[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that no one fully sees,
A Cancer heart that loves like a deep-rooted tree,
You hold the world together with your quiet hands,
Then slip away to somewhere no one understands,
You've mapped the hidden aches of every room you've known,
And carried all of it without the weight showing.

[PreChorus]
But the currents running through you are not yours to fight,
They're the very thing that makes you burn so bright.

[Chorus]
Carmen, you were written in the water and the flame,
Every part of you that wanders always finds its way,
The sky that made you, Carmen, left its mark inside your bones,
You are not lost, you are not broken — you are home.

[Verse 2]
You think in poetry when the world wants plain speech,
There's a philosopher inside you, always out of reach,
Restless as an arrow loosed from somewhere far,
Searching for a meaning that matches who you are,
That hunger isn't emptiness, it's holy and it's wide,
It's the compass pointing forward you were born with deep inside.

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the light that lives in you,
It was never something proving had to make true.

[Chorus]
Carmen, you were written in the water and the flame,
Every part of you that wanders always finds its way,
The sky that made you, Carmen, left its mark inside your bones,
You are not lost, you are not broken — you are home.

[Verse 3]
You love the way a conversation catches fire,
With wit that disarms and warmth that climbs higher,
But love has asked you more than once to guard the door,
And trust has been a country you weren't certain of before,
Yet every time you opened up, the walls became a bridge,
And everything you gave away came back across the ridge.

[PreChorus]
The ones who see you clearly know exactly what you're worth,
Not the version you perform — the one beneath the surface.

[Chorus]
Carmen, you were written in the water and the flame,
Every part of you that wanders always finds its way,
The sky that made you, Carmen, left its mark inside your bones,
You are not lost, you are not broken — you are home.

[Verse 4]
There's a presence that you carry like a second kind of skin,
Magnetic and unspoken, drawing people in,
You've built things out of patience where others gave up fast,
You know that what is lasting has to be outlast,
The world is waiting for the gift you haven't handed out,
The version of yourself that lives beyond all doubt.

[PreChorus]
The season turning over now is made for what you hold,
Let the warmth you've always been finally be told.

[Chorus]
Carmen, you were written in the water and the flame,
Every part of you that wanders always finds its way,
The sky that made you, Carmen, left its mark inside your bones,
You are not lost, you are not broken — you are home.

[Bridge]
Every scar became the soil where your wisdom chose to grow,
Every question that you carried is the deepest thing you know,
You were never too much, never somehow not enough,
You were always, always, always made of the right stuff.

[Outro]
The stars don't speak in accident — they spoke when they made you,
Carmen, whatever comes, the universe won't forget to hold you through.
