[Verse 1] I came with restless hands, And too much fire inside, You never asked me to be still, You only stayed beside. I learned to wrap the wounds, To mix the herbs just right, To raise my voice when someone hurts, And hold a hand at night. [Pre-Chorus] You know my little storms, You know when I pretend, That I don't need a gentle touch, Or someone I can depend on. [Chorus] You're not the mother I was born to, But somehow you became The arms I run into for comfort, The voice that calls my name. And even when I steal you For one more hug or two, You sigh and say I'm troublesome... But I know you love me too. [Instrumental — soft flute, strings, gentle acoustic rhythm] [Verse 2] Some days I bring the medicine, Some days I bring the bread, Some days I make the whole clan laugh With nonsense in my head. I'm small, but I can still be strong, When someone needs me near, You taught me kindness isn't weak, And courage isn't fear. [Chorus] You're not the mother I was born to, But somehow you became The arms I run into for comfort, The voice that calls my name. And even when I steal you For one more hug or two, You sigh and say I'm troublesome... But I know you love me too. [Instrumental — warm strings, light piano] [Bridge] Maybe family isn't blood, Maybe home is something grown, In every cup, in every laugh, In knowing I'm not alone. So if the world becomes too heavy, And the nights are hard to bear, I'll find you, wrap my arms around you... And simply keep you there. [Final Chorus — softer, emotional] You're my second mother, Lyra, I finally understand, You never tried to change my heart, You only held my hand. And if I steal you one more time Before the day is through... Just blame the little healer Who got too attached to you. [Outro — instrumental, soft humming]
