Little Rayven Rock

[Verse 1]
Three years small
In dinosaur shoes
Chasing the birds
Spilling your juice
Car seat throne
Sticky hands
Crown
You’d say my name
Then fall back down
I still see you
In every aisle
Tiny cart driver
Crooked smile
I reach out
To fix your hair
But it’s just air
You’re not there
[Chorus]
Rock
Rayven
I love you
Do you hear me where you are?
You’re only three
You won’t remember
How I held you in my arms
Rock
Rayven
I love you
That’s the one thing they can’t take
If you forget my face someday
My love’s still carved into your name
(oh, Rayven)
[Verse 2]
Paperwork hell
Cold gray chairs
They signed a line
Like you weren’t there
Our blood’s a map
They tore in two
Stupid system
Still cuts through
She drove off
You watched me shrink
Through fogged glass
I couldn’t think
Now every park
Every blue swing set
I hear your laugh
Like a cassette
[Chorus]
Rock
Rayven
I love you
Do you hear me where you sleep?
You’re only three
You won’t remember
But I pray it sinks in deep
Rock
Rayven
I love you
When you run where I can’t go
If you forget my voice one day
I’ll still be singing to your soul
(oh, Rayven)
[Bridge]
Maybe one day
You’ll ask
“Who stayed?”
Hope someone tells you
I begged
I prayed
If you can’t find me
I’ll find you in dreams
In crayon clouds
And candy schemes
[Chorus]
Rock
Rayven
I love you
Every mile
Every year
You’re only three
You won’t remember
So I’ll remember for us here
Rock
Rayven
I love you
Every breath
Every beat
If you forget my name someday
My heart will wait in your heartbeat
(oh Rayven, oh Rayven)

rock, Raw alt-rock ballad with male vocals, overdriven guitars and roomy drums. First verse almost whisper-sung over clean guitar, then chorus slams in with wide power chords and doubled vocals. Second verse adds fuzz bass and a brighter drum groove; bridge strips to voice and distant guitar swells before a final, shout-along chorus that pushes the vocal into a cracking, emotional edge.
