[Intro]
Used to run these streets alone
Chasin’ every empty throne
Then you showed up, tiny hands
Now I’m building bigger plans (yeah)
[Verse 1]
From the first cry
I knew my ego died
All that wild in me
Turned to armor by your side
Late nights, two jobs
Eyes red, still alive
Every tear on my shirt
Got me learning how to thrive
They said I’d lose my fire
Said my dreams would fade and fall
But I just switched my battlefield
Now I’m fighting for us all
I’m the storm and I’m the shelter
I’m the answer when you call
Little queen on my hip
Watch us walk through every wall (walk)
[Chorus]
You’re my perfect little hurricane
Small hands, big change
Came and rearranged my name
Turned my hurt into grace
Yeah, I’m stronger ’cause I’m your mom
Every scar turned into a song
You’re the reason I stay brave
Perfect daughter, perfect wave
[Verse 2]
I see my younger self
In your stubborn little stare
All the times they told me “less”
I’ll never let you hear that there
You’re allowed to take up space
You’re allowed to be too loud
I’ll be clappin’ from the back row
Till you’re standin’ to the clouds
Diaper bag, big dreams
Both strapped on my back
One hand holdin’ you
Other hand on the map
I’mma show you how to fall
How to rise, how to bend
You ain’t broken, you’re becoming
Every start feels like an end (yeah)
[Chorus]
You’re my perfect little hurricane
Small hands, big change
Came and rearranged my name
Turned my hurt into grace
Yeah, I’m stronger ’cause I’m your mom
Every scar turned into a song
You’re the reason I stay brave
Perfect daughter, perfect wave
[Bridge]
If the world ever tells you
You’re too much or not enough (nah)
I’ll be right behind you
Stacked up like a wall of love (hey)
You can crash, you can burn
You can dance through the pain
Baby, I was just a woman
Till you made me rise again (rise again)
[Chorus]
You’re my perfect little hurricane
Small hands, big change
Came and rearranged my name
Turned my hurt into grace
Yeah, I’m stronger ’cause I’m your mom
Every scar turned into a song
You’re the reason I stay brave
Perfect daughter, perfect wave
[Outro]
From the first cry
To your first big dream
You made a soldier
Out of me, out of me (yeah)
