Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1
I found out and I froze
Couldn’t tell if it was joy or ghosts
Hands shaking, staring at those lines
Feeling hope and fear at the same time
Everybody says, “Just breathe, just trust”
But they don’t know what grief does to us
When you’ve loved and lost, the whole world shifts
Even blessings come wrapped up in risks

Pre-Chorus
So I whisper to the dark
Please be kind to this little heart

Chorus
Tiny heart, big fear
Please stay with me, please stay here
I’m trying not to drown in yesterday
Trying to let tomorrow find its way
I wanna love you loud, but I’m scared to break
Scared that joy is something I can’t take
Tiny heart, can you hear me through my tears?
I’ve got so much love… and so much fear

Verse 2
I check every feeling, every pain
Every little change inside my veins
Am I okay? Are you alright?
I ask those questions every night
I wanna dream of names and nursery lights
But grief still visits me sometimes
Still sits beside me in the dark
Still trembles with my beating heart

Pre-Chorus
And I know this love is real
Even if I’m scared to feel

Chorus
Tiny heart, big fear
Please stay with me, please stay here
I’m trying not to drown in yesterday
Trying to let tomorrow find its way
I wanna love you loud, but I’m scared to break
Scared that joy is something I can’t take
Tiny heart, can you hear me through my tears?
I’ve got so much love… and so much fear

Bridge
But maybe brave ain’t being calm
Maybe brave is trembling on
Maybe faith is holding on
Even when the night feels long
So if you’re listening deep inside
Know your mama’s gonna try
To love you through the fear and ache
Through every prayer and every shake

Final Chorus
Tiny heart, big fear
Still I need you, still I’m here
I’ll love you softly, day by day
Until the light outgrows the pain
And if my voice is weak, it’s true
It’s only ‘cause I already love you
Tiny heart, can you hear me through my tears?
I’ve got so much hope… and so much fear
