[Verse 1]
She holds the world together with her steady, patient hands,
A stillness in the center while nobody understands,
The mountain she has climbed alone, the ground she's learned to keep,
The calm they see is only what she lets them see this deep,
She carries more than she reveals, she always has, she will,
But the roots that hold the tallest oak run quiet and run still

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, not the tide,
Not the whole world she holds inside

[Chorus]
Karen, you were written in the earth and in the flame,
A Leo rising, born to lead, no two of you the same,
The cosmos built you carefully from fire, stone, and grace,
And everything you are right now is perfectly in place

[Verse 2]
She loves like something ancient, headfirst and unafraid,
A spark that doesn't ask permission, burning bright and undelayed,
She gives before she's asked to give, she feels before she speaks,
She's chased connection like a horizon, found it where she seeks,
The walls she's built aren't coldness, they're the wisdom of the scarred,
She loves with everything she has, and loving deep is hard

[PreChorus]
But every wound became a compass true,
Pointing back to the original you

[Chorus]
Karen, you were written in the earth and in the flame,
A Leo rising, born to lead, no two of you the same,
The cosmos built you carefully from fire, stone, and grace,
And everything you are right now is perfectly in place

[Verse 3]
Her mind moves like a river over ten things all at once,
A quick and restless brightness that no silence ever stunts,
She sees the world through metaphor, through pattern, through the deep,
She reads the room before she enters, catalogues and keeps,
She's served a thousand quiet needs and asked for nothing back,
But everything she gives away is never what she lacks

[PreChorus]
She was never meant to earn her right to stay,
She was always more than enough anyway

[Chorus]
Karen, you were written in the earth and in the flame,
A Leo rising, born to lead, no two of you the same,
The cosmos built you carefully from fire, stone, and grace,
And everything you are right now is perfectly in place

[Verse 4]
She's walked through rooms of discipline where softness wasn't seen,
Built her safety with her own two hands from all that in-between,
She's questioned what she's worth some nights when no one seemed to know,
But the foresight that she carries was not given, it was grown,
She's breaking cycles quietly, she's healing what was frayed,
And the life she built from scratch is the most beautiful she's made

[PreChorus]
The stars have mapped a path that leads to more,
She was born becoming who she's always been before

[Chorus]
Karen, you were written in the earth and in the flame,
A Leo rising, born to lead, no two of you the same,
The cosmos built you carefully from fire, stone, and grace,
And everything you are right now is perfectly in place

[Bridge]
She doesn't need to prove the depth that quietly defines her,
The universe already knows and moves itself behind her,
Every road she's walked has been a thread the sky was weaving,
She is held by something older than her doubting or believing

[Outro]
So rest inside the life you've earned, the one the stars designed,
Karen, you are whole, you're here, you're leaving none behind
