[Verse 1]
You shine with quiet authority, a warmth that draws them near
Behind the graceful confidence, there's depths they'll never hear
You've learned to carry burdens that were never meant for you
Building walls around your worth, afraid it won't break through
Your mind won't rest, it searches for the perfect way to heal
Every flaw becomes a mission, every wound you need to seal

[PreChorus]
But there's an ocean in your chest that knows what others need
A steady hand, a listening heart, a soul that plants the seed

[Chorus]
Karen, you're the one who holds the light when darkness falls
Karen, every broken piece inside you stands up tall
You don't need to fix it all, just be the truth you are
Karen, you're guided by an ancient burning star

[Verse 2]
They see the calm composure but they miss the fire within
The way you love through service, letting quiet actions win
You've mastered being helpful while your own heart learns to wait
Dancing between dreaming and the calls of mundane fate
Your sensitivity's a compass pointing toward what's real
The world needs what you carry, every truth you dare to feel

[PreChorus]
There's a wisdom in your doubting, in the questions that you ask
Your gentleness is power wearing vulnerability's mask

[Chorus]
Karen, you're the one who holds the light when darkness falls
Karen, every broken piece inside you stands up tall
You don't need to fix it all, just be the truth you are
Karen, you're guided by an ancient burning star

[Bridge]
The universe has written you with ink that never fades
Every storm you've weathered carved the strength that never breaks
Your worth was never earned, it was always yours to claim
The cosmos knew your value long before you learned your name

[Outro]
Let the earth beneath you hold what you don't need to bear
You are held, you are enough, you are answered prayer
