[Verse 1 – Soft, innocent vocals] Hey, mister, why you looking so tired? Why's there still a storm behind your eyes? I remember when we used to dream big, When we thought we'd touch the stars someday. I know life didn't turn out easy, I know we lost a few along the way. But I'm the little boy you left behind, And I've got something I need to say. [Pre-Chorus] You don't have to hide your tears, You don't have to fight alone. I know you carried all our fears, But look how far we've grown. [Chorus – Emotional, soaring vocals] You're gonna be okay, I promise, I know it doesn't feel that way. I know you think you're still that broken little boy, But look at us, we made it through today. All the nights you thought you'd never survive, All the times you wished you'd disappear, I promise you, it wasn't all for nothing, I'm still here, and we're still here. So don't you give up on tomorrow, Don't let the past take you away. You spent your whole life trying to save me, Now let me tell you, we're gonna be okay. [Verse 2 – Gentle piano, heartfelt delivery] I remember every tear we cried, Every lonely night we couldn't sleep. All the promises we made ourselves, And all the dreams we tried to keep. I know you think you should've done more, I know you wish you'd changed our past. But I'm not angry at the man you've become, I'm just proud that you made it this far. You gave me things I never thought I'd have, A chance to grow, a place to belong. And even though the road was painful, You turned our suffering into something strong. [Pre-Chorus] So put those heavy bags down, You've carried them for far too long. The little boy you tried to protect Is standing here, and he's grown strong. [Chorus – Bigger, more powerful] You're gonna be okay, I promise, I know the world was cruel sometimes. But every broken piece you carried Helped us build this life of mine. All the nights you thought you'd never survive, All the times you couldn't see the light, I promise you, it wasn't all for nothing, We made it through the darkest nights. So don't you give up on tomorrow, Don't let the past take you away. You spent your whole life trying to save me, Now let me tell you, we're gonna be okay. [Bridge – Young voice, almost whispering, gradually building] I forgive you for the things you couldn't change. I forgive you for the years you spent in pain. You were only trying to find your way, You were just a kid who needed someone to stay. And I know we didn't get the life we pictured, But somehow we became someone we can love. If I could see the future back then, I'd tell that little boy to never give up. Because someday, We'll smile again. Someday, We'll understand. And all the pain that made us who we are Will finally feel like it had a plan. [Final Chorus – Full cinematic orchestration] You're gonna be okay, I promise! Just look how far we've come! We survived the things that tried to break us, And we're still standing, we're still young! Every scar was part of our story, Every tear was worth the fight. You thought you were just keeping me alive, But you gave us both a life. So take a breath, you've done enough now, You don't have to be so brave. The little boy you thought you'd lost Is still inside you, and he's okay. **[Outro – Piano only, soft childlike vocals]** Hey, mister... Can I tell you something? I'm not disappointed in you. I'm not ashamed of you. I'm proud of you. You kept going when I was scared. You kept dreaming when I couldn't see. And even when you thought you lost me... You never did. I'm still here. And we're gonna be okay.
