From the first breath of her life
|
She flew straight into my arms
|
I used to catch her from the swings
|
When she was five...
|
And now she dances on the wind
|
In a world as hard as stone
|
She's so anxious to begin
|
And ready to fly...
|
|
And she walks with me
|
And she talks with me
|
As she holds her hand in mine
|
I know she'll find her way
|
Like the light of day
|
Cause it's love that makes her strong
|
|
Though I cannot stop the rain
|
And I cannot turn the tide
|
And I'm sure there will be things
|
That break her heart
|
I can only let her know
|
I am always on her side
|
And even as I let her go
|
I¡¯ll never be far
|
|
And she walks with me
|
And she talks with me
|
In her eyes I see her truth
|
Born of her fire and grace
|
As she finds her place
|
Cause it's love that makes her strong
|
|
And as she walks with me
|
And she talks with me
|
In my eyes she¡¯ll see my prayer
|
As she turns each page
|
Through this tender age
|
It is love that makes her strong
|
It¡¯s her love that makes her strong
|

She Walks With Me
