I am the river, flowin' with grace
I am the sun, shinin' in its place
I am the flower bloomin' in the spring
I am the child walkin' for the first time, everything
I am the river, flowin' with grace
I am the sun, shinin' in its place
I am the flower bloomin' in the spring
I am the child walkin' for the first time, everything

Takin' those first steps, you feelin' sure-footed
A helpin' hand from the therapist you said you wouldn't
Felt like Rocky climbin' up them steps, who said you couldn't
your jaw was wide shut but your thoughts were fluent
Car accident left you battered and bruised
Standin' taller and stronger, no longer confused
Scars told the story, but they don't define who you are
Every step you take, your daddy adding pennies to jars

Everything that you do, I see you do with pride
Rise above all the pain, gotta let it subside
And your spirit is strong, no you won't be denied
Ain't nothin' gonna stop you, wanna see em' just try
Courage and strength, shinin' through the night
The journey's just begun, gonna keep up the fight
An angel on your shoulder, every day, said you wanna fly
Sky's the only way you got the fire inside

I am the river, flowin' with grace
I am the sun, shinin' in its place
I am the flower bloomin' in the spring
I am the child walkin' for the first time, everything
I am the river, flowin' with grace
I am the sun, shinin' in its place
I am the flower bloomin' in the spring
I am the child walkin' for the first time, everything
I am the river, flowin' with grace
I am the sun, shinin' in its place
I am the flower bloomin' in the spring
I am the child walkin' for the first time, everything
I am the river, flowin' with grace
I am the sun, shinin' in its place
I am the flower bloomin' in the spring
I am the child walkin' for the first time, everything

I'm an old man with a fading mind
When I see my grandchild, what a sight for sore eyes
Holdin' her, I feel the pride, my heart fillin' with joy
A ray of shine, so many memories lost
Memories I struggle to revive
But deep down, I know this is the moment
Moment of love, moment of hope, moment of focus
My spirit rejuvenated, I am feeling alive again, my soul elevated
Like I was Five again
Everything that you do, I see you do with pride
Rise above all the pain, gotta let it subside
And your spirit is strong, no you won't be denied
Ain't nothin' gonna stop you wanna see em, just try
Courage and strength, shinin' through the night
The journey's just begun, gonna keep up the fight
An angel on your shoulder everyday
Said you wanna fly, sky's the only way, got the fire inside

I am the river, flowin' with grace
I am the sun, shinin' in its place
I am the flower bloomin' in the spring
I am the child walkin' for the first time, everything
I am the river, flowin' with grace
I am the sun, shinin' in its place
I am the flower bloomin' in the spring
I am the child walkin' for the first time, everything
I am the river, flowin' with grace
I am the sun, shinin' in its place
I am the flower bloomin' in the spring
I am the child walkin' for the first time, everything
I am the river, flowin' with grace
I am the sun, shinin' in its place
I am the flower bloomin' in the spring
I am the child walkin' for the first time, everything
