Plenty To Say

A hopeful acoustic pop song for a child who does not speak yet, and for the family modelling a communication book month after month before the first answer comes back.

Aderet Therapy Weekly is a weekly paediatric physiotherapy podcast for parents of babies and young children, made by Aderet Therapy in Campbelltown, in the Macarthur region of NSW. Each episode mixes short talk segments with original songs written for the week's topic. This is a song from the episode "Is my child's cerebral palsy getting worse?".

Lyrics

Verse

We gave you a book to point to

The first picture said more

I pointed at more and said it

You watched from the floor

Chorus

You've got plenty to say

You have always had plenty to say

So we gave you the way

Now I know what you want right away

Verse

A baby hears talking two years

Before they give one word

I pointed and said it for months

Till you ask to be heard

Chorus

You've got plenty to say

You have always had plenty to say

So we gave you the way

Now I know what you want right away

Verse

We sit you up straight in your chair

We put the book in reach

You can't choose a word you can't see

So the chair, then the speech

Chorus

You've got plenty to say

You have always had plenty to say

So we gave you the way

Now I know what you want right away
