This is one of Bilal’s most personal songs, it won him a second Grammy nomination in the Best Urban performance category. He pays tribute to his son who is affected by autism.
In the clip below, he talks about how that song nearly didn’t come out.

They say it's gonna take a miracle to bring you back again
They say there's nothing they can do
But I'm not the only one who sees the possibility in you
You know your mama sees it too
No matter what it takes
I'll make sure that you find, you find your way
I'll know how hard you've been tryin'
Little one
I never wanna be a mystery to you
I'm not a god and I ain't no saint
I'm just a man workin' every day to be a better man
One day you'll learn to be one too
No matter what it takes
I won't let you make the same mistakes
But I won't hold nothin' against you
I will always be there to hold your hand
And I can help you walk but can't make you stand
So whenever you feel like you can't go on
Just believe you can, you can
And you will, you always will
Oh, you always will
No matter what it takes
I'll make sure that you find, you find your way
I'll know how hard you've been tryin', yeah
I won't let you make the same mistake
I'll always love you
Little one
