[Intro] (Dear little me, I see you there) (Holding the phone, unaware) [Verse 1] I wish I could reach through time, Tell you to stay, let him say goodbye. You were lost in a world of play, Not knowing he’d be gone the next day. His voice was breaking, but you let go, You didn’t know—how could you know? And when the morning stole him away, It took your childhood that same day. [Pre-Chorus] The weight will come, the nights will ache, The echoes of his voice will fade. But little me, just hold on tight, You’ll make it through another night. [Chorus] You are strong, you will survive, Though the pain cuts like a knife. You may be small, but don’t you fold, Your heart is fire, your soul is gold. You will rise, through the dark, Even when the world falls apart. Oh, little me, don’t be afraid, You will shine beyond the grave. [Verse 2] Hold mommy’s hand in the darkest streets, As she searches for her son in shattered dreams. Hold her up when she can’t stand, Be the light when life demands. Daddy’s voice will turn to dust, But inside you, it’s made of trust. He was your king, still is today, Just watching from a different place. [Pre-Chorus] The weight will come, the nights will ache, The echoes of his voice will fade. But little me, just hold on tight, You’ll make it through another night. [Chorus] You are strong, you will survive, Though the pain cuts like a knife. You may be small, but don’t you fold, Your heart is fire, your soul is gold. You will rise, through the dark, Even when the world falls apart. Oh, little me, don’t be afraid, You will shine beyond the grave. [Instrumental Interlude] [Bridge] You were a princess who lost her crown, But you built an empire from the ground. Through the ashes, through the flames, You became a warrior with his name. [Final Chorus] You are strong, you will survive, Though the pain cuts like a knife. You may be small, but don’t you fold, Your heart is fire, your soul is gold. You will rise, through the dark, Even when the world falls apart. Oh, little me, don’t be afraid, You will shine beyond the grave. [Outro] (Dear little me, I see you there) (And I promise, you’ll make it there.)
