Little Shoulders

She floats into the kitchen jeans hugging on her 4-foot frame A sleepy stare, a mop of hair craves my embrace Grateful to pull her close, close the latest news Plastic oceans, raging fires, a world she'd never choose My arms fold 'round her shoulders and hug her bird like bones Tender wings will carry her to a future so unknown Little shoulders Are stronger than they look They'll move the mountains We never could Little shoulders will Save the world The little shoulders Of my little girl The little shoulders Of my little girl You're a girl who knows her mind and stands for what is fair On the playground with skipping ropes with teddy bears Right now, I'll hold you close, keep you steady The fight will soon be yours, you'll be ready Little shoulders Are stronger than they look They'll move the mountains We never could Little shoulders will Save the world The little shoulders Of my little girl The little shoulders Of my little girl If the storm swallows you like Daddy's shirts today Close your eyes, feel your faith, slowly find your the way Sing, dance, be one with joy, play the lost and sacred chords Catch the moon in your wings as you soar Little shoulders Are stronger than they look They'll move the mountains We never could Little shoulders will Save the world The little shoulders Of my little girl The little shoulders Of our little girls
