[Verse 1]
She carries quiet like a second skin,
A world of thunder running deep within,
The face she shows is easy, warm, and bright,
But oh, the tides she's wrestled through the night,
She thinks in layers most will never reach,
A mind like still water, fathoms past its beach

[PreChorus]
She gives before she's asked, she holds before she cries,
She's built a life from discipline dressed up as sacrifice

[Chorus]
Laura, you are more than what you manage and maintain,
The light in you was never lost, it just learned to work through rain,
Laura, every wall you built was wisdom, not a flaw,
You are ancient, you are gentle, you are worthy of it all

[Verse 2]
She loves the way a conversation breathes,
A laugh, a glance, a thought that finally frees,
But in the quiet corners of her chest,
She hides the longing that she can't express,
She'll tend to everyone before herself,
Then wonder why she's running out of health

[PreChorus]
She's not too much, she's never been too little,
She's the answer to a question placed between the riddle

[Chorus]
Laura, you are more than what you manage and maintain,
The light in you was never lost, it just learned to work through rain,
Laura, every wall you built was wisdom, not a flaw,
You are ancient, you are gentle, you are worthy of it all

[Verse 3]
She came in knowing roots were not a given,
That home was something earned, not always given,
She learned to hold herself before she'd fall,
To stand composed while hearing no one's call,
But what they missed became her deepest art,
The self-forged steel of one uncommon heart

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need the crowd to know her value's real,
The truest gold is what she keeps too guarded to reveal

[Chorus]
Laura, you are more than what you manage and maintain,
The light in you was never lost, it just learned to work through rain,
Laura, every wall you built was wisdom, not a flaw,
You are ancient, you are gentle, you are worthy of it all

[Verse 4]
She's pulled between the wild and the controlled,
Between the story told and yet untold,
A soul that's meant to play and risk and feel,
To let the dream be something more than real,
The stars that wrote her didn't write her small,
They wrote her wide enough to hold it all

[PreChorus]
She doesn't have to earn the right to rest and to receive,
The life she's always wanted is already hers to breathe

[Chorus]
Laura, you are more than what you manage and maintain,
The light in you was never lost, it just learned to work through rain,
Laura, every wall you built was wisdom, not a flaw,
You are ancient, you are gentle, you are worthy of it all

[Bridge]
The cosmos didn't scatter her like something left to chance,
She was mapped across the heavens long before her first breath and glance,
Every scar became a doorway, every doubt became a key,
She was always, always worthy of the life she's growing free

[Outro]
She is held inside the turning of a world that knows her name,
She is not the sum of what she's lost or carried through the flame,
She is Laura, whole and radiant, arriving as she is,
Every part of her belonging, every breath of her a gift
