[Verse 1]
Carla, you were born when the world was still cold,
But something inside you was ancient and bold,
You carry your ambitions like stones in your hand,
You build what you love on unshakeable land,
There's a fire in your chest that you keep mostly still,
A quiet kind of wanting, a disciplined will,
You don't need the applause to know what you're worth,
You've always understood the long weight of the earth.

[PreChorus]
But underneath the steady, there's a restless open sky,
A part of you that questions, that wonders and asks why,
You feel things like a current running deeper than the tide,
There's more to you than anyone has ever seen inside.

[Chorus]
Carla, the stars watched you carry it all,
The grace in your rising, the strength in your fall,
You were made for the places that ask something real,
And everything you've buried is beginning to heal,
You don't have to choose between your mind and your soul,
You were always the one who would make yourself whole.

[Verse 2]
You love like a friend first, you think before you leap,
You've given your heart only to those you could keep,
There's something about freedom that lives in the way you connect,
You offer the truth, and you ask for respect,
When others bring chaos you hold yourself straight,
You've learned that some feelings are better when they wait,
But Carla, the warmth that you've kept locked inside,
Is the very best thing you've been trying to hide.

[PreChorus]
There are nights you pull back from the ones that you need,
Afraid that your longing might show like a wound or a seed,
But the ones worth keeping have always stayed near,
Not because you were flawless — because you were real.

[Chorus]
Carla, the stars watched you carry it all,
The grace in your rising, the strength in your fall,
You were made for the places that ask something real,
And everything you've buried is beginning to heal,
You don't have to choose between your mind and your soul,
You were always the one who would make yourself whole.

[Verse 3]
There's a version of you that's still learning to trust,
That the things you've worked for weren't only because you must,
You've earned every quiet and difficult year,
And the life you imagined is finally near,
Something is shifting beneath all your plans,
A door that swings open when you loosen your hands,
You're walking toward work that means something and stays,
Not just the climb, but the light that it raises.

[PreChorus]
The deepest part of you knows what it came here to do,
Not the loudest in the room, but the truest coming through,
You're beginning to believe what you've kept out of reach,
That the wisdom you live with is the wisdom you teach.

[Chorus]
Carla, the stars watched you carry it all,
The grace in your rising, the strength in your fall,
You were made for the places that ask something real,
And everything you've buried is beginning to heal,
You don't have to choose between your mind and your soul,
You were always the one who would make yourself whole.

[Bridge]
And if you ever feel like the road goes nowhere,
Remember the weight that you've already dared to bear,
You've stood in the rubble and chosen to grow,
There are things you are becoming that you don't yet know,
But the pattern is clear to the ones who can see,
Carla, you were always becoming free.

[Outro]
So carry your boldness, your stillness, your care,
The questions that follow you into the air,
You were born with the kind of light that takes time,
But everything you're building is reaching its climb,
Carla, the stars didn't forget you,
They were always watching — they just had to let you.
