M-Pact - First Steps lyrics

For so long I was living my life Very secure in my conviction I was sure no one would see inside As long as I held to my perfection But a voice within kept telling me it's something was wrong That the truth I knew was merely contemplation I tried to ignore that peaceful inner song But my hand would not stop shaking Watch the baby learning to walk All it can do is stand Wanting so much to be like them Content to hold their hand Watch the baby learning to talk Able to mumble sounds Trying so hard to be like them Until he falls back down Looking back, all those years of frustration Better let them go or I'll fall again Holding on to what's left of my faith One day I'll find the perfect match Then a voice within reminds me how it really used to be In spite of myself I made the transformation But I remain a stubborn child Searching desperately for a hand to place my faith in Watch the baby learning to walk All it can do is stand Wanting so much to be like them Content to hold their hand See the baby learning to talk Able to mumble sounds Trying so hard to be like them Until he trips and falls back down
