Lyrics

[Intro] Imagine that a young person flying on the plane for the first time On this forty thousand mile ride It was very scary (Mm), it was very scary [Verse 1] First time on a plane Eighteen, 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 [Chorus] You're stronger than I'II 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] I will Carmen, Carmen, Carmen I will [Chorus] 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 [Outro] I will Carmen, Carmen, Carmen I will Stronger than I'll ever be (Carmen) Holding onto Grandma (Carmen, Carmen, Carmen) Holding onto Grandma's hands (I will) Ooh (Carmen, Carmen, Carmen) (Carmen, Carmen, Carmen) Stronger than I'll ever be Holding onto Grandma Holding onto Grandma, Hey Holding onto Grandma Holding onto Grandma's hands We're going to end on a happy one now And, um, this is just a song about letting yourself be loved and loving back, gosh Which can be really difficult to do So I hope you feel it
