[Verse 1]
You carry oceans in your chest, but hide them from the world
A steady heart that beats for others while your needs stay furled
They see the calm, but not the depths where all your currents flow
The way you build your worth in service, never letting go

[PreChorus]
You don't need to prove your place here
You don't need to earn your ground
Every quiet act of caring is a holy, sacred sound

[Chorus]
Carol, you're the mountain and the fire both at once
The steady earth that holds us and the spark that lights the hunt
Carol, there's a cosmos in your careful, gentle ways
The universe has mapped your path through all your nights and days

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves quick like summer lightning, dancing thought to thought
But something deep inside you whispers that it's not enough
You've built your home in other's stories, made their joy your own
While forgetting you're the author of a beautiful unknown

[PreChorus]
You don't need to shrink your brightness
You don't need to dim your flame
Every dream you've ever carried deserves to know your name

[Chorus]
Carol, you're the mountain and the fire both at once
The steady earth that holds us and the spark that lights the hunt
Carol, there's a cosmos in your careful, gentle ways
The universe has mapped your path through all your nights and days

[Verse 3]
There's power in your tender places, wisdom in your scars
Each time you thought you weren't enough, you were reaching for the stars
Your love burns bright and fierce and honest, taking every chance
While others play it safe and small, you choose the sacred dance

[PreChorus]
You don't need to be perfect, just present and true
The world has been waiting for everything you do

[Chorus]
Carol, you're the mountain and the fire both at once
The steady earth that holds us and the spark that lights the hunt
Carol, there's a cosmos in your careful, gentle ways
The universe has mapped your path through all your nights and days

[Verse 4]
Your vision sees what others can't, the beauty yet to be
But sometimes all that hoping leaves you feeling lost at sea
Trust the compass pointing home inside your beating heart
Every ending is beginning, every end is where you start

[Bridge]
You are guided, you are held, you are enough as you are
Every question that you carry is a wish upon a star
Let the world receive your gifts without apology or shame
You were written in the cosmos, called by your own sacred name

[Outro]
The stars have been singing your story since time began
You are exactly who you're meant to be, part of a grander plan
