You came into the world
Beeping machines and tubes
Fed you inside a cube

Seems it was yesterday

Balance bike on the deck
Sharp turn then you wrecked
Bloody mess, ER trip
Got you a popsicle stick

Seems it was yesterday

I’ll tell you something
I’ll tell it true
Some days I barely just
Made it through

I’ll tell you something
I’ll tell it true
Some days I barely just
Made it through

You drew a crooked line
I said it looks just fine
You clapped your hands and smiled
Hindsight - you were a damn good child
