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
Shes 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 shell find her way
Like the light of day
Cause its love that makes her strong

Though I cannot stop the rain
And I cannot turn the tide
And Im 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
Ill 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 its love that makes her strong

And as she walks with me
And she talks with me
In my eyes shell see my prayer
As she turns each page
Through this tender age
It is love that makes her strong
Its her love that makes her strong
