Lyrics
Baby Steps
© Lee Johnson
Cute lil girl with her Barbie doll, chubby legs tryin not to fall
Green Pea chin grinning ear to ear, tryin' hard to hide her fear
She was holding Mama's hand, but she lets go
tries to walk towards her Daddy, he says "look how she's grown
She's takin' Baby Steps
They won't come all at one time
Sometimes she'll need some help
But that's a real fine line
Sometimes she needs to fall on the floor
get on her knees and crawl some more
it'll make her stronger, she'll be fine
she's taking Baby Steps...
(note: ch 2 is "he" ch 3 "I" and in ch 3 "crawl "become "pray")
Troubled teen in skateboard shoes, saggy jeans, all that attitude
Lost his Dad in a wreck last year, tryin' hard to hide his fear
his teacher says he needs to learn the rules
his mama says "he can do the work, he's just trying to be cool...
Chorus, then Bridge:
When Uncle Bob got his hip replaced
He said "I wore it out trying to run this race
But you cant quit everytime you're down
Said I'm gonna keep on climbin', til I reach the higher ground...
I'm Takin Baby Steps
They won't come all at one time
Sometimes I'll need some help,
But that's a real fine line
Sometimes I need to fall on the floor
Get on my knees and pray some more
It'll make me stronger, I'll be fine
I'm taking Baby Steps...
