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...
