Song lyrics first written December 16th, 2007
Author’s Note: Don’t mind me, I’m just searching my ancient hoard for a song I wrote when I was sixteen about a hypothetical little sister. These song lyrics are meant to be something of a soft piano ballad, but I also imagined an electronic dance remix because that’s just how my brain works. I dug up this piece because I remember it being something I was proud of at the time and it does hit a squishy place in my soul to this day. You are invited to enjoy.
Endless alley, snowy cold,
Trials like rain, and toils so old,
Hopeless tears, Forgotten cries,
Little princess, barely alive,
Did you feel abandoned?
Did you try to walk alone?
Trying to find the path of heaven,
Just want to go home.
So baby sister, hold my hand,
And I promise we’ll make it through,
In the darkness, I’ll light a candle,
And I will be watching over you,
Baby sister, don’t be afraid,
Trust me to lead the way,
Baby sister, hold my hand,
And everything will be okay.
Moving forward may take all your faith,
And the sky seems not to give a spark of grace,
But though the road is hard and it seems so far,
Don’t forget how to hope and let time heal every scar.
Baby sister, hold my hand,
And I promise we’ll make it through,
In the darkness, I’ll light a candle,
And I will be watching over you,
Baby sister, don’t be afraid,
Trust me to lead the way,
Baby sister, hold my hand,
And everything will be okay.
Don’t dwell on times that are gone,
Stand your ground when it seems there will be no dawn,
To every night there is an end,
In every heartbreak, You have a friend.
Baby sister, hold my hand,
And I promise we’ll make it through,
In the darkness, I’ll light a candle,
And I will be watching over you,
Baby sister, don’t be afraid,
Trust me to lead the way,
Baby sister, hold my hand,
And everything will be okay.
