Lyric

You were so tiny when you came into this light

I held my breath and watched you through the night

I worried for you, so fragile and so small

Wondering if you’d ever stand up tall

But lately, you’ve grown strong and so much more

A dependability I’ve never seen before

What happened to the baby I once knew?

A reliable spirit is shining out from you

Thinking for yourself and choosing your own way

You’re the one I lean on at the end of the day

Sometimes you surprise me with a kindness so deep

A gentle promise that you always keep

Thank you for the heart you choose to show

Thank you for the way you’ve helped me grow

You don’t have to push, you don’t have to try

Just be who you are under the open sky

You can take it easy, you don’t have to be brave

Spread your wings upon the golden wave

Do what you love, follow every dream

Life isn’t always as hard as it may seem

I just want to see the laughter in your eyes

The greatest gift beneath the summer skies

Just having you here... is more than enough for me

You were so quiet in the days of long ago

I worried if your feelings would ever start to flow

But lately, you’re laughing and talking so much

A vibrant soul with a magical touch

The warmth of your hand when we’re walking along

Is the melody that makes my spirit strong

You’ve taught me so much, more than I could say

Thank you for helping me find my own way

Because you are here

Because you are you

I can find my smile again
