Dusty attic corners, childhood faded low
Polaroids and whispers, places I don’t know
Used to build my castles, out of blankets, soft and deep
Now the walls are concrete, secrets that I keep
Remember climbing fences, scraped knees, and sun lit days?
Treated dreams for deadlines, in a haze, grown-up maze
Lost the spark, the laughter, the wild and open grace
A hollow echo whispered, in this empty, lonely space
Then you came, a sunrise, breaking through the gray
A gentle, steady rhythm, washed the shadows all the way
You saw the little girl, the one I’ve left behind
And held her hands so softly, slowly, peace I’d find
You painted skies with colors, I thought I’d lost for good
Reminded me of magic, understood, understood
Shattered pieces, broken, mirrored on the floor
Trying to assemble, what didn’t fit no more
Built a Fortress around me, brick by weary brick
Afraid to feel the feeling, scared to let it stick
The weight of expectations, a heavy, silent chain
Forgot the simple pleasures, the sunshine and rain
But you, you saw the cracks, the places I concealed
And whispered words of comfort, slowly, they were healed
Then you came, a sunrise, breaking through the gray
A gentle, steady rhythm, washed the shadows all away
You saw the little girl, the one I left behind
And held her hand so softly, slowly, peace I’d find
You painted skies with colors, I thought I’d lost for good
Reminded me of magic, understood, understood
Now the laughter is coming back, a whisper in the breeze
The little girl is dancing, underneath the willow tree
A sense of sweet surrender, a feeling soft and deep
The promises of childhood, the secrets I can keep
Then you came, a sunrise, breaking through the gray
A gentle, steady rhythm, washed the shadows all you saw the little girl, the one I left behind
And held her hand so softly, slow slowly, peace id find
You painted skies with colors, I thought I’d lost for good
Reminded me of magic, understood understood
Mmmm, understood….
The light you brought, it’s understood…
Slow slowly, I’m coming home ……
Back to where I belong ….
