Little Burden

Light folds you to me
I hold you in new sheets
I see her in you
I follow you into sleep

And I must
And I will

I'm still here
Just you and me, little one
I'm still here
Never let go

Calm. There's more time than you know
Slow. Don't grow just yet
Stay right here
Stay with me

And I must
And I will

I'm still here
Just you and me, little one
I'm still here
I'll never let go, I swear
Still here

I am better, now
Can you, little burden, show me how?
I swear by her eyes that you won't be alone
And I will,
I will build a home
I will, with these hands, will build a home
