[Verse 1]
What were they thinking when they let us take you home?
Could they not see the fear behind our eyes?
You could fill up the Grand Canyon with the things we didn't know
We only knew our love for you was just as deep and wide
[Pre-Chorus]
We got some things wrong and some things right
We had lovely dreams and sleepless nights
But every sunrise brings another chance to be surprised
[Chorus]
Sometimes a leap of faith is the best thing we can do
'Cause if wе wait until we're ready, wе're never gonna move
So we listen to the music and take one step at a time
'Til we find that we are dancing through this one wild and precious life
[Verse 2]
Saw your first steps turn to running then to scraped and broken arms
And we felt the winds of change begin to blow
We didn't know how quickly you'd trade bicycles for cars
Then we were packing up your room, doing our best to let you go
[Chorus]
Sometimes a leap of faith is the best thing we can do
'Cause if we wait until we're ready, we're never gonna move
So we listen to the music and take one step at a time
'Til we find that we are dancing through this one wild and precious life
[Verse 3]
I'm holding all the memories and I'm holding back my tears
And I'm treasuring this moment in my heart
The song is almost over and your new life nearly here
Before you go, I hope you know how proud of you we are
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll get some things wrong and some things right
You'll have lovely dreams and sleepless nights
But every sunrise brings another chance to be surprised
[Chorus]
Sometimes a leap of faith is the best thing we can do
'Cause if we wait until we're ready, we're never gonna move
So we listen to the music and take one step at a time
Until we find that we are dancing, how I love to see you dancing
Through this one wild and precious life
[Outro]
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
What were they thinking when they let us take you home?
Could they not see the fear behind our eyes?
You could fill up the Grand Canyon with the things we didn't know
We only knew our love for you was just as deep and wide
[Pre-Chorus]
We got some things wrong and some things right
We had lovely dreams and sleepless nights
But every sunrise brings another chance to be surprised
[Chorus]
Sometimes a leap of faith is the best thing we can do
'Cause if wе wait until we're ready, wе're never gonna move
So we listen to the music and take one step at a time
'Til we find that we are dancing through this one wild and precious life
[Verse 2]
Saw your first steps turn to running then to scraped and broken arms
And we felt the winds of change begin to blow
We didn't know how quickly you'd trade bicycles for cars
Then we were packing up your room, doing our best to let you go
[Chorus]
Sometimes a leap of faith is the best thing we can do
'Cause if we wait until we're ready, we're never gonna move
So we listen to the music and take one step at a time
'Til we find that we are dancing through this one wild and precious life
[Verse 3]
I'm holding all the memories and I'm holding back my tears
And I'm treasuring this moment in my heart

Through this one wild and precious life
[Outro]
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
