Little Gremlin
[Verse 1] You show up Monday with a tray of something sweet, Twenty-two five-year-olds just rushing to their feet, You've got chalk on your sleeve and a plan for the day, Six years of glitter and you still wouldn't trade it away, And at night you're investigating cold cases, lights low, Serum on your face, got a podcast on, letting it go. [Chorus] Happy thirty, Mia, here's what I want you to know, You cried at Cars 2 twice — I was there, I saw the whole show, You've filled fourteen journals since we were just kids, And you still call me gremlin, and I'm glad that you did. [Verse 2] I've been your little gremlin since the age of five, You were the first person who made me feel seen and alive, Every Disney Saturday, you'd hand me a blanket, Every hard thing I've been through, you made me feel I could handle it, Page after page, you wrote down every version of you, Thirty years of chapters — and the best ones are still coming through. [Chorus] Happy thirty, Mia, here's what I want you to know, You cried at Cars 2 twice — I was there, I saw the whole show, You've filled fourteen journals since we were just kids, And you still call me gremlin, and I'm glad that you did.
