[Verse 1] [Child] Do we get strong? Do we get tall? Do we stop feeling weird at all? Do we still dream? Do we make art? Do people finally see our heart? [Future Her] You really have a wondering mind... Funny... I still have the same kind. Let's take these... one at a time. Being strong isn't muscles alone. It's feeding your mind... while remembering your soul is always home. Some people grow tall. Some stay small. Feeling weird? Baby... Who decided different was something to fear? The most beautiful souls I've ever met never fit inside the standards someone else had set. [Verse 2] [Child] Do we have friends? Do we belong? Do people ever sing our songs? Do we laugh loud? Do we still play? Or does growing steal that away? Do I have to be what everybody says? Or can I still become whatever's in my head? [Future Her] Some friends stay. Some drift away. The best ones... become family anyway. Laughter's medicine. It heals what hurts within. Most grown-ups stop playing... But I think that's where living begins. Don't trade your joy just to fit a mold. Don't wear a mask because somebody else got scared of your gold. You hold the key to becoming who you're meant to be. [Pre-Chorus] [Child] You sound tired... Like you've carried way too much. [Future Her] I am. But every lesson lit another lantern. Every scar became wisdom... Not who I am. I'm trying my hardest to leave you a different world. One where survival isn't the first thing you have to learn. [Chorus] What should I tell you, kid? That dreams don't always go as planned? Yeah... Sometimes life slips through your hands. But hope survives. Love still grows. Even through the hardest roads. You'll laugh again. You'll sing out loud. You'll make weird art and make yourself proud. You came here looking for the future. Here's the truth I finally found... You were never broken. You were always becoming. [Bridge] Life will ask things of you. Some days you'll break. Some days you'll wonder if your whole heart was a mistake. People will leave. Bodies will ache. Plans will crumble. Dreams will reshape. But don't confuse their leaving... for your worth. You were never incomplete. No person... No title... No dream... was ever sent here to finish you. Stand in your wholeness. Let love become an addition... not permission to exist. Fight for what matters. Rest when you need. Learn from your scars... but don't become them. [Final Chorus] What should I tell you, kid? Growing up doesn't fix everything. But it doesn't take everything either. You'll find people who truly see you. You'll lose some. You'll outgrow others. You'll cry. You'll dance in the kitchen. You'll make beautiful things. You'll love deeply. You'll begin again... more than once. And every ending will quietly teach you where to begin. [Outro] Go live loudly. Love deeply. Stay curious. Choose kindly. Pour your whole soul into everywhere you go. Expect less. Notice more. Trust yourself. You'll always know the next step... because it's already waiting inside you. And if you ever forget... I'll be here. Not to save you. Just to remind you... you've been enough... since the very beginning.
