The whole world and more

Description

(Verse 1)
There were nights my chest felt hollow, hollow as a room,
Walking through the quiet, counting shadows with the moon.
Then tiny footsteps filled the hallway, a soft, familiar sound —
My heart, it found a reason; my world turned slowly round.

(Pre-Chorus)
Small hands with honest questions, eyes that know the light,
They taught me how to steady, how to trust the morning bright.

(Chorus)
My heart really needed my kids — like rivers need the shore,
Those beautiful little souls are my whole world and more.
They mend the worn-out places, stitch hope into my days,
My heart learned how to hold them in a thousand gentle ways.

(Verse 2)
Lunchbox notes and crooked drawings taped upon the wall,
Laughter like a sunrise knocking every shadow small.
When the day felt heavy, they turned sorrow into song,
With every scraped-knee promise, I found where I belong.

(Pre-Chorus)
Their tiny hands, their boldness, the way they dare to dream,
They show me how to soften, how to brave what life may mean.

(Chorus)
My heart really needed my kids — like rivers need the shore,
Those beautiful little souls are my whole world and more.
They mend the worn-out places, stitch hope into my days,
My heart learned how to hold them in a thousand gentle ways.

(Bridge — quiet, honest)
When storms come rolling closer and the maps we trusted fray,
They are the steady lighthouse that will never fade away.
I am their keeper, and they’re mine — a simple, sacred chore:
To love without condition, to show them open doors.

(Chorus — lifted)
My heart really needed my kids — like rivers need the shore,
Those beautiful little souls are my whole world and more.
They teach me how to forgive, to celebrate and soar,
My heart found its heartbeat in the echo of their roar.

(Outro — soft)
So here beneath the ordinary, beneath the day-to-day,
I’ll hold their small forever like the sun that finds its way.
My heart really needed my kids — and every morning proves it true:
Those beautiful little souls, my compass, my home — my whole world and more.
