know,
A depth that moves like water underneath the undertow,
Carmen, every scar you carry lit the way you've grown,
You don't need to prove your worth — it's written in your bones

[Verse 3]
She's stood between the hunger and the duty like a door,
Between the life she's built and everything she's reaching for,
There's a wildness she's been trained to keep folded in her chest,
A longing for horizons that refuses to rest,
She's touched the dark and come back with her hands still full of light,
She doesn't need permission now — she's earned her right

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote her carefully, with ink that never fades,
She's guided by an unseen hand through every turn she's made

[Chorus]
Carmen, you are more than what they've come to know,
A depth that moves like water underneath the undertow,
Carmen, every scar you carry lit the way you've grown,
You don't need to prove your worth — it's written in your bones

[Bridge]
Let the weight you've carried teach you what it means to stand,
You were never lost — you were always in the right hands,
What you've lived has made you something rare, and true, and whole,
The world needs what you carry, every quiet, sacred soul

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing you were always, always enough,
Carmen, you were built for this — the tender and the tough
