[Verse 1]
I was three when the world fell apart,
Mom and dad tore our home in half.
A stranger came with a heavy hand,
Me and my brother learned to run, not stand.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I still hear the echoes in my head,
The cries, the fear, the things unsaid.
[Chorus]
But I was just a little wanderer,
Looking for a place called love.
Through broken doors and empty arms,
I carried hope I’d rise above.
Oh, I was just a little wanderer,
But I never lost my heart.
Through all the pain, I found my flame —
And it still burns in the dark.
[Verse 2]
At eight I ran to my father’s home,
But the bottles spoke, I felt alone.
At thirteen, found another door,
But love there meant to scrub the floor.
[Pre-Chorus]
Fairytales don’t come for me,
But ashes taught me how to breathe.
[Chorus]
’Cause I was just a little wanderer,
Looking for a place called love.
Through broken doors and empty arms,
I carried hope I’d rise above.
Oh, I was just a little wanderer,
But I never lost my heart.
Through all the pain, I found my flame —
And it still burns in the dark.
[Bridge]
Seventeen and out the door,
Chasing dreams I’d never known before.
Got lost in nights, in smoke and wine,
But somewhere there I drew the line.
[Verse 3]
At twenty-six I crossed the sea,
Left my ghosts in old concrete.
Found in Finland winter skies,
The strength to start a brand new life.
[Final Chorus]
I’m not that little wanderer,
I’ve built my place called love.
Through all the storms and lonely years,
I’ve learned what I’m made of.
No longer lost, I found my star,
It’s shining in my scars.
The little boy who ran from pain —
HE finally made it far.
[Outro – softly]
I was just a little wanderer…
But now I’ve found my home.
