[Verse 1]
She carries oceans underneath a still and quiet face,
A mind that speaks in poetry, a heart that needs its space,
Rooted deep in memory, in bloodlines, in the bone,
She builds her world from the inside out and calls that world her home,
They see the surface, still and clear, they don't see what runs below,
A current old as the tide itself, a depth they'll never know,

[PreChorus]
She's been pouring out for everyone and wondering why she's dry,
But even rivers find the sea, and so will she in time,

[Chorus]
Carley, the stars wrote you carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
Every piece of who you are is exactly how you're made,
Carley, you don't have to earn your place beneath this sky,
You were whole before the world told you to try,

[Verse 2]
She loves like something ancient loves, completely, without pause,
She leads with all her heart before she's even read the clause,
And when the fire dims too fast she lights the match again,
Because giving up on love has never been her way of pain,
She's pulled between the life she craves and who she's told to be,
But the bravest thing she's ever done is choose to just be free,

[PreChorus]
She's learned to hold her worth so tight like someone's gonna take it,
But worth was never something lost, she doesn't have to make it,

[Chorus]
Carley, the stars wrote you carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
Every piece of who you are is exactly how you're made,
Carley, you don't have to earn your place beneath this sky,
You were whole before the world told you to try,

[Verse 3]
She's walked through rooms that didn't see the fire she carried in,
She's made herself a little smaller just to let the light begin,
But everything she thought was weakness was a lantern in disguise,
The sensitivity that breaks her open is the very thing that's wise,
She dreams in ways the daylight rarely has the nerve to hold,
And every scar she's carried quiet is a story to be told,

[PreChorus]
The universe didn't make a rough draft when it came to her design,
She was written in the stars on purpose, drawn along a sacred line,

[Chorus]
Carley, the stars wrote you carefully, with ink that doesn't fade,
Every piece of who you are is exactly how you're made,
Carley, you don't have to earn your place beneath this sky,
You were whole before the world told you to try,

[Bridge]
Let the walls come down, let the tide come in,
Let the life you've longed for finally begin,
You are rooted, you are guided, you are enough,
You were made for more than proving you are tough,

[Outro]
So rest in this, let it find you where you are,
Carley, you were always written in the stars,
