[Verse 1]
She reads the room before she reads the page,
A quiet storm that moves like something sage,
Her mind runs fast but her heart runs deep,
She holds the things that the world can't keep,
Roots wrapped in memory, family, and bone,
She carries her people wherever she goes

[PreChorus]
They see the laughter, they don't see the tide,
All those currents she's been running deep inside

[Chorus]
Makayla, you were written in the wild,
Something ancient wrapped up in a Tennessee child,
Every fire that you've walked through made you whole,
There's a compass made of starlight in your soul

[Verse 2]
She loves like something grand and unashamed,
Generous with her hands before she's even named,
She weighs every word against someone else's need,
Puts herself aside just to watch the others breathe,
But the weight she carries quiet is a gift not a flaw,
She bends toward the beautiful and that's her kind of law

[PreChorus]
She's been searching for a faith that finally fits,
Building her own altar stone by stone through all of it

[Chorus]
Makayla, you were written in the wild,
Something ancient wrapped up in a Tennessee child,
Every fire that you've walked through made you whole,
There's a compass made of starlight in your soul

[Verse 3]
She's dreamed in colors that don't have a name,
Chased the horizon down and came back changed,
There's a wound in her that asks if she belongs,
But that ache became the melody of every song,
She don't need the world to hand her back her worth,
It was hers the very moment she came to this earth

[PreChorus]
She's allowed to put it down and let herself breathe,
She is more than everything she thought she had to be

[Chorus]
Makayla, you were written in the wild,
Something ancient wrapped up in a Tennessee child,
Every fire that you've walked through made you whole,
There's a compass made of starlight in your soul

[Bridge]
The universe has known her name since before the dawn,
Every road that nearly broke her is the road she's on,
She don't have to outrun anything to earn her place,
She was always meant to land right here in this grace

[Outro]
So rest now, let the night hold what the day can't see,
Makayla, you are more than enough, you are free
