[Verse 1]
You came in crying
Tiny storm in my arms
Hospital lights buzzing low
But you were all the charm (oh yeah)
Your mama’s tired smile
My hands still shaking too
Whole world shrank to your fingers
Gripping one knuckle through
[Chorus]
Little hands, big hallelujah
Little feet, you shake my ground
Every breath you take is music
I never knew I’d found
Little hands, big hallelujah
Turn my midnight into gold
Every tear, every laugh
Writes a story being told
[Verse 2]
We drove home crawling
Snow stuck to our shoes
Coffee cold on the counter
Diapers in the living room blues
Sleepless nights like a record
Spinning the same old song
But every soft, small heartbeat
Kept the groove rolling on (hey)
[Chorus]
Little hands, big hallelujah
Little feet, you shake my ground
Every breath you take is music
I never knew I’d found
Little hands, big hallelujah
Turn my midnight into gold
Every tear, every laugh
Writes a story being told
[Bridge]
One day you’ll ask me
“Was I worth the change?”
I’ll point to the photos
Walls we had to rearrange
Say, “Every blues I carried
Turned sweet the day you came”
You put light on my losses
You put a last name to my name
[Chorus]
Little hands, big hallelujah
Little feet, you shake my ground
Every breath you take is music
I never knew I’d found
Little hands, big hallelujah
From the crib to the sky above
Every note that you become
Is a lifetime made of love
