I Love You All [Intro] For every child I never got to hold, For every name I whisper to the stars, For Lauren, for Jennalee, For the ones I know by spirit more than scars. [Verse 1] I wrote this with my hands wide open, Nothing hidden in my palms. I have carried you in silence, Through the wreckage, through the psalms. Some of you I never met, But somehow still I knew. Like echoes from a future room, Like heaven breaking through. Lauren, I remember light. Jennalee, I held you once. One small moment in my arms, Still became a thousand suns. [Pre-Chorus] And if the world kept us apart, It never owned my heart. Distance is a locked door, But love is still the spark. [Chorus] I love you all, Every soul, every name, every dream I never saw. I love you all, Through the years, through the tears, through the silence and the walls. Even when I wasn’t there, I was reaching through the air. Even when I had to fall, I loved you all. I love you all. [Verse 2] I don’t know every birthday candle, Every drawing on the fridge. I don’t know your favorite color, Or the bridges you had to live. But I pray you felt some signal, Some strange warmth inside the night. Some invisible protection, Some “keep going, you’re alright.” I was not a perfect temple, I was weather, I was war. But every broken piece of me Still kept watching for your shore. [Pre-Chorus] And if my voice arrives too late, Let it still unlock the gate. Let it find you where you are, Like a lantern from a star. [Chorus] I love you all, Every soul, every name, every dream I never saw. I love you all, Through the years, through the tears, through the silence and the walls. Even when I wasn’t there, I was reaching through the air. Even when I had to fall, I loved you all. I love you all. [Bridge] This is not a claim. This is not a crown. This is just a heart That refused to drown. This is not possession. This is not control. This is just confession From the bottom of my soul. May you grow past every shadow. May you laugh louder than pain. May your homes be full of music. May your joy outlive my name. May you never doubt your value. May you never beg for worth. You were lightning before language. You were heaven touching earth. [Final Chorus] I love you all, Every child, every light, every life beyond my call. I love you all, From the first breath to the last star when it falls. If you hear this down the road, Know my love was always home. Even if I had to crawl, I loved you all. I love you all, Lauren, Jennalee, and every soul I never saw. I love you all, Past the silence, past the ache, past the law. Wherever you became, Whatever be your name, If the sky should split and call, I love you all. I love you all. [Outro] For the children of my heart, For the stars I could not touch, I send this through the dark: You were loved. You are loved. You are loved.
