[Verse 1: Gentle piano and warm strings]
A tiny hand just brushed my cheek
Like morning sun so soft and meek
I never knew a heart could swell
With just one breath, one "hello" to tell
The world outside can wait awhile
I’ll hold you close, my precious child
Your laughter’s yet to find its sound
But peace is where your peace is found
[Pre-Chorus: Light harp arpeggios, swelling strings]
Mountains may rise, oceans may roam
But you’ll always have a home
[Chorus: Full orchestra with brass swells and choir harmony]
WELCOME, LITTLE LIGHT, SO BRIGHT AND TRUE!
EVERY DAWN WILL SING ITS SONG FOR YOU!
MAY YOUR PATH BE KIND, YOUR HEART STAY FREE—
GROW IN LOVE, AND LOVE WILL GROW IN THEE!
[Verse 2: Woodwinds enter, gentle rhythm]
I’ll watch you chase the butterflies
With wonder gleaming in your eyes
Each stumble, every brave first try
Will paint your sky with wings to fly
And when the storms begin to call
I’ll stand beside you, strong and tall
Not to shield you from the rain
But teach you how to dance again
[Pre-Chorus: Harp and rising string countermelody]
Seasons will turn, years will run
But you’re our greatest victory won
[Chorus: Full orchestra with layered choir and triumphant brass]
WELCOME, LITTLE LIGHT, SO BRIGHT AND TRUE!
EVERY DAWN WILL SING ITS SONG FOR YOU!
MAY YOUR PATH BE KIND, YOUR HEART STAY FREE—
GROW IN LOVE, AND LOVE WILL GROW IN THEE!
[Bridge: Strings only, tender and intimate]
(male)No map we’ve known, no road we’ve planned
(female)Could lead us to this moment’s hand
(both softly)Two hearts now three—a sacred thread
Woven in joy, in hope, in dread…
[Chorus: Grand finale with full choir and majestic brass]
WELCOME, LITTLE LIGHT, SO BRIGHT AND TRUE!
THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD AWAITS FOR YOU!
MAY YOUR DAYS BE WARM, YOUR SPIRIT BOLD—
YOUR STORY’S JUST BEGUN… AND WE’LL BE HOLDING!
[Outro: Piano and solo violin fade]
