Makani Nalu - Layla

Don't you lay down Layla
You're greater than you know
Don't you lay down Layla
You're more than just a show
I know all those nights alone
Have got you trapped up in that mind
But couldn't I remind you
Of the greatness that's inside
I know that it kills you
The way that society sees you
But you're not just another pretty face
For society to screw
I won't let you go down
Without fighting you
I won't let you go down
Without reminding you
Layla
La-a-ay-la
It's killing me to see you
Go this way
Layla
It's society's tricks in your mind at play
Layla
I'm begging you
Oh, I'm begging you
To stay
You're more than they tell you
You're more than they could ever know
Layla
La-a-ay-la
I miss the way you smiled at the daisies on the street
I miss the way you laughed at my long and silly feet
These days
You don't come outside anymore
These days
You hide yourself away
And I can't stand it anymore
Layla
La-a-ay-la
I know it feels like the world against your convoluted mind
But it used to be so pure until you let them get inside
Layla
I need you don't you see
And this world needs more Layla's in it
Don't you leave me
Layla
Come outside and play
Layla
You could make this such a beautiful day
You let them win for long enough
They don't deserve your mind
You let them win for long enough
It's time to own your life
Come back Layla
Come back Layla
Come back La-a-a-ay-la
