[Verse 1]
She reads the room before a word is spoken aloud,
Feels every current running under the crowd,
Sees what's unspoken, hears what's not said,
Carries whole oceans inside of her head,
They see the stillness, they don't see the tide,
The depths she navigates alone inside

[PreChorus]
She's built from water and from ancient bone,
A world so full, she's learned to hold it alone

[Chorus]
Karen, you are more than what you've carried,
More than every wound that left you wearied,
Written in the dark and born to shine,
Every scar a seal, every star a sign

[Verse 2]
She loves like something honest and wide,
Needs room to breathe but never leaves your side,
Gives before she's asked, thinks before she speaks,
Finds the hidden truth in what everyone seeks,
The part that's tender lives beside the strong,
She's known since the beginning where she belongs

[PreChorus]
The same hands that carry everyone else's weight,
Deserve to rest, deserve to let love in the gate

[Chorus]
Karen, you are more than what you've carried,
More than every wound that left you wearied,
Written in the dark and born to shine,
Every scar a seal, every star a sign

[Verse 3]
She questions if her worth is something she must earn,
If she does enough, if she gives enough in return,
But the world she holds together with her quiet hands,
Can't be measured out in favors or demands,
She's a blueprint for a life lived all the way through,
The kind of rare the universe intended to

[PreChorus]
There's a compass in her chest that never lies,
It was placed there long before she opened her eyes

[Chorus]
Karen, you are more than what you've carried,
More than every wound that left you wearied,
Written in the dark and born to shine,
Every scar a seal, every star a sign

[Bridge]
The night that made you did not make you small,
It made you someone who can hold it all,
You don't need to prove the light you bring,
You were already whole at the beginning

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing, let the current go,
You were never lost, you were always whole,
Karen, the sky remembers what it wrote in you,
And every word it said about you still is true
