Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – shimmering echo hum] My little light… You saved more of me than you’ll ever know… [Verse 1] I remember the day you were born— how everything inside me felt too loud and too quiet at the same time. I wasn’t ready, not really. Motherhood felt like a language I didn’t speak yet, one I worried I’d always mispronounce. But when you wrapped your tiny fingers around mine, I felt something settle— a softness I didn’t know I had left. Still, life kept piling itself onto me, layer by layer, until some nights I could barely hold myself upright. I tried to hide the storms behind closed doors, smiling so you could sleep, crying only when the hallway was empty. [Pre-Chorus] You always saw the world in lighter colors than the ones I carried. And I hope you know that every time I failed you, it wasn’t for lack of love— but because I didn’t know how to love myself yet. [Chorus] You were my quiet light glowing in the corners of my darkest days. If I ever made you feel like love was fragile, I swear it wasn’t you— just the echoes of old wounds I hadn’t healed. You were the one thing that ever felt steady… gentle… true. [Verse 2] Your father loved you in his own quiet way, though I know you saw the distance between us. Two people trying, two people breaking, still holding onto the same small miracle— you. We didn’t get everything right, but we tried in the only ways we knew. There were nights I watched you sleep and promised myself you’d never inherit my fears— even if I had to swallow them whole. You deserved the kind of strength I was still learning how to build. [Bridge – whispery clarity] If you ever doubt your worth— come find me. I will remind you until the fear melts. [Chorus – layered harmonies] You were my quiet light in the shadows of my days. You softened the world for me— you still do. And if I ever dimmed your glow, please forgive the woman I was growing through. [Outro – gentle echo swell] My little light… you shine brighter than I ever could.
