A gentle lullaby about feet, and about shoes that are there to protect a child from the ground rather than to hold the foot in place, with room at the end and room at the sides.

Each episode mixes short talk segments with original songs written for the week's topic. This is a song from the episode "Why is your toddler walking on their toes?".

## Lyrics

**Verse**

Bare feet on the carpet, bare feet on the grass  
Ten little toes doing work as they pass  
Nothing to hold them, nothing to brace  
Just the floor and the whole of the place  


**Chorus**

Just a little bit of growing room  
That's all you ask of me  
Room at the end and room at the sides  
And room to become what you'll be  


**Verse**

Soft in the morning and out in the sun  
Shoes for the sharp things, and then you can run  
The arch will arrive in its own quiet way  
No rush and no watching, no need either way  


**Chorus**

Just a little bit of growing room  
That's all you ask of me  
Room at the end and room at the sides  
And room to become what you'll be  


**Outro**

Room to grow, love  
Room to grow
