Emily Hope - Little Birds

I knew I couldn't stay forever
Even though I wish I could
Even though you wish I would
At least I know I'm welcome whenever
To spend sweet time together
The door's always open, now mine is too

And I'm thankful 'cause I was so blessed
With years full of laughter
You taught me what really matters
And I'm humble 'cause you were so good
You gave me nothing less than your very best
And now I'm outside looking in, singin' what's up next?

You knew just what you were doing
Even if you didn't think so
But I hope now you know
Hands always out to protect me when I couldn't see where I was heading
When I wasn't ready
You stopped me right before the edge with the wise words you said
Looking back I'm glad I listened

And I'm thankful 'cause I was so blessed
With years full of laughter
You taught me what really matters
And I'm humble 'cause you were so good
You gave me nothing less than your very best
And now I'm outside looking in, singin' what's up next?

From tickle fights almost every night
To holding me when boys made me cry
From walks and talks at the park
To our front porch watching stars
From holding hands to cross the street, long drive and bleacher seats
You were always there for me within arm's reach...
Well Lord, I'm a little lonely
Won't you help me set my mind right?
Remind me where my home is
In Your hands, I'll be just fine
'Cause you know...little birds gotta fly
