Khatera Alefi

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My first lesson wore your face Khatera, you made me brave Life, my name, and blood you gave Then taught me how to take my place You said, "Go on, be all you want" You made the hard things feel less hard Our little house ran on your laugh And on the love you left in jars [Pre-Chorus] Warmth in the kitchen Hope in the hall If I was small You made me tall [Chorus] Khatera Alefi, you lifted me (You lifted me) Khatera Alefi, you set me free (You set me free) I can be anything I can be anything 'Cause you believed in me [Verse 2] You filled the rooms with jokes and care Comfort folded in the air Movies on and shoes kicked off You taught me how to stand up strong When doubt came knocking at my door You were the voice that wanted more No chain could hold what you had built A life of courage, love, and will [Pre-Chorus] Warmth in the kitchen Hope in the hall If I was small You made me tall [Chorus] Khatera Alefi, you lifted me (You lifted me) Khatera Alefi, you set me free (You set me free) I can be anything I can be anything 'Cause you believed in me [Bridge] If I fall, I hear your name Soft and steady, still the same Strong and loving, all you are You are my home, my north star [Final Chorus] Khatera Alefi, you lifted me (You lifted me) Khatera Alefi, you set me free (You set me free) I can be anything I can be anything 'Cause you believed in me (You believed in me)
