lyrics

Little girl with a heart so pure
You carry the weight of the world on your tiny shoulders
With a smile that could end a war
Sparkle in your eye so hopeful, hopeful
All alone to pick up the pieces
While you should be busy daydreamin’ oh

All that you needed was a little understandin’
Prayin’ for a little love
How could you know that some people take advantage
Make you feel like you’re not enough oh
I’m sorry that it took me so long
You won’t always have to be strong
Now won’t you take my hand

Together we are stronger
And now that I know better
I promise to protect you
Through the stormy weather

There’s too much pressure to keep up appearances
I used to lie and keep denyin’
Bury the truth, internalizin’ my pain
But I never wanted to shame you
Never intended to blame you
And despite all that you been through
You were brave enough to stay true

When all that you needed was a little understandin’
Prayin’ for a little love
How could you know that some people take advantage
Make you feel like you’re not enough oh
I’m sorry that it took me so long

You won’t always have to be strong
Now won’t you take my hand

Together we are stronger
And now that I know better
I promise to protect you
Through the stormy weather

I understand you now
And baby I can feel you now
And you can let the tears fall down
We made it through somehow

Together we are stronger
(Hey together we are)
And now that I know better
I promise to protect you
(I promise to protect you, I promise to protect you)
Through the stormy weather
Through the stormy weather

Together we are stronger
(Together we are stronger)
And now that I know better
(Now that I know better)
I promise to protect you
(Oh, oh protect protect you)
Through the stormy weather
(Through the stormy weather)
Through the stormy weather

Oh, little girl
Little girl, little girl
