little heart that’s in my care,
oh little heart I feel you there,
not fully formed yet,
barely dressed,
oh little heart I am impressed
by how intensely you can love and feel,
experiment with clouds and steel,
leap up behind the driving wheel
oh little heart I’ll keep you safe.
beating strong, you run the race,
determination etches along your face
in lines of laughter,
in scratches of pain
oh little heart it’s not in vain,
just come to me and sit beside,
look, here’s the map; I’ll be your guide,
and if you’re afraid, I know just where to hide -
oh little heart I’ll keep you safe.
little heart you’re so so young
oh little heart it’s just begun
I know it’s scary,
I know it’s dark,
but little heart you’re a kindling spark
and all you need is a breath of love
and your soul will be soaring with the stars above.
yes, precious heart, you’re perfect,
yes, little heart, come,
arms wide, mine are too, wider than I ever knew
they could stretch. make friends
and share your life, little heart:
you will always be safe with me.
