I felt like an infant among adults
Small and weak, in a tall, strong crowd
The world was brand new
And I cried so hard
Pain and joy, mingled into one
Thank you for your patience,
As I learn to walk
I fall, and fall again, and you help me up
You call me forward, hands outstretched
I don't feel ashamed
Because you're my mother,
and I'm learning to walk
Thank you for your eyes
As I learn to run
I trip, and fall hard, and you help me up
You look me in the eyes, and call my name
I don't feel ashamed
Because you're my father
and I'm learning to walk
Newly born
I am a child among children
Faithful and trusting, in a tall, noisy crowd
This world, our temporary home
And I cry so hard
Joy and pain, mingled into one
