Shining for Elias

Yeah… This one right here is for my little nephew Elias,

My little baby boy,

my little superstar.

From the day you came into this world,

You brought a kind of love nobody could explain.

And this is your story… Let’s go.

Little Elias, look at you now,

Growing every day, making everybody proud,

Tiny little hands, but a heart so strong,

Every time you smile,

you can’t do no wrong.

From a little baby laying in somebody’s arms,

To crawling around causing all kinds of harm,

Playing with your tablet,

watching your shows, Getting into everything wherever you go.

You got that little smile that can brighten the room,

Even when everybody’s tired,

you make the love bloom,

You don’t gotta say much,

you just look our way,

And somehow you make everybody’s problems fade. Oh

Elias,

little Elias, You’re a blessing that was sent right to us,

From the moment you arrived,

You put so much love inside our lives.

Little Elias, keep shining bright,

You’re our little superstar tonight,

No matter how big you grow,

Just know that everybody loves you so.

I remember when you were so tiny,

Everybody watching you, praying so highly,

You had to be strong before you even knew,

And look at you now—you made it through.

There were days when everybody had to pray,

Hoping you would keep getting stronger every day,

But you showed everybody what a fighter could be,

A little warrior with a big destiny.

You went through things a baby shouldn’t have to face,

But you kept that strength and kept your little grace,

And now when I look at the pictures of you,

I see that little fighter that everybody knew.

Open-heart journey, but you never gave in,

You fought your way forward,

and you had to win,

And now you’re growing,

one day at a time,

Turning every little moment into a memory divine.

Ayy! E-L-I-A-S! Everybody knows that he’s the best!

Little dude stepping with his tiny feet,

Everywhere he goes, he makes the family complete.

Got the baby clothes,

got the little shoes,

Got everybody watching everything you do,

You see some snacks?

You better grab those quick!

Because little Elias gonna get his pick!

“Where’s Elias?” “He’s over there!” Running around like he owns the chair!

Playing with the tablet,

watching cartoons, Five minutes later,

he’s dancing around the room!

Got the hair all crazy,

looking so cute, Little man walking around in his little suit,

Sometimes he’s quiet, sometimes he’s loud,

But either way, he makes the whole family proud.

And if the world ever gets too hard,

Remember you’ve always been somebody’s star,

If you ever feel lost,

just look around, There’s a whole lot of love whenever you’re down.

You’re stronger than you know,

You’ve already shown us so,

And wherever life may take you,

There’s one thing that’ll always stay true… Oh Elias,

little Elias,

You’re a blessing that was sent right to us,

From the moment you arrived,

You put so much love inside our lives.

Little Elias, keep shining bright,

You’re our little superstar tonight,

No matter how big you grow,

Just know that everybody loves you
