[Verse 1]
Ace in the doorway
Small shoes by the mat
You run in with that grin
And I’m done with the day like that
Little hands, big wonder
On my worn-out shirt
You say my name like magic
And it heals the hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
Every bruise gets quiet
Every fear steps back
When you reach for my hand
I know I’ve got that
[Chorus]
Ace, you’re my heartbeat
Ace, you’re my pride
Ace, you’re my brave little light
Right by my side
Ace, you’re my reason
Ace, you’re my song
No matter how the world moves
You keep me strong
(Ace, you keep me strong)
[Verse 2]
Back seat snack wrappers
Crayon marks on the wall
Tiny superhero socks
You make a kingdom out of small
You ask big questions
With cereal on your face
I laugh, then I think
Man, what a beautiful place
[Pre-Chorus]
Every dark thing
Loses its name
When you climb up laughing
And call me again
[Chorus]
Ace, you’re my heartbeat
Ace, you’re my pride
Ace, you’re my brave little light
Right by my side
Ace, you’re my reason
Ace, you’re my song
No matter how the world moves
You keep me strong
(Ace, you keep me strong)
[Bridge]
If you ever stumble
If your sky turns gray
I’ll be the one behind you
Steady every day
You’ll never have to wonder
Where your home will be
Ace, my little champion
You belong with me
[Chorus]
Ace, you’re my heartbeat
Ace, you’re my pride
Ace, you’re my brave little light
Right by my side
Ace, you’re my reason
Ace, you’re my song
No matter how the world moves
You keep me strong
(Ace, you keep me strong)
