Lyrics: 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)


Stronger than I'll ever be

(Carmen, Carmen

Carmen, Carmen)

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
