[Verse 1] I thought adventure needed tickets and a train, Now it's getting both your socks on while you try to eat the rain. You've learned to point at pigeons like you've found a famous star, And every walk with you takes twice as long. [Chorus] Small shoes by the door, big change in my heart, You made a world from things I walked straight past. I haven't all the answers, but this much is true, I'll keep learning, one small step behind you. [Verse 2] At three you couldn't settle, so we watched the washing turn, I told you all the things I thought a father ought to learn. You yawned through my big promises and grabbed my little finger, And suddenly the simple job was staying there a little longer. [Bridge] One day those shoes will carry you to places I won't go, You'll have your private jokes and songs and people I don't know. I hope I give you courage and a place to rest your head, And room to be yourself beyond the stories that I've said. [Chorus] Small shoes by the door, big change in my heart, You made a world from things I walked straight past. I haven't all the answers, but this much is true, I'll keep learning, one small step behind you.
