[Verse 1]
She built a table for four and now sets it for three,
Cuts the crusts off the bread like he showed her, precisely,
Checks the homework twice over, the lunches aligned,
A woman who carries a kingdom inside her own mind,
Her hands never shake where the boys can still see,
She holds what was broken and calls it devotion, not duty

[PreChorus]
But the question that sits at the back of her throat—
Am I enough to keep two small ships afloat?

[Chorus]
Leah, you were chosen before you knew how,
Not by accident—by something that held its ground somehow,
Every dinner made, every bedtime, every worn-out day—
Leah, that's not survival, that's love finding its way

[Verse 2]
There's a voice like a gavel that rules from within,
That tallies each shortfall before she can begin,
She sees the gap where a father should stand in the frame,
And turns the loss into evidence, puts herself to blame,
But the ledger she keeps has been written in grief,
And grief is not verdict—it's love with nowhere to leave

[PreChorus]
She gave them a home in the middle of loss,
Built it with her bare hands, not counting the cost

[Chorus]
Leah, the two of them carry her name in their bones,
In the way that they laugh and the courage she's shown,
She's the reason they know what devotion looks like—
Leah, she's the proof that a whole life can hold half the light

[Verse 3]
August is coming to shatter the old into new,
A sun breaking open the dark it once struggled through,
Something in her is ready to put down the case
She's been arguing against herself, year after year, in that place,
The boys don't need a mother who's answered every why—
They need the one who stayed, and she's that woman. That's her life.

[PreChorus]
The eclipse doesn't ask if you're ready to blaze—
It simply arrives and sets the horizon ablaze

[Chorus]
Leah, the sky doesn't burn for the ones who deserve—
It burns for the ones who kept going, who held every nerve,
She's the light in that house when the night runs too long—
Leah, she was always the reason, she was always the song

[Bridge]
He would have told her—she's the reason they rise,
She's the steady thing left when the world closed its eyes,
Two boys who know how to love because she showed them first—
That's not a woman who's lacking; that's a woman immersed

[Outro]
Leah, lay down the verdict you never deserved,
The table you set every morning—that's how love is heard
