Prompt / Lyrics
[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
