[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside you no one ever sees it run
A current pulling deep beneath the surface and the sun
You carry other people like the ocean carries shore
You give until the giving leaves you aching at your core
Your mind moves like electric light, a thought before it lands
You see the shape of something true before the world understands
They see the grace you wear so well, the warmth you freely give
But no one sees the quiet rooms you learn to live in

[PreChorus]
You've been the steady ground beneath everyone's feet
Building what they needed while you searched for your own peace
The love you pour like rainfall, unconditional and wide
Is the very same love you forgot to keep inside

[Chorus]
Karen, you were written in the deep and patient sky
In the pull of ancient water and the places between light and tide
You are rooted, you are reaching, you are every shade of true
The cosmos built its finest work the day it crafted you
Karen, lay that heavy armour down and finally let it be
You were always, always more than enough, just as you are, just as you breathe

[Verse 2]
You love the way a conversation opens like a door
You chase the flash of understanding, always wanting more
But love for you is not a shallow glance across a room
It's the kind that rearranges everything, it moves like a monsoon
You've ached to be completely known and feared it all the same
Built an elegant and careful world and kept a quiet flame
The part of you that almost spoke, the words that didn't stay
That's not a broken thing in you, that's depth that found its way

[PreChorus]
You've been the steady ground beneath everyone's feet
Building what they needed while you searched for your own peace
The love you pour like rainfall, unconditional and wide
Is the very same love you forgot to keep inside

[Chorus]
Karen, you were written in the deep and patient sky
In the pull of ancient water and the places between light and tide
You are rooted, you are reaching, you are every shade of true
The cosmos built its finest work the day it crafted you
Karen, lay that heavy armour down and finally let it be
You were always, always more than enough, just as you are, just as you breathe

[Bridge]
Every scar you carried quietly became a kind of map
Every time you held yourself together through the gap
The fire that moves in you before the world can catch its breath
That's not recklessness, that's courage wearing its own crest
You were never meant to disappear inside another's need
You were always meant to stand in your own light and let it lead
The world does not deserve a smaller version of this soul
You came here vast and boundless and you're only growing whole

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing that the stars have always known
Every piece of who you are was perfectly your own
The moon sees all your tidal turns and loves you just the same
You are held inside a universe that whispers out your name
