[Verse 1]
She weighs every word before it leaves her tongue,
A mind built like a scale since she was young,
Sees every side of everything, the gift and the cost,
Holds the whole room together while feeling half lost,
There's a lion in her presence, a tide in her chest,
A woman who gives everything and guards the rest

[PreChorus]
They see the balance, they don't see the war,
The weight she's carried quietly, the fire at her core

[Chorus]
Carol, you were written by the light between two worlds,
The calm on the surface, the depth where it swirls,
You don't have to hold it all to prove what you're worth,
The cosmos took its time the night it mapped your birth

[Verse 2]
She loves in careful gestures, in the things she remembers,
In showing up in April and still showing up in December,
The way she notices the details that everyone else skips,
Devotion sewn in silence, in steady fingertips,
She's chased a kind of perfect that was never hers to find,
But every effort she has offered is a masterpiece of mind

[PreChorus]
She's burned for something real and true and whole,
And that hunger isn't weakness — it's the compass of her soul

[Chorus]
Carol, you were written by the light between two worlds,
The calm on the surface, the depth where it swirls,
You don't have to hold it all to prove what you're worth,
The cosmos took its time the night it mapped your birth

[Verse 3]
There's a wound she keeps in quiet where the joy should freely live,
A fear that what she creates won't be enough to give,
But the fire that moves through her before the world can wake,
Is not restlessness — it's vision, it's a path she gets to make,
She's carried questions like a lantern through the dark between the stars,
And every door she's walked through made her more of who she are

[PreChorus]
The search itself has shaped her, every turn and every mile,
The seeking is the answer, and the journey is the style

[Chorus]
Carol, you were written by the light between two worlds,
The calm on the surface, the depth where it swirls,
You don't have to hold it all to prove what you're worth,
The cosmos took its time the night it mapped your birth

[Bridge]
Let the old scales rest, let the tide come in,
You are not the proving — you're the depth within,
Every contradiction was a doorway, not a flaw,
You were always whole — you just forgot what the stars saw

[Outro]
You were written carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
Held by something ancient in the choices that you've made,
You are guided, you are held, you are enough,
Carol, you always were
