[Verse 1]
There's a fire in you that runs below the skin,
A lion's quiet roar held carefully within,
You shine without a stage, you glow without a crowd,
Your truest, brightest self lives just beneath the proud,
You've mapped a world inside that no one else can see,
And called it loneliness when it was actually free,

[PreChorus]
But the light you keep in shadow is still light,
And the strength you never show is why you've won every fight,

[Chorus]
Carmie, the stars were carved around your name,
You are not too much, you are not too tame,
Every wall you built was just a door,
You have always been exactly what you're for,

[Verse 2]
You feel the room before you speak a single word,
You carry every quiet thing that no one's ever heard,
You've given more than shelves could hold, more than hands could count,
And wondered why the well ran dry when you were the whole fount,
You love like something ancient, like a tide that won't recede,
A heart that gives before it's asked, a root that plants the seed,

[PreChorus]
But the one who holds the others can be held,
The one who weathers every storm deserves a sheltered well,

[Chorus]
Carmie, the stars were carved around your name,
You are not too much, you are not too tame,
Every wall you built was just a door,
You have always been exactly what you're for,

[Verse 3]
You've learned to measure worth in what the world could see you do,
You've stood in borrowed light so long you thought it wasn't you,
But there are depths in you that discipline could never fully hold,
A playful, tender wildness underneath the careful and controlled,
You've fought for every person at the table, every broken thing,
Now rest your hands a moment, let someone else carry what you bring,

[PreChorus]
The mountain doesn't prove itself by moving for the eye,
It's worthy in its stillness, and so, beloved, are you and I,

[Chorus]
Carmie, the stars were carved around your name,
You are not too much, you are not too tame,
Every wall you built was just a door,
You have always been exactly what you're for,

[Verse 4]
The cosmos didn't rush the day it wrote your soul to earth,
It folded fire into bone and called the whole thing worth,
You are the alchemist of every shadow you have known,
Each quiet transformation made you something fully grown,
And Leo season comes around to say what you forget,
That you were born to take up space, and you haven't failed it yet,

[PreChorus]
The universe does not make things it plans to leave behind,
You are held inside a pattern that was perfectly designed,

[Chorus]
Carmie, the stars were carved around your name,
You are not too much, you are not too tame,
Every wall you built was just a door,
You have always been exactly what you're for,

[Bridge]
You don't need to earn the light that's already yours to keep,
The river doesn't justify the way it runs so deep,
Let the season turn and find you standing in your own,
A woman written carefully in constellations, and finally home,

[Outro]
The stars still hold the shape of everything you are,
You were never lost, you were always the north star,
Carmie, come home to the truest part of you,
The sky has always known — and now, you know it too,
