Six pounds an' nine ounces lookin' up at me,
Like I have all the answers:
I hope you have the ones you need.
I've never really done this: now I know what scared is.

Sometimes I'll protect you from everything that's wrong.
Other times I'll let you just find out on your own.
But that's when you'll be growing,
And the whole time I'll be knowing.

You're gonna fly with every dream you chase.
You're gonna cry but know that that's ok.
Sometimes life's not fair, but if you hang in there,
You're gonna see that sometimes bad is good.
We just have to believe,
Things work out like they should.
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me,
You're gonna be.

I'm afraid you'll have to suffer through some of my mistakes,
Lord knows, I'll be tryin', oh, to give you what it takes:
What it takes to know the diff'rence,
Between getting by an' living.

'Cause anything worth doing is worth doing all the way.
Just know you'll have to live with all the choices that you make.
So make sure you're always giving,
Way more than you're taking.

You're gonna fly with every dream you chase.
You're gonna cry but know that that's ok.
Sometimes life's not fair, but if you hang in there,
You're gonna see that sometimes bad is good.
We just have to believe,
Things work out like they should.
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me,
You're gonna be.

Someone's everything, you're gonna see,
Just what you are to me.

You're gonna fly with every dream you chase.
We just have to believe,
Things work out like they should.
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me,
You're gonna be.
Always loved by me.
