[Verse 1]
They see the calm, the measured gaze, the steady hand you show,
They don't see the ocean underneath, the tides that pull and flow,
You carry what you've excavated from the roots of who you are,
Old inherited storms made into compass, made into scar,
Your mind moves like lightning seeking answers through the haze,
A visionary running quiet revolutions through your days

[PreChorus]
You've been building something real from every wall you had to climb,
Learning that your presence here was never wasted time

[Chorus]
Carrie, you are written in the deep and in the wide,
Every contradiction you have carried is a tide,
You don't need to be chosen, don't need to be seen to be true,
The universe already knows exactly what you carry through

[Verse 2]
You love like someone hungry for the honest and the real,
Like a traveler who gives the gift before the other kneels,
Through the daily acts of care you weave a quiet kind of grace,
You make the ordinary feel like sacred, sacred space,
But you've wondered if your worth was in the doing, not the being,
Ached for someone finally finding what you've kept from seeing

[PreChorus]
You are not the sum of all the effort you have spent,
You were whole before the proving, before the long ascent

[Chorus]
Carrie, you are written in the deep and in the wide,
Every contradiction you have carried is a tide,
You don't need to be chosen, don't need to be seen to be true,
The universe already knows exactly what you carry through

[Verse 3]
There's a hunger in you for the depth that others turn away,
You have walked through transformation like it's just another day,
The fire in you moves before the world has named the flame,
Refusing every box they built and every borrowed frame,
Your heart has mapped the places where the old must fall to dust,
And from those ruins something wilder rises — and it must

[PreChorus]
The world is not too small for you, the sky is not too wide,
You were made to hold the storm and still feel whole inside

[Chorus]
Carrie, you are written in the deep and in the wide,
Every contradiction you have carried is a tide,
You don't need to be chosen, don't need to be seen to be true,
The universe already knows exactly what you carry through

[Bridge]
Let the season turn and find you standing in your light,
Not because you earned it but because you are the light,
Everything you've held in silence has a name, has a place,
You are more than enough — you were enough from the first grace

[Outro]
The stars did not make you to be small or still or tame,
They wrote you out in full, they never once looked for someone plain,
Carrie, rest now — you are known, you are held, you are true,
The cosmos kept no secret — it was always, only you
