[Verse 1]
She carries oceans nobody sees, a tide that never shows
A gentle face, a guarded heart, and depths that no one knows
She feels the world before it speaks, she hears what isn't said
A light that does its quiet work from somewhere deep instead
The calm she wears is real enough, but underneath it all
She's built from every wave that rose and every time she'd fall

[PreChorus]
She's the storm that learned to whisper, the fire dressed in grace
A whole universe of feeling living right beneath the surface of her face

[Chorus]
Karen, you are not too much, you're everything you need to be
A soul that burns like summer gold and loves so endlessly
Karen, let the tides come in, you don't have to hold them back
The cosmos wrote you carefully, and nothing in you lacks

[Verse 2]
She moves like someone who has learned that gentleness is power
Who plants her roots in broken ground and blooms in the dark hour
Her mind is quick, it catches sparks before the tinder's dry
She'll talk you into wonder and she won't know how or why
She loves like conversation, like a laugh at half past two
The kind of love that doesn't need a stage to be true

[PreChorus]
She's been the one who holds the room while quietly carrying weight
A warmth that gives before it's asked and arrives before it's late

[Chorus]
Karen, you are not too much, you're everything you need to be
A soul that burns like summer gold and loves so endlessly
Karen, let the tides come in, you don't have to hold them back
The cosmos wrote you carefully, and nothing in you lacks

[Verse 3]
She's wrestled with belonging, with the ache of being unseen
Of standing at the edge of rooms not knowing what they mean
She's built walls not out of coldness but to keep the tender safe
The part of her that knows too much, that lives in sacred space
But every scar became a story, every wound became a root
And what once grew in darkness now bears undeniable fruit

[PreChorus]
She's learned to trust the inner flame that other people miss
The kind of knowing that arrives not by logic, but like this

[Chorus]
Karen, you are not too much, you're everything you need to be
A soul that burns like summer gold and loves so endlessly
Karen, let the tides come in, you don't have to hold them back
The cosmos wrote you carefully, and nothing in you lacks

[Verse 4]
Her path runs wide like open sky, through meaning she has chased
Through wisdom earned in quiet rooms and beauty she has traced
She doesn't need a throne to lead, she leads just by being there
Her presence shifts the temperature, she changes all the air
The world receives what she has built without knowing her name
But the stars above have always known exactly how she came

[PreChorus]
She is guided by a compass that was set before her birth
A quiet kind of sacred that was made to walk this earth

[Chorus]
Karen, you are not too much, you're everything you need to be
A soul that burns like summer gold and loves so endlessly
Karen, let the tides come in, you don't have to hold them back
The cosmos wrote you carefully, and nothing in you lacks

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to rest, to be, to stay
You were whole before the world could ask you to give yourself away
The deepest part of you already knows the way it ends
You are guided, you are held, you are home again

[Outro]
Let the light in, let the tide come through
Every star that's ever burned was burning just for you
You were never lost, you were always becoming
Karen, you are home, you are home, you are home
