Little Footsteps

[Verse 1] Morning slides across the wooden floor Someone left a slipper by the door Down from the blanket, one soft paw Reaching for a world he's never saw [Pre-Chorus] A button eye, a hopeful chest No idea which way is best Just a wobble, just a lean Into the biggest room he's ever seen [Chorus] Little footsteps, one and two Everything is brand and new The rug's an ocean, the chair's a hill Nothing here has scared him still Little footsteps, soft and slow Look at all the far to go [Verse 2] A dust cloud dancing in the light Feels like fireworks in his sight The clock goes tick and he holds his breath Bravest little heart, still fresh [Pre-Chorus] A shoelace turns into a snake A crayon roll's an earthquake But he steadies, and he grins That's how every journey begins [Chorus] Little footsteps, one and two Everything is brand and new The rug's an ocean, the chair's a hill Nothing here has scared him still Little footsteps, soft and slow Look at all the far to go [Bridge] [soft] And when he stumbles by the bed He climbs right back, holds up his head The room got bigger overnight But so did he, in morning light [Chorus] Little footsteps, three and four He isn't tiny anymore The rug's an ocean he can cross A brave new heart that's never lost Little footsteps, warm and true Look how far this room saw you [Outro] [whispered] One more step, then off to play He learned to walk the whole world today
