The story behind this song
The room goes beep-beep and the lights stay on too long, and some days hurt a little — and that's okay, that's not wrong. There's a stuffed lion standing guard on the pillow all night, paper stars taped along the bed rail, one for every sleep. Just outside the door is a whole crowd of people who love this little one, cheering quietly every single day.
For the brave little kid in the big beepy place, where being scared and being brave get to happen at the very same time.
Lyrics
Hey there, little lion
I've got a song for you
I've got a song for you
I know the room goes beep-beep and the lights stay on too long
And some days hurt a little, and that's okay, that's not wrong
Your lion's on the pillow, standing guard the whole night through
And every star taped on your rail means someone's loving you
And some days hurt a little, and that's okay, that's not wrong
Your lion's on the pillow, standing guard the whole night through
And every star taped on your rail means someone's loving you
Being scared and being brave
Can happen at the same time
Can happen at the same time
You've got a brave little heart, the bravest one I know
It beats like a drum saying go, little fighter, go
The whole crowd's right outside your door, cheering every part
Of you and your brave, brave little heart
It beats like a drum saying go, little fighter, go
The whole crowd's right outside your door, cheering every part
Of you and your brave, brave little heart
The doctors and the helpers, they're your team in funny shoes
And mama smells like home when she leans in close to you
One more sleep, one more star, you're stronger every day
Soon the swings, the dog, your bed — just a few more sleeps away
And mama smells like home when she leans in close to you
One more sleep, one more star, you're stronger every day
Soon the swings, the dog, your bed — just a few more sleeps away
You don't have to be big
To be the bravest one here
To be the bravest one here
You've got a brave little heart, the bravest one I know
It beats like a drum saying go, little fighter, go
The whole crowd's right outside your door, cheering every part
Of you and your brave, brave little heart
It beats like a drum saying go, little fighter, go
The whole crowd's right outside your door, cheering every part
Of you and your brave, brave little heart
And when you're home and bigger, you'll tell the story right:
"I was the kid who wasn't scared — well... maybe just at night"
"I was the kid who wasn't scared — well... maybe just at night"
You've got a brave little heart, the bravest one I know
It beats like a drum saying go, little fighter, go
The whole crowd's right outside your door, cheering every part
Of you and your brave, brave little heart
It beats like a drum saying go, little fighter, go
The whole crowd's right outside your door, cheering every part
Of you and your brave, brave little heart
Goodnight, little lion
We're all right here
We're all right here
