Lyrics
[Soft Felt Piano Intro]
the crossing signal blinks its patient red, I can see.
tiny shoes scrape the painted white lines.
[Verse 1]
you tie my lace into a hopeful knot, slow and certain.
five small fingers count the cracks in the sidewalk, a faint hush.
we wait where the bell rings the start of your world, pause and breathe.
the gate swings open on a creaky morning hinge, I can see.
[Pre-Chorus]
every step you trust before you run, folding me near.
the crowd thins to just this small grip, I won't move, I won't move.
[Chorus]
your small hand in mine.
sunlight lands soft on your trusting crown, carrying us.
the road hums gentle beneath our matched pace, lifting the years.
your small hand in mine.
[Verse 2]
the bus stop sign tilts like a tired old friend, other mornings.
you draw a dog in the dust with one bare toe, we stayed close.
my pace shrinks down to the size of your own, easy as dawn.
the gate swings open on a creaky morning hinge, pause and breathe.
[Chorus]
your small hand in mine.
sunlight lands soft on your trusting crown, carrying us.
the road hums gentle beneath our matched pace, lifting the years.
your small hand in mine.
[Bridge]
Oh, you tie my lace into a hopeful knot, let it stay, let it stay.
five small fingers count the cracks in the sidewalk, I feel now, I feel now.
the gate swings open on a creaky morning hinge — I am yours, I am yours.
[Chorus]
your small hand in mine.
sunlight lands soft on your trusting crown, carrying us.
the road hums gentle beneath our matched pace, lifting the years.
your small hand in mine.
[Outro]
the crossing signal blinks its patient red...
your small hand in mine.
[Fade Out]
[End]
