Erika Olson - Little Shoulders Lyrics

She floats into the kitchen jeans hugging on her 4-foot frame
A sleepy stare, a mop of hair craves my embrace
Grateful to pull her close, close the latest news
Plastic oceans, raging fires, a world she'd never choose
My arms fold 'round her shoulders and hug her bird like bones
Tender wings will carry her to a future so unknown

Little shoulders
Are stronger than they look
They'll move the mountains
We never could
Little shoulders will
Save the world
The little shoulders
Of my little girl
The little shoulders
Of my little girl

You're a girl who knows her mind and stands for what is fair
On the playground with skipping ropes with teddy bears
Right now, I'll hold you close, keep you steady
The fight will soon be yours, you'll be ready

Little shoulders
Are stronger than they look
They'll move the mountains
We never could
Little shoulders will
Save the world
The little shoulders
Of my little girl
The little shoulders
Of my little girl

If the storm swallows you like Daddy's shirts today
Close your eyes, feel your faith, slowly find your the way
Sing, dance, be one with joy, play the lost and sacred chords
Catch the moon in your wings as you soar

Little shoulders
Are stronger than they look
They'll move the mountains
We never could
Little shoulders will
Save the world
The little shoulders
Of my little girl
The little shoulders
Of our little girls
