Lyrics
[Soft Felt Rhodes Intro]
you'll be the home you couldn't find
I'd tell you the pain won't stay.
[Verse 1]
the tears were just the river's start, I remember.
the broken thing still learns to sing, still and tender.
the question you choke on finds its answer, a quiet ember.
you'll outgrow the room that shrank you, now or never.
[Pre-Chorus]
the road you fear is the one that holds, pulling me under.
the kids who laughed will fade like fog, I'm not done, I'm not done.
[Chorus]
little one, you'll be ok.
your small hands will build a life, holding the sound.
the girl you are becomes the shore, spinning me round.
little one, you'll be ok.
[Verse 2]
I'd tell you the pain won't stay, different weather.
the broken thing still learns to sing, we're still together.
you'll outgrow the room that shrank you
light as a feather.
the kids who laughed will fade like fog, now or never.
[Chorus]
little one, you'll be ok.
your small hands will build a life, holding the sound.
the girl you are becomes the shore, spinning me round.
little one, you'll be ok.
[Bridge]
Oh, the tears were just the river's start, let it mend, let it mend.
the question you choke on finds its answer, now I'm safe, now I'm safe.
the road you fear is the one that holds — I am whole, I am whole.
[Chorus]
little one, you'll be ok.
your small hands will build a life, holding the sound.
the girl you are becomes the shore, spinning me round.
little one, you'll be ok.
[Outro]
you'll be the home you couldn't find...
little one, you'll be ok.
[Fade Out]
