Millie The Arty Intells Lyric Video

Available at: https://theartyintells1.bandcamp.com/track/millie

This heartfelt song tells the story of a father-daughter bond born from love, not blood. When Millie arrived in the UK as a refugee with her three daughters—Natty, Sessen, and Selome—the songwriter embraced them as family. Through struggle, faith, and resilience, they built a home together. It’s a moving tribute to chosen family, the strength of a mother, the light of her children, and the unbreakable love that turns strangers into kin.

Lyrics
She came with the dawn, carrying three little dreams,
Eyes full of strength, and a soul that redeems.
Millie, my light, with Natty, Sessen, and Selome,
They came like a whisper, like waves on the sea.

She’s young but so wise, with scars in her smile,
A strength born of miles, and mile after mile.
Three little shadows that cling to her side,
And a love I could never divide.

They call me Pappa, though not by blood,
Built a home from heartbeats and trust in the Lord.
From the ashes of somewhere they'll never return,
We rise up together, a family to learn.

Millie, you’ve shown me what love really means,
In your daughters’ smiles, I’ve found my dreams.
Family’s not just blood, but a hand to hold,
A story of hope and a heart turned to gold.
Through every struggle, through joy and pain,
With you and your girls, here I’ll remain.

Selome's got laughter like bells in the wind,
Natty's so quiet, her secrets within.
Sessen the wild one, a spark in the night,
Each of them carries a piece of the light.

They call me Pappa, though not by blood,
Built a home from heartbeats and trust in the Lord.
From the ashes of somewhere they'll never return,
We rise up together, a family to learn.

Millie and her girls, we’re bound tight and strong,
In this patchwork of love, they found where they belong.
With Natty, Sessen, and Selome by her side,
We’re one heart and one family, come what may, come what tide.
