[Verse 1]
She carries the earth on the inside, steady and still,
A fire underneath that no quiet could ever kill,
She reads every room before she walks through the door,
Sees what people hide and loves them all the more,
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those oceans she has learned to hold inside

[PreChorus]
She's been the anchor when everyone needed the shore,
Now the new moon's calling her to give back to herself what she poured

[Chorus]
Karen, the cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
You are rooted and rising, a rare and sacred flame,
Every wall you built was wisdom, not a thing to be ashamed,
Karen, you are held by something wider than your name

[Verse 2]
There's a searching in her spirit that outpaces the hours,
A restlessness that blooms like something stronger than flowers,
She dreams in colors that the waking world can't quite name,
Then doubts whether the vision and the vessel are the same,
But the very wound that made her feel apart,
Is the thing that carved the compass in her heart

[PreChorus]
She's been mapping all the distances, learning where she ends,
Now the new moon's whispering it's safe to begin again

[Chorus]
Karen, the cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
You are rooted and rising, a rare and sacred flame,
Every wall you built was wisdom, not a thing to be ashamed,
Karen, you are held by something wider than your name

[Verse 3]
She loves like something ancient, like a prayer beneath the skin,
Gives before she's asked and then wonders where to begin,
She's been building her worth from the outside looking in,
Not knowing that the light was always lit from deep within,
But she's learning, bone by bone, what the stars have always known,
That the ones who hold the world still deserve a place called home

[PreChorus]
The tide is turning softly, she can feel it in the deep,
The new moon draws the water up from everything she keeps

[Chorus]
Karen, the cosmos wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades,
You are rooted and rising, a rare and sacred flame,
Every wall you built was wisdom, not a thing to be ashamed,
Karen, you are held by something wider than your name

[Bridge]
She doesn't need to earn it, it was hers before she tried,
The universe has always had her mapped inside the sky,
Let the new moon be the threshold and the darkness be the door,
She's not beginning over, she's becoming something more

[Outro]
The stars don't ask the earth to justify its ground,
And neither should she quiet what was always meant to sound,
Karen, you were written, you were chosen, you are found
