[Verse]
There's an ocean running deeper than they know
Where the tides of feeling ebb and flow
You see the world through windows made of rain
Feel every heartbeat, every joy and pain
The surface shows a gentle, caring face
But underneath there's wisdom, there's a grace
That comes from swimming in the darkest wells
And learning all the stories water tells

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide
All those currents running deep inside

[Chorus]
Carol, you're the keeper of the sacred and unseen
Carol, holding space for every broken dream
The world needs what you carry in your gentle, knowing heart
Carol, you've been healing from the very start

[Verse]
You love like something ancient and unplanned
Like moonlight spilling silver on the sand
Your care flows out before you know you're giving
This tender way you have of simply living
The weight of others' worries you can hold
But your own heart's a story rarely told
You've learned to be the harbor in the storm
While keeping your own waters safe and warm

[PreChorus]
They see the help, they don't see the cost
The pieces of yourself you thought you'd lost

[Chorus]
Carol, you're the keeper of the sacred and unseen
Carol, holding space for every broken dream
The world needs what you carry in your gentle, knowing heart
Carol, you've been healing from the very start

[Bridge]
Every scar became a doorway to compassion
Every wound became a well of understanding
You don't need to be perfect, just present and true
The universe wrote you carefully, with ink that never fades
You are held, you are guided, you are enough in all your ways

[Outro]
There's a compass pointing home inside your chest
Leading you to all the love you've blessed
The stars remember every prayer you've whispered in the dark
Carol, you're the light, you're the healing spark
