When a game turns into reality, it's something you can't foresee
Suddenly, you're facing what you dreamed to be
No doubts at all, you know this is what you crave
Not just now, it's been something you've always saved
The first time I stepped in with fear in my heart
Desperation hit me, tearing me apart
But when I saw those little faces beaming with glee
Hugging me tight, smiling so freely

Oh, little one, don't you cry
All of you have been so special, my oh my
When I saw him crying, I knew it true
I made a difference
I knew

It's such a short time to spend together
But in these few weeks, we've built something to treasure
When they run to me, arms open wide
Saying: I love you, with nothing to hide
I stopped being scared, I started to smile
This is what I want, I knew all the while
It's just a short time, but bonds grew strong
With every hug, I felt I belonged

Days filled with laughter, nights full of dreams
Every moment precious, or so it seems
Morning Sun rising, bringing hopes anew
Long afternoons planning what I want to give to you

Oh, little one, don't you cry
All of you have been so special, my oh my
When I saw him crying, I knew it true
I made a difference
I knew

I don't want to say goodbye, I've grown attached
No remedy can heal this missing match
I try to tell myself, don't cry 'cause it's done
Smile because it happened, each and every one
When they hugged me, hoping I'd return
I looked at their faces, with a smile so stern
In my mind, one thought so clear
This is where I belong, here I have no fear

Oh, little one, don't you cry
All of you have been so special, my oh my
When I saw him crying, I knew it true
I made a difference
I knew

I don't want to say goodbye, I've grown attached
No remedy can heal this missing match
I try to tell myself, don't cry 'cause it's done
Smile because it happened, each and every one
When they hugged me, hoping I'd return
I looked at their faces, with a smile so stern
In my mind, one thought so clear

This is where I belong, here I have no fear
