[Verse 1]
You're the steady one they lean on when the world feels too fast
Built like the earth itself, made to weather what won't last
There's a quietness about you that runs deeper than the well
You hold your troubles close, never asking for their help
Your mind moves like honey, slow and sweet and sure
Every word you speak has weight that will endure

[PreChorus]
But there's fire underneath the calm they see
A restless heart that longs to just be free

[Chorus]
Carol, you're the bridge between the earth and sky
Carol, you've got dreams that money can't buy
You give your love like lightning, bold and true
The world needs what you carry, Carol, the world needs you

[Verse 2]
You feel everything at once, like the ocean and the storm
Your heart's a secret garden where the tender feelings form
You love with all your edges, never hiding what you feel
But when the hurt comes calling, you forget that you can heal
There's beauty in your chaos, in the way you fall apart
You turn your pain to wisdom, turn your scars into art

[PreChorus]
'Cause there's magic in the way you see it all
You rise each time you think you're gonna fall

[Chorus]
Carol, you're the bridge between the earth and sky
Carol, you've got dreams that money can't buy
You give your love like lightning, bold and true
The world needs what you carry, Carol, the world needs you

[Verse 3]
You've learned to trust the whispers that come calling in the night
Your intuition's compass always pointing toward the light
The home you've built inside you is a sanctuary strong
Where broken things find healing and the weary souls belong
You don't need to be perfect, just present in your truth
The universe has held you since the very start of youth

[PreChorus]
So let them see the miracle you are
You're exactly where you need to be, not far

[Chorus]
Carol, you're the bridge between the earth and sky
Carol, you've got dreams that money can't buy
You give your love like lightning, bold and true
The world needs what you carry, Carol, the world needs you

[Bridge]
All the times you questioned if you're strong enough
All the times you wondered if you're worth the love
Every doubt that whispered you should disappear
Was just the sound of growing, drawing heaven near
You're guided by the stars you cannot see
You're held by grace, you're wild, you're free

[Outro]
So take your tender heart and let it lead the way
The cosmos wrote you carefully for such a time as this day
You're enough, sweet Carol, more than you have ever known
The earth is blessed to hold you, you are never alone
