Wild and Precious Life (Reception Version)
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
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
'Till we find that we're dancing
Through this one wild and precious life
I'm holding all the memories
And I'm holding back my tears
And I'm treasuring this moment in my heart
This song is almost over
And your new life nearly here
Before you go, I hope you know
How proud of you we are
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
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'd love to see you dancing
Through this one wild and precious life
Mmm-Mmm-Mmm
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
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
'Till we find that we're dancing
Through this one wild and precious life
I'm holding all the memories
And I'm holding back my tears
And I'm treasuring this moment in my heart
This song is almost over
And your new life nearly here
Before you go, I hope you know
How proud of you we are
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
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'd love to see you dancing
Through this one wild and precious life
Mmm-Mmm-Mmm
