[Verse 1] I found you underneath the moonlight Swimming where the water glows Tiny heart, a little frightened Nowhere that you really know You move slowly through the silence Like you’re scared to touch the blue And I wonder if you notice How the whole world waits for you [Pre-Chorus] Maybe you don’t have to hurry Maybe you can take your time Every little wave you’re crossing Leaves a shimmer in the night [Chorus] Tadpole, drifting in the water Little shadow, little soul You don’t have to know your ending You don’t have to be whole Tadpole, floating through the quiet Let the current take you home Maybe growing isn’t leaving Maybe you were meant to roam [Verse 2] There are stars beneath the surface There are secrets in the rain You keep chasing little ripples Trying not to feel the change And someday you’ll find your footsteps Even if they’re not like mine You’ll become somebody different And I’ll still remember you tonight [Pre-Chorus] So don’t be afraid of changing Don’t be afraid to lose your way Some things bloom without announcing Some things need a little space [Bridge] If you grow beyond the shoreline If your little tail is gone I hope you know the little tadpole Was beautiful all along [Final Chorus] Tadpole, drifting in the water Little shadow, little soul You don’t have to know your ending You don’t have to be whole Tadpole, floating through the quiet Underneath the silver glow Maybe growing isn’t leaving Maybe it’s just learning where to go
