i was once a good night
now i'm more of good mornings
i was softened by youth
now hardened by time
when the going gets rough,
show the going
you're tough.
stop and breathe, little lady.
not to fast, not too slow.
have you seen what's behind you?
you have come so far now.
all the angels rejoice,
for the guts that you show
you're bold, little lady.
woman in all your glory.
the gods will drink
to celebrate the giant
heart in your chest.
you are more loved,
more worthy,
more celebrated
than you could ever
come to think.
- Little Lady
