Someone's Child

I woke up an hour early, put on my runnin' shoes

Oh man, it's been a while, a half a mile's all i could do

Then i pulled a couple weeds out of the cracks

In the sidewalk to my front door

Poured out the coffee pot, stuck it underneath the cabinet

Drank a tall cool glass of water, gonna break that caffiene habit

And quit steppin' over all my winter clothes

And pick em' up off the floor

Stop by bobby hendons, pay him back that twenty bucks

It's just a little thing, it may not seem like much

Chorus

But hey, it's a start, a speck of light in the dark

A place where smilin' don't come so hard any more

My visions growin' clearer, i see a face that's so familiar

Yeah, this mornin' in the mirror by the door

I caught a glance of the man i've been lookin' for

A couple weeks ago i met a nice girl at my church

She reminded me of you, so sweet and down to earth

Well i finally mustered up a little nerve, and asked her for her number

I met her at the deli on her lunch break yesterday

We both went dutch, so i guess it's not a date

Chorus

Bridge

I remember when the doctor said you didn't have too long

You made me promise i'd move on

But it's puttin' my faith to the test, everyday i do my best

Girl, i know they're only baby steps

Chorus
