Lyrics
Little girl
Don't you cry
But if you must
You can weep in my arms
I'll defend your peace
I'll keep you from harm
I'll be your roots
So you can grow strong
Little girl
You're playing hide and seek
With your emotions you bury six feet deep
Oh child, don't you bottle them up
If you don't release them, you're gonna pop
Pressure doesn't always make diamonds
Sometimes it makes you break
But with me you don't need to worry
I am your mother, I'll keep you safe
Inner child
I'll keep you safe
I am your mother
I'll keep you safe
Inner child
I'll keep you safe
I am your mother
I'll keep you safe
Little girl
Oh, they lie
Don't listen
They feed on self doubt
Try to keep you quiet
So no one finds out
That there are bodies
Hidden under their ground
Little girl
They put a spell on you
They repeat words and make sure that they stick like glue
Now their inside your mind with their hurtful lines
Your value was never for them to define
Pressure doesn't always make diamonds
Sometimes it makes you break
But with me you don't need to worry
I am your mother, I'll keep you safe
Inner child
I'll keep you safe
I am your mother
I'll keep you safe
Inner child
I'll keep you safe
I am your mother
I'll keep you safe
Oh, when you fall, you get up again
When you have no one, you still have yourself
Validate how you feel, hold your own hand
Be kind to yourself, be your best friend
If something feels wrong, listen to your gut
Take a break, take a deep breath when it gets too much
Don't forget external validation isn't self love
Remember when you're not at your best, you're enough
You are enough
You are enough
You are enough
You are enough
Pressure doesn't always make diamonds
Sometimes it makes you break
But with me you don't need to worry
I am your mother, I'll keep you safe
Inner child
I keep you safe
I am your mother
I keep you safe
Inner child
I keep you safe
