Lyrics

I know it's not easy now
You feel covered in dark clouds
You can't see what I see
That there's light in the darkest things

So Little One,
hold my hand and let's run
Find a spot on the hill
Where we can be still
Feel the sun on our face
And the wind in our hair
And cry, baby cry
Till the clouds disappear

I know you're tryin' to be strong
And figure out where things went wrong
But please
Trust me
When I say there's beauty in the painful things

So Little One,
hold my hand and let's run
Find a spot on the hill
Where we can be still
Feel the sun on our face
And the wind in our hair
And cry, baby cry
Till the clouds disappear

Years will go by
And your life will change
But you and me
We'll always be the same
And when you start to feel it rain
Remember the sun

So Little One,
hold my hand and let's run
Find a spot on the hill
Where we can be still
Feel the sun on your face
And the wind in our hair
And cry, baby cry
Till the clouds disappear
