[Intro]
Yeah, it's been a long time coming, Miyah, yeah
Time to heal, to find our way back home
[Verse 1]
Nine years, I was lost in my youth, caught in my mistakes
Left you in the silence, heart heavy, how much my heart aches
Remembering the night you first arrived, tiny hands, eyes so bright
Wished I could turn back time, hold you close every night
Walking away, thought I was grown, playing games that I regret
Now I see the pain I caused, and I can't forget
Girl, I missed your first steps, missed your first words
Now I wanna be the father you deserved, be the voice that feels heard
Thought I was smart, thought I was fine, but I was blind
Caught in my own world, leaving my daughter behind
So I stand here, pen in hand, trying to make amends
Hoping you can forgive me, my little girl, my best friend
[Pre-Chorus]
Miyah, walking back through the shadows of my past
Trying to find a way to make this moment last
Girl, I’m here, I’m yours, no more pretending
This is a new chapter, a new beginning
[Chorus]
Reconnect, I wanna be your guide, your protector, your father
Hold you close, never let go, no matter what I gotta do, I got you, Miyah
Lost nine years, but I’m here now, ready to rewrite our story
With love and hope, I vow to be the father you deserved, Miyah
[Verse 2]
Looking in your eyes, I see the spark, the star I missed
Promise to make up for the time, wipe away the mist
Been away too long, but I’m more than a shadow in your frame
Today I stand, ready to heal the wounds, to call your name in the rain
No more apologies, only actions speak loud
Building trust, brick by brick, I want us to be proud
Your smile is my redemption, your voice my melody
Together we rise, a new dawn, rewriting our trilogy
I know I walked away, but I’m here to stay, no more retreat
This bond’s too precious, Miyah, our hearts are meant to beat
[Pre-Chorus]
Miyah, walking back through the shadows of my past
Trying to find a way to make this moment last
Girl, I’m here, I’m yours, no more pretending
This is a new chapter, a new beginning
[Chorus]
Reconnect, I wanna be your guide, your protector, your father
Hold you close, never let go, no matter what I gotta do, I got you, Miyah
Lost nine years, but I’m here now, ready to rewrite our story
With love and hope, I vow to be the father you deserved, Miyah
[Bridge]
Forever's a promise, and I’m ready to keep it
Your future’s my mission, girl, I gotta reach it
Every mistake I made, I own, I admit it
But now I’m here, to love you, to get it
[Outro]
Miyah, my daughter, my heart, my soul
Together we’re stronger, we’re finally whole
Nine years apart, but now I’m home
With love, with hope, mitakuye oyasin, we're never alone
