As Small As We Are Songtext
von Laura K. Balke

You were taken from the hospital into the lion′s den
Where they found you a baby boy while they were looking for a fugitive
There was no custody battle 'cause mama didn′t show
So you slept in a cradle in my bedroom five years ago

You were so weak and they were so strong
While you took the brunt of the things they did wrong
But as weak as we are I won't be gone long
And you're safe with me when I′m holding your hand
Whatever you are child I understand


And now you′ve got a new mama and a little sister
And the harder you try to get their attention the further you're pushed out the picture
Take the medicine down for your rotting baby teeth
You are much too young to be asking why do you love me

You were so small and they were so big
I couldn′t move a finger while I watched what they did
But as small as we are I promise you this
That you're safe with me when I′m holding your hand
And whatever you are child I understand
Child I understand
Child I understand
Child I understand
Child I understand
