Rylee Bri

[soft] I held you once, so small, so new

Wrapped in blankets, I got to know you

The world was big, and you gave it light

Like the brightest star in the darkest night

Your tiny hands reached out to me

And suddenly, I could see

that it was you Rylee Bri--

And that this was meant to be--

[warm lift] You made me brave, you made me kind

You healed the parts I left behind

I gave you life, but you gave it too—

A world reborn when I met you [hold, slight falsetto overtone]

[Chorus – soaring, heartfelt | power belt, controlled vibrato] 🎶

[full voice]You are the prayer I didn’t speak

The missing piece I didn’t seek

You are my light, my sacred sound

The heartbeat when I’m breaking down [gentle catch on "breaking"]

You are my breath, my steady flame

The echo that will speak my name

You gave me love I’d never known—

[soften] I’m here for you, [tender, slow] you’re not alone 🎶

“I love you more,” you used to say

And somehow love grew more each day

I watched you grow, I let you roam

But you have always been my home [slight vibrato]

When I am weak, you lend me grace

You hold the light upon my face

You are a godsend made to be—

My little girl, who rescued me [tearful, aching tone]

[Chorus – deeper emotion | breathier delivery, rounder tone] 🎶

You are the prayer I didn’t speak

The lullaby I still repeat

You spin in circles, laughing wild

Barefoot grace, my fearless child

You are the gift I’ll always keep

A love that runs forever deep

You gave me more than words could say—

You light my life in every way 🎶 [crescendo, gentle fall at end]

And when you're grown, and I am gray

You’ll still be mine in every way

For love like this does not let go—

It only deepens as we grow

Remember this—your roots run deep

I’ll be the wind beneath your feet [soft belt, long sustain]

[Final Chorus – soaring | full voice, vibrato on long notes] 🎶

You are the prayer I could speak

The song I’ll sing when I’m asleep

You are the joy, the pain, the grace

The miracle I can’t replace

You are the verse God wrote in me

The bloom upon my family tree

You gave my soul its brightest wings—

My daughter… you are everything 🎶 [sustain, emotional vibrato, soft decay]

So take the world. Unfold your wings

I’ll be the wind beneath those things

And every step you rise above…

You’ll carry me—and all my love

🎤 My daughter… you are everything...

🎤 Mmm... You gave my heart its wings...!
