[Intro]
Mic in my hand
But my mind on you
Spotlight bright
Still, I see your room
[Verse 1]
Used to wake up heavy
Didn’t wanna see the sun
Counting reasons just to quit
I could barely find one
Then the test turned blue
Shaking hands,
Had a thousand doubts
Still, I knew what it is
Tiny kicks in the night
Pulled me back from the edge
Packed my fears in a box
You became my pledge
Yeah, the world felt loud
I was screaming inside
Till I heard your first cry
And it quieted my mind (oh)
[Chorus]
You saved my life, little man
Way before you ever grabbed my hand
Didn’t know how broken I was then
Till you laughed, and I could breathe again
You saved my life, little man
Every “mama” pulled me back to land
You don’t see the tears I hide at night
’Cause you turned my darkness into light
[Verse 2]
Kissing you, calling it blessed
Every “why” that you ask Every “thank you mama” that you say
Makes me learn, makes me grow
I was stuck in my past
Now I’m watching you glow
Little shoes by the door
Tiny socks in the wash
You run circles round my pain
Turn the hard days soft
I still break sometimes
In the shower, I cry
But I dry my face fast
’Cause you need my smile
[Chorus]
You saved my life, little man
Way before you ever grabbed my hand
Didn’t know how broken I was then
Till you laughed, and I could breathe again
You saved my life, little man
Every “mama” pulled me back to land
You don’t see the tears I hide at night
’Cause you turned my darkness into light
[Bridge]
One day you’ll be taller than me
Talking big dreams, planning to leave
If you ever feel lost, look back and see
You were my reason to stay, now let me be yours, please (yeah)
[Chorus]
You saved my life, little man
Way before you ever grabbed my hand
Didn’t know how broken I was then
Till you laughed, and I could breathe again
You saved my life, little man
Every “mama” pulled me back to land
If you ever doubt what your heart is worth
Just know you saved a soul on this earth
