Hey little one, if you feel in disarray
And you don't know up from down, we're far away

Hey little one, it's more our fault than yours
The life and breath that flow through you
It was not your choice

Hey little one, you're getting bigger all the time
It won't be very long before your shadow eclipses mine
And you're little now, but you will create the day
That we never knew could be so, be thoughtful on your way

Hey little one, what you do to the world
Watching over you at night, you're our awesome little girl
And even when we think that the world is closing in
It has no chance against the things that you've already been

And have yet to be, beyond me
Outside me, on your own

Hey little one, tonight it's you and me
I'll order what you like and we'll watch something on a screen

I love a long night of waking from my dreams
'Cause I lay there in the quiet and it's like Christmas Eve
'Cause I love to wake to see you
