[Verse 1]
She reads the room before a word is spoken,
Feels the fractures underneath what's unbroken,
Still waters on the surface, tide below,
She carries ancient knowledge no one else can know,
She pours herself completely into what she does,
Not for the praise — she just loves because she loves

[PreChorus]
But she's been wondering if it's ever quite enough,
If the weight she holds inside is proof of something tough

[Chorus]
Shayla, you were written in the deep,
Every wound a vow that you will keep,
The cosmos carved you carefully and well,
You're more than all the stories you don't tell

[Verse 2]
She thinks in perfect layers, weighs each side,
A diplomat of feeling, vast and wide,
Her words are chosen bridges — never walls,
She's memorized the echoes in the halls,
Of every conversation left unfinished,
Every fire started, half extinguished

[PreChorus]
She's been reaching for a meaning past the sky,
A philosophy to answer every why

[Chorus]
Shayla, you were written in the deep,
Every wound a vow that you will keep,
The cosmos carved you carefully and well,
You're more than all the stories you don't tell

[Verse 3]
She loves the way an arrow loves the air,
With freedom and with faith beyond compare,
But love must feed her truth the way it feeds her fire,
She won't stay small for someone else's empire,
She needs a hand that opens, never holds,
A love as honest as the story that she told

[PreChorus]
There's a home inside her heart she hasn't found,
Where the roots go deeper than the open ground

[Chorus]
Shayla, you were written in the deep,
Every wound a vow that you will keep,
The cosmos carved you carefully and well,
You're more than all the stories you don't tell

[Verse 4]
She's been told her worth is tied to what she gives,
So she gives and gives until she barely lives,
But the ache she carries isn't proof she's broke,
It's the scar of every wall of fire she crossed and woke,
She doesn't need to earn her place among the light,
She was born already luminous, already right

[PreChorus]
Let her lay the heavy armor gently down,
She was always worthy long before the crown

[Chorus]
Shayla, you were written in the deep,
Every wound a vow that you will keep,
The cosmos carved you carefully and well,
You're more than all the stories you don't tell

[Bridge]
The searching was the answer all along,
The depth she feared to show became her song,
She's not a mystery that needs to be explained,
She's rainfall and she's wildfire and she's uncontained

[Outro]
The stars don't waste their light on empty skies,
And everything she is was placed there with precision and with pride,
She is held, she is whole, she is enough,
She always was
