Inner Child

Little girl
Don\'t carry the weight of the world 
All by yourself 
Let me help, while you rest and heal
You know I have never left
And never will

Oh little one
Let go of the burden of the unknown
All will be okay, in time 
Just look at how far you\'ve come
Keep your head up and enjoy the sun
The rest should be easy and fun

My inner child
I see you and I\'m proud
You\'re not invisible
Take my hand and feel my warmth
Who cares if I\'m all that you have 
I\'ll always make you feel seen and loved

You are special
You are enough
Never let them make you feel what you\'re not 
They can all come and go 
But as long as you got me
Please don\'t ever feel alone

My little girl
I know you\'re scared
And so was I
But I got stronger for you
Nothing shall hurt you now, not on my watch
I promise you my child, everything will be alright
