Gmaj7
Humble child, promise I’ll be small
I won’t take up space at all

Remember gratitude, you tell me I’m great when I don’t cry and I never ask for
nothing

Ground yourself, remember your place
You don’t have a voice yet, you don’t get to say

Promise it’s the best if you never ask for nothing

Cause baby you’re so special
Baby you’re so special

Nightmares blend into my daydreams

I’m everything you taught me
I’m everything you wanted me to be
Wanted me to be

Perfection, hide under my blankie, for one moment of safety
I’m everything you wanted me to be
Wanted me to be
