"Little One" lyrics

Half of my heart lives outside of my body
The other half lives in my chest
And I'm terrified about all that could happen
I don't know if I know what's best

'Cause I want you to see the world
But I don't wanna see you get hurt
Oh, my little one
Wish you could stay young

When I look at you, well, I see my reflection
Before all the pain and the scars
And I wish I had answers to all of your questions
Like, "Do we end up in the stars?"

Yeah, I want you to see the world
But I don't wanna see you get hurt
Oh, my little one
Wish you could stay young, hmm

I wish I could hold your innocence
Like your tiny hand in mine
But I know that I don't get to stop the hands of time
Darlin', I, I can't wait to see you fly
Oh, my little one
Wish you could stay young

Oh, my little one
Oh, my little one
Oh, my little one
Wish you could stay young
I love you, Mama
I love you, Mama
