[Verse 1]
She carries the mountain inside her chest,
Steady and sure while she gives her best,
A mind like bedrock, a will like stone,
Building her world from the ground she's known,
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those currents running deep inside

[PreChorus]
But the fire in her blood won't be contained,
Every scar she carries is a medal, not a stain

[Chorus]
Carmel, you are more than they can see,
Written in the stars so carefully,
The earth holds your roots, the sky holds your name,
And nothing about you needs to change

[Verse 2]
She loves like something ancient and wide,
A loyal devotion she keeps tucked inside,
She's dreamed of a love that could set her free,
Equal and honest and wild as the sea,
And when the world went blurry and the visions turned grey,
That longing for beauty still guided her way

[PreChorus]
She's built herself slowly, with patience and care,
A quiet authority, a gift beyond rare

[Chorus]
Carmel, you are more than they can see,
Written in the stars so carefully,
The earth holds your roots, the sky holds your name,
And nothing about you needs to change

[Verse 3]
She's walked through the questions, the long winding roads,
Carried her wisdom like lanterns through cold,
There were days she felt strange in the circles she kept,
Like a song they were playing but nobody heard yet,
That ache of belonging, that hunger for truth,
Was always the compass, was always the proof

[PreChorus]
She was never behind, she was never too late,
She was always exactly the soul she was made to be, great

[Chorus]
Carmel, you are more than they can see,
Written in the stars so carefully,
The earth holds your roots, the sky holds your name,
And nothing about you needs to change

[Bridge]
You don't have to be flawless to be worthy of rest,
You've already proven you're doing your best,
Let the mountain be gentle, let the fire burn slow,
You are already everything you need to know

[Outro]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades,
Carmel, you were always enough, in all your quiet ways
