[Verse 1]
I found him in the corner where the shadows play
A quiet little echo of a yesterday
His eyes were filled with questions no one cared to say
But I stayed
I stayed
[Prechorus]
He asked me why the rain kept falling
Why the sun would hide away
I told him storms are just the heavens calling
For brighter days
[Chorus]
Oh
The child within
He's learning to grin
After years of silence
The healing begins
Hold his hand
Let him spin
The child within is free again
[Verse 2]
He built a fortress made of sticks and trembling fears
Each wall a story carved in rivers made of tears
But brick by brick
We laughed and tore it down in cheers
And he smiled
Oh he smiled
[Prechorus]
He asked me why the world seemed colder
Why the nights would stretch so long
I told him love grows bolder
When it’s been gone
[Chorus]
Oh
The child within
He's learning to grin
After years of silence
The healing begins
Hold his hand
Let him spin
The child within is free again
