**Verse 1** We prayed for you in quiet rooms Through years that felt like empty hands Watched other families meet their babies While we tried hard to understand There were nights we didn’t say much Just held each other in the dark But somewhere underneath the silence God was writing out your part **Pre-Chorus** Then two pink lines showed up one morning And we just stared at them awhile We wanted so bad to call it real But we’d been fooled by hope before So we kept your name beneath our breath Like a secret we were scared to say After all those years of losing hope We were scared to hope that way **Chorus** Little girl, you’re coming home We’ve been waiting all these years And every road that led to you Was worth the pain and tears I’ll teach you to be brave and kind To stand when the world says break And when you wonder why we waited I’ll tell you—you were worth the wait **Verse 2** I’ll put your little boots beside mine On a cold November dawn We’ll follow tracks through frosted grass Before the sun is fully on I’ll show you how to hold a rifle With a steady hand and careful aim But I’ll teach you that the strongest hands Are the ones that fold to pray We’ll fish beneath a summer sky With the whole day stretched ahead Let the river carry on its way And let the quiet fill our heads And when the fire turns to embers And the stars come pouring through We’ll bow our heads and thank the Lord For every road that led to you **Pre-Chorus 2** And maybe someday you’ll understand Why we were afraid to dream Why your mama counted every week And I watched every little change But every time you moved beneath her heart The walls around ours came down And little by little, faith got louder Than the fear we’d carried around **Bridge** Someday someone else’s boots will walk beside yours And you’ll outgrow your daddy’s hand You’ll take the road beyond these hills And make your own place to stand And I’ll watch you leave With more pride than I can hide Wondering how that little girl Got so tall right before my eyes So if the world gets loud around you And tells you who you’re supposed to be Remember there’s no shame in softness And no weakness in believing Keep a little wild in your heart But don’t let it harden you Keep Jesus close when you lose your way And I’ll always be here to come back to **Final Chorus** Little girl, you’re coming home And now I finally know Every tear and every unanswered prayer Was leading me to you I’ll teach you to be brave and kind But you’ll teach me things someday And when I look back on all those years I’ll know they had to be that way Little girl, you’re coming home We’ve been waiting all these years And every road that led to you Was worth the pain and tears So go be brave, go be kind Let that wild heart have its say And if you ever wonder what you were worth I’ll tell you—you're worth everything. **Little girl.**
