You were younger, life was wild
Seven siblings, eldest child
Daddy working to make ends meet
Mama trying to keep the peace

You were holding, on your shoulders
A burden heavier than what is fair
No permission to let yourself feel anxious or scared

Let me love you right there
I love you right there

Growing older, nothing’s changed
Familiar pieces, rearranged
Overworking to keep yourself
From overthinking, it doesn’t help

If only you had another shoulder to lean on
An ear to bend and share
Your deepest fear that if I knew you truly, I could never dare

To love you right there
But I love you right there
I love you right there
I love you right there

I hear you say, if only you could be somebody else
Living in what you think your life should be
But you could be here, where you’re held
You’re not a mistake, you are not to blame
And peace is all you’re running from
As sure as you are breathing, you’d better be believing
You’re perfect as you are, ‘cause what you are is Love
What you are is Love

Newborn baby, something wild
Eyes of wonder, your only child
Growing quickly, take it in
Let it heal you, this new beginning

You know you’re holding, in your arms
Proof that light is shining everywhere
But it’s okay to let yourself feel anxious or scared

‘Cause she will love you right there
And you’ll love her right there
I love you right there
I love you right there
