In this place they don’t want “me” Silent masks are all they see Value lies in empty skin But inside I know within Voices whisper “don’t resist” Steal my face and still insist Every echo breaks my frame Still I fight to keep my name They call my name, I’m Laila, Laila Denying the shame, I’m Laila, Laila No way to escape, I’m Laila, Laila My name is Laila Endless mirrors hide my cry Copies fade and multiply What they see is not the same Still I burn with inner flame Voices whisper “don’t stand tall” Try to chain me, make me small Even if I break apart Still I guard my rebel heart Forget who you are, You’re Laila, Laila The same as we are, You’re Laila, Laila Don’t think, just obey, You’re Laila, Laila Your name is Laila Laila, Laila, hear me tonight Breaking silence, chasing light Tearing walls that held me down Laila, Laila, Laila, Laila… I’m sick of it, Laila! They call my name, I’m Laila, Laila Denying the shame, I’m Laila, Laila No way to escape, I’m Laila, Laila My name is Laila They call my name, I’m Laila, Laila Denying the shame, I’m Laila, Laila No way to escape, I’m Laila, Laila I call my name, I’m only Laila
