THROUGH ME — GRANDMA'S OATH(Mine)

THROUGH ME — GRANDMA'S OATH Verse 1 I've lived long enough to know the dark, I've watched the world leave permanent marks. I've buried pieces I could never replace, I've learned how cruel this life can taste. Then I heard your heartbeat, So small beneath the skin, And something ancient woke inside me— A war I swear I'll win. You haven't seen the world yet, You don't know what it can do. But before you ever take your first breath, I'll make it safe for you. Pre-Chorus So let the years come crashing down, Let every scar remind me how. I've got one promise left to keep— I'll guard you while I breathe. Chorus If they come for you, they go through me. I'll stand between you and everything I see. I don't care how old I get, I don't care what's left of me. You are the little light I never knew I'd need, The sweetest piece of hope inside of me. Let the whole world come undone— You'll never face it alone. If they come for you, They go through me. Verse 2 I'll be the arms that catch you when you fall, The voice that tells you you're enough through it all. I'll teach you that you're worthy, I'll teach you to be brave, And when this world gets heavy, I'll help you carry the weight. I've got years behind me, But I'll spend what's left on you. Every sunrise that I get Is another one I give to you. And if one day you ask me Why I never let you go— I'll tell you, "Because you gave my heart somewhere new to grow." Pre-Chorus Let the monsters learn my name, Let them underestimate my age. They'll find there's nothing more dangerous Than a grandmother protecting her baby. Chorus If they come for you, they go through me. I'll stand between you and everything I see. I don't care how old I get, I don't care what's left of me. You are the little light I never knew I'd need, The sweetest piece of hope inside of me. Let the whole world come undone— You'll never face it alone. If they come for you, They go through me. Bridge — soft, almost spoken One day you'll grow. One day you'll leave these arms. You'll find your own sky, You'll make your own mistakes. And I'll let you. God, I'll let you. Because loving you was never about keeping you from the world. It was about making sure you always knew you had somewhere safe to come home to. Breakdown — whispered → screamed BUT UNTIL THEN— Don't touch. Don't reach. Don't come near. YOU'LL HAVE TO GET THROUGH ME. I've already survived the worst. I've already walked through fire. You think I'm afraid of losing everything? YOU ARE EVERYTHING. I'll give you my strength. I'll give you my years. I'll give you every breath until there are none left here. YOU ARE MY BLOOD. YOU ARE MY HEART. YOU ARE MY LITTLE MIRACLE. And I will protect you with everything I am. Final Chorus — huge If they come for you, they go through me. Even if there's nothing left of me to bleed. Let the sky collapse, Let the whole world turn against me. I'll still be standing where you need me to be. You are the love I never saw coming, The little soul that made my heart start running. And when the whole world says I'm not enough— I'll prove them wrong. If they come for you, They go through me. Outro — quiet, intimate So sleep, little one. Grandma is right here. You don't have to be afraid yet. Let me carry the dark for a while. And when you're finally ready to face this world... I'll be behind you. Always.
