[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the calm you wear,
A tide that pulls at everything, a current running bare,
You feel the room before you speak, you read between the lines,
You've held so many people up while quietly tending to your signs,
The shell was never weakness — it was sanctuary built,
A home you made from moonlight and from everything you've felt,

[PreChorus]
You've carried more in silence than they'll ever know,
But every weight you've lifted, love, has helped you grow,

[Chorus]
Let the stars speak your name, Carey,
Let the tide carry you home,
You are more than what you've given,
You were never meant to carry it alone,

[Verse 2]
You love the way a conversation turns to gold,
With warmth behind your laughter and a story to be told,
Your mind moves fast and certain, full of fire, full of wit,
But late at night you wonder if you've ever truly fit,
That ache of almost-belonging is a wound that hides a door,
To the life you're meant to build on ground that's solid to the core,

[PreChorus]
The roots beneath your restlessness run deeper than you've known,
Every scar became a doorway, every loss became a stone,

[Chorus]
Let the stars speak your name, Carey,
Let the tide carry you home,
You are more than what you've given,
You were never meant to carry it alone,

[Verse 3]
The way you love is quiet and it doesn't ask for proof,
You'd give the whole of everything from underneath this roof,
But you deserve the kind of love you so freely tend to give,
Not the scraps left at the edges but the whole wide way to live,
A healing wind is coming and it knows just where you stand,
It will find you in your stillness and it's ready for your hand,

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn your place beneath the open sky,
The cosmos wrote you carefully — no question, no goodbye,

[Chorus]
Let the stars speak your name, Carey,
Let the tide carry you home,
You are more than what you've given,
You were never meant to carry it alone,

[Bridge]
What you buried in the deep has turned to something true,
The world you tried to fix so long is also fixing you,
You were written in the long light of a summer-turning tide,
There is nothing left to prove now — let the stars decide,

[Outro]
Let the tide carry you home, Carey,
Let the light find what the dark has known,
You are enough, exactly as you are,
You were always, always home,
