Lyrics
LITTLE MIGHTY ONE by Chip Raman,
Album "Edge of a Song"
รข_"You are my little brother not by blood, by circumstance
You are surely like no other
meeting you was not by chance
You were born a warrior
God Bless your raging Soul
Most courageous man I know
and you're only six years old
I can see beyond your fury Radiant boy that shines within
I wish I could rewrite your story
when a child pays wages of sin
Rave on mighty one with your innocence on fire
so much living to be done you've got to reach up higher
reach up higher little mighty one
I could cry a million tears at the very thought of you
How you brave your gravest fears
Tough it out see it through
With my hand upon my heart
I hope you can unclench your fist
You're strong enough to fight the urge
When temptation strikes, resist
You're the one I so admire
I hope someday you get this song
I hope you find some peace of mind
I pray you live that long
