She Walks With Me

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, oh

And she walks with me and she talks with me
And I hold 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 am 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, yeah

Now 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
