[Verse 1]
She carries the whole sky behind her eyes
A Sagittarius soul too honest for disguise
She'll tell you the truth before she tells you what you want
A fire that burns clean, a love that goes out front
But underneath the boldness there's an ocean running deep
A Cancer moon that nurtures every heart except her own to keep

[PreChorus]
She gives like she was made for it, forgets to take her share
The ones who really see her know how much she holds in there

[Chorus]
Shayla, you were written in a careful hand
The cosmos drew the map before you had to understand
You don't have to earn the ground on which you stand
Shayla, you were always more than you demand

[Verse 2]
She thinks in straight lines but she feels in waves and tides
She'll plan the whole cathedral while the grief lives on inside
Her mind is built for purpose, for the long and steady road
But the weight of doing perfectly has been one heavy load
There's a wound that says not good enough, it whispers while she works
But the very fact she feels it is the proof of how much it hurts

[PreChorus]
And hurting deep don't mean that she is broken at the seam
It means she's made of something real, not surface, not a dream

[Chorus]
Shayla, you were written in a careful hand
The cosmos drew the map before you had to understand
You don't have to earn the ground on which you stand
Shayla, you were always more than you demand

[Verse 3]
She loves like something ancient, like a current under stone
All the way or not at all, she cannot love alone
She craves the kind of closeness that can swallow the whole past
But she's guarded every entrance 'cause she's tired of things that don't last
The right love won't require her to become a smaller thing
She was born to be the depth, not just the offering

[PreChorus]
And the walls she built aren't failures, they're the wisdom of the scarred
She let the ones worth keeping find the way into her yard

[Chorus]
Shayla, you were written in a careful hand
The cosmos drew the map before you had to understand
You don't have to earn the ground on which you stand
Shayla, you were always more than you demand

[Verse 4]
There is someone who has watched her from the very start
Who has held a place beside her like a compass in the dark
Not a mother, not a stranger, something rarer, something true
A witness to the woman that the world is just now catching onto
The road ahead is wider than the one that she has known
And the stars that wrote her story never meant for her to walk it alone

[PreChorus]
The hard days aren't a verdict, they're the turning of a tide
And everything she's carried is becoming something wide

[Chorus]
Shayla, you were written in a careful hand
The cosmos drew the map before you had to understand
You don't have to earn the ground on which you stand
Shayla, you were always more than you demand

[Bridge]
The universe kept records of every quiet brave
Every time she chose to rise when all she felt was cave
There's a light that moves in her that no season can undo
And the world is not yet ready for the fullness of her truth

[Outro]
Let the stars be what they've always been — a witness, not a weight
She was never running late, she was always right on time
Shayla, rest inside the knowing: you are more than fine
