Little bird by the window light
You were barely seven summers old
Your hands still learning how to write
Your stories not yet told
The world was loud outside our door
But you were quiet as the rain
You asked me what the fighting's for
I never could explain
If the wind shakes the maple leaves
And the night feels long and cold
Know every road you walk
Will lead somewhere brave and bold
And when the world feels much too wide
And shadows crowd your room
Close your eyes and step outside
I'll meet you in the Moon
Oh
Oh
You'll grow tall in borrowed years
Stronger than you know
Carry love through all your fears
Everywhere you go
And when you hear the morning break
Soft against your skin
That's the promise that I make
I'm still there within
