[Verse 1]
There's a current running under everything you show,
A depth that moves in silence, tides that only you can know
You speak in feeling first, in metaphor and light,
A mind that paints in colors long before it learns to write
They see the calm exterior, they don't see the tide,
All those worlds you carry, quietly tucked inside

[PreChorus]
You've held so much for others, worn it without a sound,
But everything you've given is the most sacred thing around

[Chorus]
Carrie, you were written in the water and the deep,
A soul that feels the universe in everything you keep
You don't have to earn the softness that was always yours to own,
Carrie, you were never, ever meant to feel alone

[Verse 2]
You've been the one who notices when no one else looks twice,
Who gives before you're asked and always pays a quiet price
There's something ancient in the way you love — slow, steady, true,
Like roots beneath the winter that know spring is breaking through
You've swallowed down the hard parts, held the burden in the dark,
But every wound you've carried left a lantern in your heart

[PreChorus]
The tension between freedom and the structure you have known,
Has been the forge that shaped the truest courage you have grown

[Chorus]
Carrie, you were written in the water and the deep,
A soul that feels the universe in everything you keep
You don't have to earn the softness that was always yours to own,
Carrie, you were never, ever meant to feel alone

[Verse 3]
You crave a love that doesn't flinch, that stays when things get real,
A hand that meets your honesty and isn't scared to feel
And yes, you've learned to question what you're worth in others' eyes,
But the compass always pointing home was never in disguise
Your purpose lives in how you heal, in every act of care,
In every room made warmer just because that you were there

[PreChorus]
The world was made a little more itself the day you came to be,
And every quiet gift you give moves farther than you'll see

[Chorus]
Carrie, you were written in the water and the deep,
A soul that feels the universe in everything you keep
You don't have to earn the softness that was always yours to own,
Carrie, you were never, ever meant to feel alone

[Bridge]
Let the current hold you now, you don't have to swim so hard,
The cosmos drew you carefully — not one deliberate scar
You are rooted, you are rising, you are more than you have named,
And the truest version of yourself was never once ashamed

[Outro]
Rest inside the tide, Carrie, let the deep restore,
You were whole before the world began to ask for more
