Chorus
The ladybugs know when I'm lost in my head,
When I'm carrying questions I haven't yet said.
They show up like whispers on the wind that blows,
Little red reminders only heaven knows.
Maybe they're angels, maybe they're signs,
Maybe they're grace arriving right on time.
All I know is they always seem to show,
When my heart needs a light, the ladybugs know.

Verse 2
We stood by my brother-in-law's grave,
While the bagpipes cried through the air.
The notes rolled out across the hillside,
Like sorrow and love meeting there.
And everywhere I looked that day,
Red wings covered stone and ground.
Hundreds of ladybugs gathered around,
As the pipes sang their mournful sound.

Bridge
Then one day I was wondering,
If love would ever find me.
I was chasing tomorrow,
Leaving the present behind me.
Then a ladybug flew into my sunglasses,
Startled me right where I stood.
And I heard a voice inside my heart say,
"My child, it's all going to be good."

"Of course you'll find your person,
Don't let doubt steal what will be.
Stop looking so far down the road,
And come back here with Me."

Final Chorus
The ladybugs know when I'm lost in my head,
When I'm carrying questions I haven't yet said.
They show up like whispers on the wind that blows,
Little red reminders only heaven knows.
Maybe they're angels, maybe they're signs,
Maybe they're grace arriving right on time.
All I know is they always seem to show,
When my heart needs a light, the ladybugs know.

Outro
So now when I see those tiny wings,
Drifting where the wildflowers grow,
I smile and thank the mystery,
Because the ladybugs know.
Yes, the ladybugs know.
Oh, the ladybugs know.

Verse 1 I was thinking of my grandmother, Turning old memories in my hands. Her laughter felt a million miles away, Like a voice drifting over distant land. I sat there with that quiet ache, The kind that settles deep and slow. Then a ladybug landed beside me, Like it had something I should know. Chorus The ladybugs know when I'm lost in my head, When I'm carrying questions I haven't yet said. They show up like whispers on the wind that blows, Little red reminders only heaven knows. Maybe they're angels, maybe they're signs, Maybe they're grace arriving right on time. All I know is they always seem to show, When my heart needs a light, the ladybugs know.
