Lyrics

FIRST FEW STEPS


DADDY HELD HIS ARMS OUT WIDE
AND WATCHED ME WALK AWAY
HE POINTED ME
TOWARDS MAMA?S ARMS
AND SAID,?DON?T BE AFRAID?
I NEVER WILL FORGET THE WORDS
I HEARD MY DADDY SAY
HIS WORDS ARE JUST AS STRONG
IN ME TODAY


I?LL HELP YOU WITH
THE FIRST FEW STEPS
AND CATCH YOU IF YOU FALL
I?LL BE WITH YOU
WHEN LIFE GETS TOUGH
AND HELP YOU THROUGH IT ALL
YOU?RE STANDING ON
YOUR OWN TWO FEET
BUT IF I HEAR YOU CALL
I?LL HELP YOU WITH
THE FIRST FEW STEPS
AND CATCH YOU IF YOU FALL


I DON?T REMEMBER MUCH
WHEN I WOKE UP IN THAT BED
THEY PULLED ME FROM
A REAL BAD WRECK
THAT?S WHAT DADDY SAID
HE TOLD ME IF YOU WANT TO WALK
THERE?S LOTS OF WORK AHEAD
I STILL REMEMBER SOMETHIN?
ELSE HE SAID


I?LL HELP YOU WITH
THE FIRST FEW STEPS
AND CATCH YOU IF FALL
SOMETIMES LIFE?S A LITTLE ROUGH
BUT WE?LL GET THROUGH IT ALL
WE?LL GET YOU BACK UP ON YOUR FEET
BUT IF I HEAR YOU CALL
I?LL HELP YOU WITH
THE FIRST FEW STEPS
AND CATCH YOU IF YOU FALL


MAMA CALLED TO TELL ME
DADDY PASSED AWAY
I PUT MY FACE DOWN IN MY HANDS
AND I BEGAN TO PRAY
AS I ASKED FOR GUIDANCE
I COULD STILL HEAR DADDY SAY
FROM SOMEWHERE DEEP IN ME
I HEARD HIM SAY


I?LL HELP YOU WITH
THE FIRST FEW STEPS
AND CATCH YOU IF YOU FALL
I?LL BE WITH YOU
WHEN LIFE GETS TOUGH
AND HELP YOU THROUGH IT ALL
GET BACK ON
YOUR OWN TWO FEET
AND IF I HEAR YOU CALL
I?LL HELP YOU WITH
THE FIRST FEW STEPS
AND CATCH YOU IF YOU FALL
