[Verse 1]
Karen, you were born with fire in your mind
A restless kind of truth not everyone can find
You speak before you soften, love before you plan
You carry something honest most don't understand
There's a depth beneath your laughter, a storm behind your calm
A quiet kind of power, a self-made healing balm

[PreChorus]
And the universe keeps pulling you along
Through every lesson learned, through every unsung song

[Chorus]
Karen, you were always meant to rise
With that hunger in your heart and that wisdom in your eyes
You don't need permission, you don't need a sign
The stars already wrote it — this life was yours by design

[Verse 2]
You love like conversation, open, sharp, and real
You'd rather know the wound than hide from what you feel
You draw in those who match your flame, who meet you where it's deep
Who aren't afraid of silence or the promises they keep
Your tenderness is quiet but it fills up every room
You make the ones you love feel safe beneath the moon

[PreChorus]
And the ones who truly see you, they will stay
Not because you're easy, but because you light the way

[Chorus]
Karen, you were always meant to rise
With that hunger in your heart and that wisdom in your eyes
You don't need permission, you don't need a sign
The stars already wrote it — this life was yours by design

[Verse 3]
There's a voice inside that questions if you've done enough, been more
But everything you've carried only opened up a door
Your purpose isn't perfect, it's the way you show up true
The way you turn your struggles into something others move through
Karen, trust the timing, trust the ground beneath your feet
Every broken chapter made the story feel complete

[PreChorus]
And the universe has held you all along
Even in the silence, you were never really gone

[Chorus]
Karen, you were always meant to rise
With that hunger in your heart and that wisdom in your eyes
You don't need permission, you don't need a sign
The stars already wrote it — this life was yours by design

[Bridge]
You're not too much, you're not too deep
You're exactly what this world will need
So let the doubt fall like the rain
Karen, step into your name

[Outro]
The stars already knew you before you knew yourself
Karen, you were written in the sky by something else
