[Verse 1]
She reads the room before a word is spoken
Feels the weight beneath what's left unbroken
There's a tide that runs behind those steady eyes
Ancient currents, quiet thunder in disguise
She's built a life on holding things together
A lighthouse standing tall in every weather
But nobody asks what holds the lighthouse up
Nobody sees the cracks inside the cup

[PreChorus]
She carries whole worlds in the palms of her hands
Gives everything she has and still she stands
And somewhere deep beneath that still exterior
Lives a fire that knows it is superior

[Chorus]
Carmen, you are deeper than the midnight sea
You were written by the stars deliberately
Every scar, every storm, every door you walked through
The universe was building someone like you
Carmen, let the world finally see your face
All that love you carry is not taking up space
You are not too much, you were never too small
You were always, always enough for it all

[Verse 2]
She loves like an open road, wide and unafraid
But she measures out her trust the way a promise should be made
There's a seeker living under all that grace
Always chasing meaning, always reaching for a higher place
She's weighing every choice to make sure no one's hurt
Puts herself at the bottom while she puts others first
But what she gives the world is rare and irreplaceable
The depth of what she holds is immeasurable

[PreChorus]
She carries whole worlds in the palms of her hands
Gives everything she has and still she stands
And somewhere deep beneath that still exterior
Lives a fire that knows it is superior

[Chorus]
Carmen, you are deeper than the midnight sea
You were written by the stars deliberately
Every scar, every storm, every door you walked through
The universe was building someone like you
Carmen, let the world finally see your face
All that love you carry is not taking up space
You are not too much, you were never too small
You were always, always enough for it all

[Bridge]
You've walked through the fire and come back with gold
You've held yourself together when the whole story was untold
There's a wisdom in the searching, in the questions never done
In the way you love so honestly beneath the rising sun
You don't have to earn your place here, it was carved for you before
Every gift you hold inside you, the world is asking for

[Outro]
Carmen, you are rooted and you're reaching at the same time
Every chapter of your living is a sacred, sacred sign
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades
You are held, you are guided, you are loved through all your days
