Spirit Of A Squirrel

Verse 1

She sat beside her mama on a quiet evening

Ten years old with a heart full of questions

"Tell me, Mama, 'bout the ways of our people,

'Bout the spirits and the lessons they teach us."

Mama smiled and held her close,

Said, "There are things the heart can know.

If you want to find your spirit animal,

We'll sit real still and let it show."

Pre-Chorus

So, they listened to the wind outside

To the little whispers passing by

Mama looked into her daughter's eyes

And said, "Baby, maybe it's time..."

Chorus

"You've got the spirit of a squirrel,

Little one, running through this world.

Quick with your feet, bright in your eyes

Always searching, always asking why

You gather love, you gather dreams

You find the beauty in little things

So, when you wonder who you are,

Remember, child, you carry that spark.

You've got the spirit of a squirrel."

Verse 2

"The squirrel knows when winter's coming,

It gathers what it needs with care.

It finds a way through every season,

And never forgets the love that's there

It climbs up high, then comes back down,

Knows every corner of this ground.

It may be small, but don't you doubt it

There's a mighty spirit all around it."

Pre-Chorus

Daughter listened, wide-eyed and still

Taking in every word with wonder

Mama said, "There's wisdom in the little ones,

If you take the time to hear their thunder."

Chorus

"You've got the spirit of a squirrel,

Little one, running through this world.

Quick with your feet, bright in your eyes

Always searching, always asking why

You gather love, you gather dreams

You find the beauty in little things

So, when you wonder who you are,

Remember, child, you carry that spark.

You've got the spirit of a squirrel."

Bridge

"And when you grow, don't lose that wonder,

Don't let the world make your heart grow cold.

Keep your questions, keep your laughter

Keep the stories that your elders told.

Walk with respect, walk with courage,

Know the blood and love you carry.

And wherever your little feet may wander,

Remember where you started, baby."

Final Chorus

"You've got the spirit of a squirrel,

Little one, running through this world.

Quick with your feet, bright in your eyes,

Gathering love wherever you go

Planting little seeds that someday grow.

And when you look back years from now,

I hope you still remember how

Your mama looked into your eyes and said,

'There's a beautiful spirit in you, child.'

You've got the spirit of a squirrel."

Outro

Ten years old, sitting with her mama

Learning something deeper than words

A question turned into a blessing

A little girl listening to the world

And somewhere beneath the evening sky

She carried that lesson in her heart-

Sometimes the smallest spirits

Can teach us who we are.
