Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Peanut You were so small You fit in my shaking hands I swore I would stand that tall As long as this old heart can You learned how to walk on my shoes Laughing at how big they were I learned how to stand in your truth Every time I carried your hurt [Chorus] If one day I can’t be there by your side May fear vanish at your stride When the dark feels deeper than the night outside May fear vanish at your stride Keep this letter in your pocket when you cry Every word a hand for you to hold in time If I have to love you from the other side May fear vanish at your stride [Verse 2] Peanut I’ve watched you grow Turning “why?” into “I’ll try” You don’t always see what I know There is iron behind those eyes You think I’m the armor you wear Truth is You’ve been shielding me Every joke Every stubborn little prayer Has been teaching my heart how to leave [Chorus] If one day I can’t be there by your side May fear vanish at your stride When the dark feels deeper than the night outside May fear vanish at your stride Keep this letter in your pocket when you cry Every word a hand for you to hold in time If I have to love you from the other side May fear vanish at your stride [Bridge] You’ll hear my voice in the words you say You’ll feel my hands in the choices you make When you’re lost Look down at your own brave feet That’s where I’ll be That’s where I’ll be (oh) [Chorus] So if one day I can’t be there by your side May fear vanish at your stride When the road feels longer than your hopeful mind May fear vanish at your stride Keep this letter in your pocket when you fly Every line a light across the sky If I have to love you from the other side May fear vanish at your stride May fear vanish At your stride

Tender acoustic ballad in the spirit of emotive 2000s singer-songwriters; male vocals over intimate fingerpicked guitar and warm piano pads. Verses stay hushed and close-mic’d, building into a soaring, harmony-laced chorus. Subtle strings bloom on the second chorus for lift, with light percussion entering late for a gentle, cathartic swell before a soft, solo-guitar outro., beautiful, stride
