[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the morning that nobody sees,
A quiet kind of wisdom moving soft as the breeze,
You carry whole horizons in the back of your mind,
Truth-teller, deep feeler, one of a kind,
The world sees the warmth but not what it costs,
All those tides you've navigated, none of them lost,

[PreChorus]
You've held yourself together through what others couldn't hold,
Every crack you've carried became part of something whole,

[Chorus]
Karen, you were written in a language made of light,
A soul that burns the deepest in the middle of the night,
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
Karen, you were always more than enough — complete,

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, slow-built and true,
Like a promise made in winter that blooms right on through,
You've wanted to be seen the way you see everyone else,
Put the whole world on your shoulders, put yourself on a shelf,
But the devotion that you carry, that quiet steady flame —
That's not a wound to heal from, that's the heart of your name,

[PreChorus]
You've walked through transformation more than once, more than twice,
And come back carrying something that can't be given a price,

[Chorus]
Karen, you were written in a language made of light,
A soul that burns the deepest in the middle of the night,
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
Karen, you were always more than enough — complete,

[Verse 3]
There's a mind in you that chases what the small hours know,
Digging past the surface where the real meanings go,
You've felt the pull between belonging and being free,
Between the life that's safe and who you're meant to be,
That tension wasn't breaking you — it was building you wide,
A river carving canyons from the strength of its tide,

[PreChorus]
You've earned a kind of knowing that no schoolroom can teach,
A quiet inner compass always just within reach,

[Chorus]
Karen, you were written in a language made of light,
A soul that burns the deepest in the middle of the night,
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
Karen, you were always more than enough — complete,

[Verse 4]
You worked when no one watched you and you gave without a receipt,
Built something out of nothing on a long and winding street,
The recognition that felt distant was already there,
In the lives you quietly altered, in the burdens that you'd bear,
You are not behind — you've been becoming all along,
Every silence held a verse in a larger, older song,

[PreChorus]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades,
And everything you've carried was preparing you for grace,

[Chorus]
Karen, you were written in a language made of light,
A soul that burns the deepest in the middle of the night,
You don't have to earn the ground beneath your feet,
Karen, you were always more than enough — complete,

[Bridge]
Let the arrow finally rest, you've flown so far and long,
What you are in the quiet is where you are most strong,
The universe has held your name since long before your birth,
There's nothing left to prove — you've always known your worth,

[Outro]
The stars don't ask the moon to shine a different way,
And everything you are was worth the making, every day,
Karen, you were always home — you just forgot to stay,
