Carmen

First time on a plane, 18, you came

You found a door and held it open

No way to know how to make a home

In someone else's motherland

You transplanted a family tree

And a part of it grew into me

You're stronger than I'll ever be

Never got a jubilee

I'll throw it for you, Carmen

Carmen, I will

The only place I wanna stand

Holding on to grandma's hands

Let them adore you, Carmen

Carmen, I will

Carmen, Carmen

Look at all the trouble that you made

Carved your initials in this island

But the Weetabix don't taste the same

And we're all talking to our phones

But you reigned over a family tree

And I'll carefully carry the seeds

You're stronger than I'll ever be

Never got a jubilee

I'll throw it for you, Carmen

Carmen, I will

The only place I wanna stand

Holding on to grandma's hands

Let them adore you, Carmen

Carmen, I will

Carmen, Carmen, Carmen, I will

You're stronger than I'll ever be

Never got a jubilee

I'll throw it for you, Carmen

Carmen, I will

The only place I wanna stand

Holding on to grandma's hands

Let them adore you, Carmen

Carmen, I will

Carmen, Carmen, I'm still

Carmen, I will

Carmen, Carmen

I'm still, I'm still, oh

(Carmen, Carmen, Carmen, Carmen, Carmen)

Stronger than I'll ever be

Carmen, Carmen, I will

Only place I wanna stand

Carmen, Carmen, I will

Carmen, Carmen, I'm still

Carmen, I will

Carmen, Carmen

I'm still, I'm still, oh
