When your tiny heart first b**t inside
Before we knew your face, we cried
A treasure growing quietly in time
We loved you more than words could say
Now years have passed and you've grown strong
With wisdom in your soul all along
You stand with grace, you face the storm
And build your life your own true way
But baby now...
You're out there chasing dreams with fire
We're standing just a step behind
Still feeling every ache you hide
Oh, we're proud now...
Of the woman that you’ve dared to be
But we still see you at age three
And we'll love you endlessly
We're just thinking out loud
We'll be near you — always — somehow
And when you choose a path unknown
We trust the seeds we've gently sown
And though you walk that road alone
You're never far from where we are
'Cause every triumph, every tear
Still moves us just like yesteryears
You may not see, but we are near
In every quiet midnight star
And baby now...
You're fighting for your dreams so bright
We’re watching, silent, through the night
Holding our hope and hearts so tight
Oh, we're proud now...
We won’t hold you or make you stay
But we’ll be close in our own way
And in your silence, still we pray
We're just thinking out loud
We’ll walk with you — always — somehow
Oh... we’ll never pull your wings away
You were meant to fly, and we won’t stray
But when the winds are cruel and loud
We'll be your shelter, strong and proud
So baby now...
If the world ever turns unkind
Just look for us and you will find
We’re standing just behind your stride
And we’ll say it out loud
You're our light, our hope, our vow
And we'll love you — always — somehow
