Mayla Lyrics

Mayla long time
May the sunshine
Mayla, know I'm
Tryin to see it through
Our future to the new horizon

Mayla long time
May the sunshine
Hold on we're trying
Our hands our bleeding through
We're building us a new horizon

Mayla long time
May the sunshine
Mayla we're trying
Our hands are black and blue
Our death says that we're due, and falling

And all I have to do to rise
Is look into your eyes

Mayla

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is so beautiful and endearing. It's a tragic story but the song really captures the way one ought to handle it, realistically with some hope. Really makes you fall in love with the man who could write a song like this about a friend's young daughter.
