[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface of the lake
But underneath, a current no one else could take
You read the room before a single word is said
You hold the weight of what's unspoken in your head
You carry other people's storms like they were yours
Then quietly rebuild yourself behind closed doors

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide
All those fathoms running deep inside

[Chorus]
Karen, you are written in the deep and in the flame
Every scar you carry quietly has always had a name
You don't have to earn the love that's already yours to keep
Karen, you were made for more than proving you're complete

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a vow you choose to hold
Not with perfect words but with a devotion quiet and bold
You give before you're asked, you show up, you remain
You soften what you carry so it doesn't look like pain
But somewhere in the giving, did you lose the asking part?
The answer you keep searching for was always in your heart

[PreChorus]
They see the grace, they don't see the cost
All the battles won before they're lost

[Chorus]
Karen, you are written in the deep and in the flame
Every scar you carry quietly has always had a name
You don't have to earn the love that's already yours to keep
Karen, you were made for more than proving you're complete

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves like lightning over everything unturned
Not restlessness but hunger for the wisdom you have earned
You've stood inside the ruins of the things that fell apart
And found a kind of clarity you couldn't find at the start
There's a compass that has never lied beneath your steady chest
It points you past the ordinary toward what serves you best

[PreChorus]
They see the strength, they don't see the years
All the courage sewn from doubt and fears

[Chorus]
Karen, you are written in the deep and in the flame
Every scar you carry quietly has always had a name
You don't have to earn the love that's already yours to keep
Karen, you were made for more than proving you're complete

[Verse 4]
A new moon rising over water, tender and awake
Something in the darkness softly shifting for your sake
The world needs what you carry in the marrow of your bones
The healing that you offer and the seeds that you have sown
You've been the quiet harbor for the ones who came undone
Now let the sky remind you — you are also worth the sun

[PreChorus]
You've been the light that other people found
Now let yourself be found, be held, be crowned

[Chorus]
Karen, you are written in the deep and in the flame
Every scar you carry quietly has always had a name
You don't have to earn the love that's already yours to keep
Karen, you were made for more than proving you're complete

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades
You are not who you became through loss — you're what that loss has raised
Every layer, every depth, every wall you learned to climb
Has been leading you to you, one faithful step at a time

[Outro]
So rest inside your becoming, let the night sky be your proof
Karen, you were always whole — the stars have always known the truth
