Verse 1
I learned to walk through broken rooms
Without a single sound
Learned to smile when storms were near
And keep my feet on ground
Built a life of careful steps
Where nothing could go wrong
But somewhere in the quiet
Was a feeling all along
Chorus
There’s a child behind the door
Knocking softly on the floor
Not asking for a rescue
Not asking for a cure
Just waiting in the silence
For someone to explore
The child behind the door.
Verse 2
I got real good at moving fast
At staying strong and wise
At turning pain to laughter
And tears to good advice
But one night in the stillness
When the running finally slowed
I heard a tiny heartbeat
From a place I never showed
Chorus
There’s a child behind the door
Knocking softly on the floor
Not asking for a rescue
Not asking for a cure
Just waiting in the silence
For someone to explore
The child behind the door.
Bridge
No blame, no shame
No story to defend
Just a trembling little signal
From a body that could mend.
Final Chorus
Now the door is open slowly
And the room is full of light
The child is still inside me
But she doesn’t have to fight
She only wanted kindness
She only wanted more
Than silence behind the door.
