[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the quiet that nobody gets to see
A mind that moves like water, flowing deep and wild and free
You feel the world before it speaks, you hear what isn't said
You carry other people's weight like armor 'round your head
The calm they see is just the surface, not the undertow
There's an ocean inside you that most will never know

[PreChorus]
You've been bending toward the light while holding back the storm
Building something out of nothing just to keep the people warm

[Chorus]
Lyla, you are more than what you've given away
The universe wrote you in a language here to stay
Lyla, every wound became the wisdom that you wear
You don't have to earn your place — you were already there

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, wide and hard to name
Not the kind that asks for mirrors, not the kind that plays a game
You want a soul who meets you where the honest edges are
Someone who can read the silence and still travel far
You give before you're asked, you stay when others run
And still you wonder sometimes if you're someone worth the love

[PreChorus]
There's a voice inside that questions, keeps the score and checks the seams
But that mind that never rests is just a guardian of dreams

[Chorus]
Lyla, you are more than what you've given away
The universe wrote you in a language here to stay
Lyla, every wound became the wisdom that you wear
You don't have to earn your place — you were already there

[Verse 3]
You've carried quiet burdens in the rooms no one can find
A kind of weight that grows in shadow, heavy on the mind
You learned to hold it steady, learned to make the dark a throne
Turned solitude to something strong, turned silence into stone
But stone was never all you were — there's fire in your bones
A hunger for the wide-open, for a truth to call your own

[PreChorus]
The world you dreamed of building lives inside you, real and bright
You were mapped to lead through something — trust the compass, trust the light

[Chorus]
Lyla, you are more than what you've given away
The universe wrote you in a language here to stay
Lyla, every wound became the wisdom that you wear
You don't have to earn your place — you were already there

[Verse 4]
You came here with a vision that the ordinary can't contain
A restless kind of purpose burning steady through the rain
They see the face that holds it all together, cool and clear
They don't see what it cost you just to show up and be here
But every scar became a story, every doubt became a door
And the version of you standing now is worth fighting for

[PreChorus]
You don't need to be perfect, you don't need to prove a thing
Just let the tide come all the way in, let it do what tides do — sing

[Chorus]
Lyla, you are more than what you've given away
The universe wrote you in a language here to stay
Lyla, every wound became the wisdom that you wear
You don't have to earn your place — you were already there

[Bridge]
You were written in the deep before the world had any say
Guided, held, and spoken into being on your first day
The stars don't build by accident — they build with careful hands
And everything you are right now is exactly as it was planned

[Outro]
So let the ocean rise in you, let the fire find its ground
Lyla, you were never lost — you were always being found
The world needs what you carry, so don't you give it all away
You are enough, exactly now, exactly as you came
