Little you

little wonder

Little wish

gentle thunder

You are mighty

you are small

You are ours

after all

Little star

with little wings

Let’s all dance

let’s all sing

You are life

and breath adored

You are us

and so much more

Little ember

with growing light

Feel our love

as we hold you tight

You are the birth of everything new

you are perfect

you are you!
