Nana Is My Savior

[Verse 1]
When the world feels heavy
And I can't find my feet
You're there on the front porch
Savin' me a seat
You listen to my worries
Like they're raindrops on your sleeve
You smile and say "you're stronger
Than you ever will believe"
[Chorus]
My nana is my savior
She helps me through everything I need
When my heart starts breaking
You’re the one who helps it breathe
Every hug a little healing
Every word a little peace
My nana is my savior
You bring me back to me
[Verse 2]
You fold my fear like laundry
Stack it neatly on the side
Tell me how you made it
Through your own storms and nights
You circle dates on calendars
Of all the dreams I chase
Then kiss my forehead softly
Say
"go on
Take your place"
[Chorus]
My nana is my savior
She helps me through everything I need
When my heart starts breaking
You’re the one who helps it breathe
Every hug a little healing
Every word a little peace
My nana is my savior
You bring me back to me
[Bridge]
One day I’ll tell my children
The stories that you gave
The way you turned my hopeless
Into courage I could wage
And when they ask what saving
Ever looked like to me
I’ll say
"it looked like nana
With her arms around my grief" (oh)
[Chorus]
My nana is my savior
She helps me through everything I need
When my heart starts breaking
You’re the one who helps it breathe
Every hug a little healing
Every word a little peace
My nana is my savior
You bring me back to me

Warm acoustic pop ballad with female vocals; gentle fingerpicked guitar and soft piano, subtle brushed drums entering on the first chorus. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and a simple sing-along hook. Light bass and glockenspiel touches in the bridge to lift the emotion, then a tender, stripped-down final chorus.
