to the children we long for

Got this voice
but you’re not here to sing to
Got this voice
why no one to sing to
want to sing a lullaby
want to sing a lullaby to you

Got these arms
not long enough to reach you
Got these arms
oh how they’d wrap around you
want to raise you way up high
want to hold you close and keep you warm

Got these hands
they’re strong enough to hold you
Got these hands
but there’s no way to touch you
want to dry your every tear
want to tickle you and make you laugh

Got these ears
oh how they ache from silence
Got these ears
they crane each day to hear you
want to be the ones you talk to
want to give you a shoulder to cry on

Got these eyes
they look but they can’t find you
Got these eyes
oh how they want to see you
want to watch you live and grow
want to kiss you like a butterfly

Got this home
but no one in your bedroom
Got this home
there’s still room at the table
want to spend our days with you
want to share this safe, sweet place with you

Got this heart
it aches that it can’t find you
Got this heart
but you’re not here to love us
want to spend our days with you
want to raise you way up high
want to throw a ball with you
want to tickle you and make you laugh
want to hold you close to me
want to dry your every tear
want to share this place with you
want to watch you live and grow
want to kiss you like a butterfly
want to sing a lullaby
