{intimate fingerpicked acoustic guitar intro} (hummmmm) {warm room resonance}
Hey Aliyah,
my little best friend
You've seen the storm,
felt the bitter wind
But underneath
that quiet grace
Is a strength that time cannot erase
{soft cello entry}
Oh, you are stronger than you think,
my dear
Through every obstacle, I'm standing near
Never give up,
keep fighting the fight
I will always be your guiding light
(always here, yeah) {subtle brush snare and upright bass}
You
are so brave,
despite what you've known
Facing the challenges that you've been shown
Just know you never walk this path alone
In my heart, you've always found a home {piano chords entering softly}
Oh, you are stronger than you think,
my dear
Through every obstacle, I'm standing near
Never give up, keep fighting the fight
I will always be your guiding light
{full acoustic
band swell} I love you,
my little best friend
Always here, until the very end
Never give up... (hummmmm)
{acoustic guitar fades out to silence}
