Verse 1 (soft, reflective melody)
Hey little ones, I hope you see the light
I’ve walked these streets, I’ve fought a million fights
Every scar I carry, every tear I shed
Was for brighter mornings, for the path ahead
You’re my sunrise breaking after darkest nights
The reason I keep pushing, keep chasing what’s right
If you ever feel lost, or shadows cloud your day
Know I’m right behind you, I’ll help you find the way
Pre-Chorus (build slightly, hopeful)
I may not have all answers, may not always know the plan
But I promise you my heart, I’m your biggest fan
Chorus (full, uplifting)
Dear kids — you are my reason, you’re why I stand tall
Dear kids — I’ll catch you if you stumble, help you if you fall
Dear kids — take your dreams, hold ’em close and don’t let go
Because I love you more than words can show
Verse 2 (gentle, emotional)
Some days the world will whisper things to shake your hope
You’ll see the cracks in roads, the weight of trying just to cope
But remember this: your worth’s not measured by the things you own
It’s in how you carry kindness, how you let your true self show
When someone tells you you’re too small to change the world around
Tell them look again — heroes don’t need capes or crowns
They just need a heart that’s open, a voice that dares to speak
Stand tall, stand proud, stay loving even when life’s bleak
Pre-Chorus (same as before)
I might not build you castles, might not promise fancy gold
But I give you love unbroken — stronger than you’ll ever know
Chorus (full, repeat)
Dear kids — you are my reason, you’re why I stand tall
Dear kids — I’ll catch you if you stumble, help you if you fall
Dear kids — take your dreams, hold ’em close and don’t let go
Because I love you more than words can show
Bridge (soft, intimate, emotional rise)
When I’m older, when the nights are long and memories fade
Know you were my brightest chapter — the light that guided me each day
Carry each other’s hands, be the hope I couldn’t find
In a world that tries to break you — keep love alive, and keep your mind
Chorus (repeat, big finish)
Dear kids — you are my reason, you’re why I stand tall
Dear kids — I’ll catch you if you stumble, help you if you fall
Dear kids — take your dreams, hold ’em close and don’t let go
Because I love you more than words can show
Outro (soft, tender fade)
So here’s my letter, here’s my song — for you, my heart, my light
Grow strong, stay true — and know I’m proud you’re by my side
