First steps taken
To arms there waiting
To break her fall
Momma stops breathing
Every stumble she's feeling
Can't break them all

And she holds her close while she can
But she knows she can't always hold her hand

So she lets go
Laying her heart on the line
She knows that we all fall down sometimes
And its getting up that matters
And in learning that we grow

Taxi's waiting
Her dreams are taking her
Far from home
Daddy stands waving
His heart is aching
She's on her own

And he can't hold on to yesterday
But he'd hold her forever to keep her safe

Chorus

Down on bended knee
He asks her to be
His always
And she took his hand
Yeah she took a chance on fate

Chorus
