Lyrics

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
