[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the way you meet the world head-on,
A warmth that fills the room before the words are gone,
You carry everyone's weight like it's second nature to give,
But somewhere in the giving, you forget how to live,
The ocean underneath you runs deeper than they know,
A tide that never stills, even when you don't let it show,

[PreChorus]
You've been the steady hand when everything was frayed,
Building something beautiful from every choice you've made,

[Chorus]
CarrieAnn, let the stars speak your name tonight,
You were written in the sky with particular care and light,
Every wave, every flame, every fracture, every seam,
CarrieAnn, you are more than what they've seen,

[Verse 2]
You think in feeling first, then search the words to say,
A mind like running water, flowing its own way,
You've known what it is to speak and not be heard,
To pour your whole heart into a misread word,
But your voice holds something honest that the quiet can't contain,
The kind of truth that lingers long after the refrain,

[PreChorus]
You've learned to wear composure like a second skin,
But there's a lionhearted woman roaring deep within,

[Chorus]
CarrieAnn, let the stars speak your name tonight,
You were written in the sky with particular care and light,
Every wave, every flame, every fracture, every seam,
CarrieAnn, you are more than what they've seen,

[Verse 3]
You love like something deliberate and rare,
In the quiet acts of service, in the details that you bear,
You notice what goes unnoticed, you remember what matters most,
You're the kind of love that anchors, not the kind that's just a ghost,
You've longed for something real enough to hold without a doubt,
And everything you've ever built from love has shown the way out,

[PreChorus]
The wound of feeling lost inside yourself will find its cure,
Not in proving you belong, but knowing that you do for sure,

[Chorus]
CarrieAnn, let the stars speak your name tonight,
You were written in the sky with particular care and light,
Every wave, every flame, every fracture, every seam,
CarrieAnn, you are more than what they've seen,

[Verse 4]
You've carried contradictions like a compass in each hand,
The need to be untethered and the need to understand,
The mountain in your bearing and the moonrise in your chest,
The dreamer and the builder, you've never let either rest,
Now something bold is moving in the season that's to come,
A wind that emboldens even what the years have left undone,

[PreChorus]
You were never just becoming, you were always fully here,
The cosmos wrote you carefully — let that truth ring clear,

[Chorus]
CarrieAnn, let the stars speak your name tonight,
You were written in the sky with particular care and light,
Every wave, every flame, every fracture, every seam,
CarrieAnn, you are more than what they've seen,

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn what was already given at your birth,
You are not the sum of your doubts but the depth of your worth,
Every scar became a root system reaching underground,
You are held by something ancient, you are found,

[Outro]
Let the night say what the daylight never could,
You were always exactly enough, and exactly as you should,
