Everyone says they’ve got difficult kids But maybe the kids were never the problem Maybe we just forgot who they were They came in loud, they came in bright Little sparks in the middle of the night Eyes wide open, hearts like flame Didn’t even know the word for shame Running wild through kitchen floors Turning cardboard boxes into war Laughing like the world was theirs And somehow… it kinda was But somewhere between the rules and fear Between “be quiet” and “stand right here We start to forget what they came with first A soul that already knew its worth We say they’re stubborn, loud, and wild But that’s just courage in a child Every kid was born with greatness inside Running like rivers they don’t know to hide They don’t need fixing, they don’t need saving Just someone patient enough for the shaping Look in their eyes when the world feels big They’re not broken… they’re learning to live Truth is simple if you remember it right They were always great We just forgot the light Some get loud when their hearts feel small Some shut down and don’t talk at all Some push back when they feel alone Some build walls that look like stone But every storm that you see them fight Started somewhere out of sight A kid ain’t “bad,” a kid’s just hurt Trying to stand in a grown-up world And when they yell or slam the door What they’re really asking for Is someone steady enough to stay Even on their hardest day They don’t need perfect They don’t need control They just need someone who remembers their soul Every kid was born with greatness inside Brighter than stars they’re taught to hide They don’t need heroes carved in stone Just someone there to help them grow And one day they’ll stand up tall and proud Laughing louder than any crowd And you’ll look back and finally see They were always great We just had to believe. Everyone has great kids Sometimes we just forget to look for them
