First Steps - M-Pact

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
