Little Hands
Inland Sky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the world is yours
hold it close with open arms
little feet
with miles ahead
take it slow see it all take it in
I see me in you,
I see me in you,
you in me
I see it in your eyes
I see it in your eyes
little heart
dance it out
so the ins and outs won't bring you down
little dream
grow up tall
with a little rain
a little sun you'll feel alive
I see me in you,
you in me
I see me in you,
you in me
I see it in your eyes
I see it in your eyes
little hands
the world is yours
hold it close with open arms
little hands

The lyrics focus on the importance of holding onto one's dreams and passions, dancing through life's ups and downs, and growing up with resilience and determination.
The repeating line "I see me in you, you in me" speaks to the deep connection and understanding between parent and child. It is an acknowledgement that as we guide our children through the world, we also learn and grow from them. The final lines "little hands, the world is yours, hold it close with open arms" encapsulates the message of the song perfectly, encouraging children to take ownership of their life journey while welcoming all that comes their way.

My daughter and son-in-law played this song in the background as they popped open the confetti wands for their baby gender reveal! It was the perfect song! Can't wait to be a first time grandma in December!!
