Baby Shoes

When I was four

I picked a new name for myself

Didn't like the one I had before

So I swapped the card on the shelf

My teacher laughed

And my parents just sighed

But I'm proud of myself

Even if I'm banged up inside

I'm on my way

But to where I do not know

I've gone from baby shoes

To combat boots

And one day

I'll leave home

I might just be famous

I don't know when I got the nerve to say this

But one day

Things will be different

Scared of change

Oh aren't we all?

My five year old self wouldn't recognize me at all

I'm on my way

But to where I do not know

I've gone from baby shoes

To combat boots

And one day

I'll leave home

I might just be famous

I don't know when I got the nerve to say this

But one day

Things will be different

Just a kid

Too young to make decisions

Does anyone truly know the way?

Or are we filled with precautions?

I'm on my way

But to where I do not know

I've gone from baby shoes

To combat boots

And one day

I'll leave home

I might just be famous

I don't know when I got the nerve to say this

But one day

Things will be different

I'm on my way

But to where I do not know

I've gone from baby shoes

To combat boots

And one day

I'll leave home

I might just be famous

I don't know when I got the nerve to say this

But one day

Things will be different

One day

Things will be different

And that's okay

We just don't know it yet
