Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I don’t know your face yet Don’t know your laugh or your cry But I’m saving little stories Like stars in a coffee can sky There’s a room with a half-built cradle Dust on the window light I talk to the air beside me And I say your name in my mind [Pre-Chorus] If you ever feel you’re drifting Like a feather out of place Remember there’s a porch light burning A pair of arms, a waiting space [Chorus] So come on down, little light of mine I’ve been making you a world in my spare time With crooked songs and Sunday rice Hand-me-down dreams and bad advice If you ever wonder where you belong You’re the chorus in my unfinished song I’ve been writing this love all my life Dear unborn child, little light [Verse 2] I’ve been learning how to listen To the quiet between my sins Trying to be the kind of man That you’d be proud to call your kin Got a list of the things I’ll tell you When the night feels too long, too loud How it’s fine to fall to pieces And still stand back up somehow [Pre-Chorus] If your heart gets heavy-hearted And the world feels sharp and strange Just remember every heartbreak Made me soft enough to change [Chorus] So come on down, little light of mine I’ve been making you a world in my spare time With kitchen dance steps, kitchen fights Making up, staying up, long talks at night If you ever wonder where you belong You’re the chorus in my unfinished song I’ve been writing this love all my life Dear unborn child, little light [Bridge] You don’t owe me any answers (oh no) You don’t have to turn out “right” Just be honest, be curious Leave your shadow in the sunlight If you come here loving someone I did not expect at all I’ll just pull another chair up Love you bigger than my faults [Chorus] So come on down, little light of mine I’ve been making you a world in my spare time With second chances, softer eyes Burnt-out days and brave tries If you ever wonder where you belong You’re the chorus in my unfinished song Every breath from now ’til the day I die Is a letter to you Dear unborn child, little light (little light)
