[Verse 1]
There's a stillness you wear like armor on your skin,
A ocean underneath that no one's ever seen within,
You read every room before you cross the door,
Feeling everything at once, then pretending to feel more,
The weight you carry quietly could bring lesser things to ground,
But you hold it like a lantern, turning darkness into sound.

[PreChorus]
You've been surviving when you meant to live,
Pouring out the very last of what you had to give.

[Chorus]
Hold on, Kaylie, the light hasn't left you yet,
You are more than all the battles you're trying to forget,
The world was written with a place that only you can fill,
You are wanted, you are needed, you are here, and you are real.

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient, like a river running deep,
You give in ways that no one sees while others are asleep,
There's a wound sewn into your roots that never got a name,
But the home you couldn't find back then, you've learned to build and claim,
You were never broken, only bent beneath the storm,
Every scar a kind of wisdom, every cold night made you warm.

[PreChorus]
The ground is closer than it feels when you can't see the floor,
You are not too far from shore, you never were before.

[Chorus]
Hold on, Kaylie, the light hasn't left you yet,
You are more than all the battles you're trying to forget,
The world was written with a place that only you can fill,
You are wanted, you are needed, you are here, and you are real.

[Verse 3]
There's a fire in you that doesn't ask permission to be free,
A mind that holds the map to places others cannot see,
You've stood inside the eye of it and kept yourself upright,
Not because it wasn't heavy, but because you grip the light,
Joy is not a thing that left you, it just went underground,
And everything you're searching for is waiting to be found.

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the right to stay, to breathe, to be,
You were made with full intention, made completely, made to see.

[Chorus]
Hold on, Kaylie, the light hasn't left you yet,
You are more than all the battles you're trying to forget,
The world was written with a place that only you can fill,
You are wanted, you are needed, you are here, and you are real.

[Bridge]
The stars don't burn to prove they're worth the sky,
And neither do you, neither do you,
Something ancient placed its hand along your spine,
And said — I made this one to last the night.

[Outro]
You are not the silence between who you were and who you'll be,
You are the whole becoming, you are enough, just as you breathe.
