The Wobble Comes First

A gentle acoustic folk song about wobbling being the first part of learning to balance, not a sign that anything has gone wrong.

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 the song from episode 5, “Why does more practice not fix a wobbly child?”.

Lyrics

Verse

Hand on the low table, one foot in the air

Halfway to standing and halfway to nowhere

Down on the carpet and up on your toes

That is not failing, love, that is how it goes

Chorus

The wobble comes first and the steady comes after

A knee on the floor and a mouthful of laughter

Nobody's counting and nobody's timed it

The wobble comes first, and then you'll find it

Verse

Three little things hold you up off the ground

Strong, and knowing, and working it out

One of them is still learning, love, that is all

That is all that a wobble is, that is all

Chorus

The wobble comes first and the steady comes after

A knee on the floor and a mouthful of laughter

Nobody's counting and nobody's timed it

The wobble comes first, and then you'll find it

Outro

The wobble comes first

And then you'll find it
