[STYLE] [Dark cinematic pop • subtle Arabic/Oriental influence • Middle-Eastern melodic ornaments • minor-key atmosphere • soft female vocals • emotional but controlled • airy reverb • subtle autotune • oud + qanun textures • deep bass • modern pop beat • occasional Arabic-style vocal runs, no excessive vocal shakes or screams.] [INTRO – airy, oriental] Oh-oh… ya layl… Night came down, I lost my way, Thought my world was done that day. Held the weight, could barely breathe, Still a spark was left in me. [VERSE 1] They said, “Give up, it won’t change,” But I kept walking through the rain. “Time to cry, time to smile,” I found my strength after a while. [PRE-CHORUS – rising] Through the valley, dark and cold, Fear won’t write the story told. Storms may shake the ground below, Still I rise… still I go. [CHORUS – strong, oriental melody] Night may stay, but dawn will rise, Tears will turn to brighter skies. I won’t fear what lies ahead, The past can’t keep me where I bled. [POST-CHORUS – soft vocalization] Ah-ah… ya layl… Ah-ah… I’m still here… [VERSE 2] Closed doors, faces disappeared, Lost some things I once held dear. But every loss can make a space, For a brand-new road to take. [BRIDGE – emotional, minimal beat] There’s a time for everything, Fall today, tomorrow spring. What is gone can’t hold me down, I’ll keep moving, won’t turn ’round. [FINAL CHORUS – bigger] Night may stay, but dawn will rise, Tears will turn to brighter skies. I won’t fear what lies ahead, I’m not who I was — I’m not afraid. [OUTRO – oriental vocal run] Oh-oh… ya layl… Night moved slow… But night moved on. I’m still here… I’m still strong.
